$A$ ray of light travels from air to water to glass and again from glass to air. The refractive index of water with respect to air is $x$,glass with respect to water is $y$,and air with respect to glass is $z$. Which one of the following is correct?

$A$ tank is filled with water to a height of $12.5 \, cm$. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be $9.4 \, cm$. The refractive index of water is .....

Frosted glass is widely used for translucent windows. The region where a transparent adhesive tape is stuck over the frosted glass becomes transparent. The most reasonable explanation for this is:

$A$ tank is filled with benzene to a height of $120 \,mm$. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be $80 \,mm$. The refractive index of benzene is: (in $.5$)

What is absolute refractive index? On what factors does it depend?

$A$ vessel of height $2d$ is half-filled with a liquid of refractive index $\sqrt{2}$ and the other half with a liquid of refractive index $n$ (the given liquids are immiscible). Then the apparent depth of the inner surface of the bottom of the vessel (neglecting the thickness of the bottom of the vessel) will be
