The speed of light in media $M_1$ and $M_2$ are $1.5 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ and $2.0 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ respectively. $A$ ray of light enters from medium $M_1$ to $M_2$ at an incidence angle $i$. If the ray suffers total internal reflection,the value of $i$ is

$A$ ray of light from a denser medium strikes a rarer medium. The angle of reflection is $r$ and that of refraction is $r'$. The reflected and refracted rays make an angle of $90^{\circ}$ with each other. The critical angle will be:

$A$ ray of light is travelling from glass to air. (refractive index of glass $= 1.5$). The angle of incidence is $50^{\circ}$. The deviation of the ray is

$A$ point source $S$ is placed at the bottom of a transparent block of height $h = 10 \ mm$ and refractive index $n_B = 2.72$. It is immersed in a liquid of lower refractive index $n_L$ as shown in the figure. It is found that the light emerging from the block into the liquid forms a circular bright spot of diameter $D = 11.54 \ mm$ on the top surface of the block. The refractive index of the liquid $n_L$ is:

$A$ point source of light is kept below the surface of water $(n_{w} = 4/3)$ at a depth of $\sqrt{7} \ m$. The radius of the circular bright patch of light noticed on the surface of water is
