$A$ beaker containing liquid is placed on a table,underneath a microscope which can be moved along a vertical scale. The microscope is focused,through the liquid,onto a mark on the table when the reading on the scale is $a$. It is next focused on the upper surface of the liquid and the reading is $b$. More liquid is added and the observations are repeated; the corresponding readings are $c$ and $d$. The refractive index of the liquid is

  • A
    $\frac{d - b}{d - c - b + a}$
  • B
    $\frac{b - d}{d - c - b + a}$
  • C
    $\frac{d - c - b + a}{d - b}$
  • D
    $\frac{d - b}{a + b - c - d}$

$A$ circular disc of radius $R$ is placed co-axially and horizontally inside an opaque hemispherical bowl of radius $a$ (See figure). The far edge of the disc is just visible when viewed from the edge of the bowl. The bowl is filled with a transparent liquid of refractive index $\mu$ and the near edge of the disc becomes just visible. How far below the top of the bowl is the disc placed?

$A$ beam of initially parallel cylindrical light rays travels in a medium with a refractive index $\mu(I) = \mu_0 + \mu_2 I$,where $\mu_0$ and $\mu_2$ are positive constants and $I$ is the intensity. As the intensity of the beam decreases with radius,the speed of light in the medium is:
