$A$ beam of light is propagating at an angle $\alpha_1$ from medium $1$ into medium $2$ at an angle $\alpha_2$. If the wavelength of light in medium $1$ is $\lambda_1$,then the wavelength of light in medium $2$,$\lambda_2$,is:

The refractive index of water with respect to air is $4/3$ and the refractive index of glass with respect to air is $3/2$. The refractive index of water with respect to glass is

The $X-Y$ plane is taken as the boundary between two transparent media $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$. $M_{1}$ in $Z \geq 0$ has a refractive index of $\sqrt{2}$ and $M_{2}$ with $Z < 0$ has a refractive index of $\sqrt{3}$. $A$ ray of light travelling in $M_{1}$ along the direction given by the vector $\overrightarrow{A} = 4\sqrt{3}\hat{i} - 3\sqrt{3}\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}$ is incident on the plane of separation. The value of the difference between the angle of incidence in $M_{1}$ and the angle of refraction in $M_{2}$ will be $....$ degrees.

Immiscible transparent liquids $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ are placed in a rectangular glass container,forming layers based on their densities. The refractive indices of the liquids are given in the table below. The container is illuminated from the side,and a small piece of glass with a refractive index of $1.61$ is gently dropped into the liquid layers. In which liquid will the glass piece not be visible as it descends?
| Liquid | Refractive Index |
| :--- | :--- |
| $A$ | $1.51$ |
| $B$ | $1.53$ |
| $C$ | $1.61$ |
| $D$ | $1.52$ |
| $E$ | $1.65$ |
