$A$ ray of light is incident on a medium of refractive index $\mu$ at an angle of incidence $i$. On refraction in the medium,$\delta$ is the angle of deviation. Then:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\mu} = \cos \delta - \frac{\sin \delta}{\tan i}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\mu} = \sin \delta - \frac{\cos \delta}{\tan i}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\mu} = \cos \delta - \sin \delta \cdot \tan i$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\mu} = \sin \delta - \cos \delta \cdot \tan i$

$A$ large square container with thin transparent vertical walls and filled with water (refractive index $\mu = \frac{4}{3}$) is kept on a horizontal table. $A$ student holds a thin straight wire vertically inside the water at a distance of $12 \ cm$ from one of its corners,as shown in the figure. Looking at the wire from this corner,another student sees two images of the wire,located symmetrically on each side of the line of sight. The separation (in $cm$) between these images is:

$A$ fish in water (refractive index $n$) looks at a bird vertically above in the air. If $y$ is the height of the bird and $x$ is the depth of the fish from the surface,then the distance of the bird as estimated by the fish is

The $x-z$ plane separates two media $A$ and $B$ with refractive indices $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ respectively. $A$ ray of light travels from $A$ to $B$. Its directions in the two media are given by the unit vectors $\vec{r}_A = a\hat{i} + b\hat{j}$ and $\vec{r}_B = \alpha\hat{i} + \beta\hat{j}$ respectively,where $\hat{i}$ and $\hat{j}$ are unit vectors in the $x$ and $y$ directions. Then:
