$A$ 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
    $1.60$
  • B
    $1.65$
  • C
    $1.73$
  • D
    $1.75$

$A$ 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 $9.4 \;cm$. What is the refractive index of water?
If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index $1.63$ up to the same height,by what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again?

$A$ glass slab consists of thin uniform layers of progressively decreasing refractive indices $(RI)$ such that the $RI$ of any layer is $\mu - m \Delta \mu$. Here,$\mu$ and $\Delta \mu$ denote the $RI$ of the $0^{\text{th}}$ layer and the difference in $RI$ between any two consecutive layers,respectively. The integer $m = 0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots$ denotes the number of the successive layers. $A$ ray of light from the $0^{\text{th}}$ layer enters the $1^{\text{st}}$ layer at an angle of incidence of $30^{\circ}$. After undergoing the $m^{\text{th}}$ refraction,the ray emerges parallel to the interface. If $\mu = 1.5$ and $\Delta \mu = 0.015$,the value of $m$ is:

$A$ light ray passes through four transparent media with refractive indices $\mu_1, \mu_2, \mu_3$ and $\mu_4$ as shown in the figure. All surfaces are parallel to each other. If the emergent ray $CD$ is parallel to the incident ray $AB$,then:

The difference of speed of light in the two media $A$ and $B$ $(v_{A}-v_{B})$ is $2.6 \times 10^{7} \, m/s$. If the refractive index of medium $B$ is $1.47$,then the ratio of refractive index of medium $B$ to medium $A$ is: (Given: speed of light in vacuum $c = 3 \times 10^{8} \, m/s$)
