The back surface of a glass slab (refractive index $n$ and thickness $t$) is polished to act as a mirror,as shown in the figure. $A$ laser beam is incident on it,which is partially reflected and partially refracted at the air-glass interface. The refracted part is fully reflected at the mirror surface. $A$ pattern of discrete spots of light is observed on a screen placed perpendicular to the glass surface. The spacing between the spots on the screen is:

  • A
    $\frac{2 t \cos \theta}{\sqrt{n^{2}-\sin ^{2} \theta}}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 t \sin \theta}{\sqrt{n^{2}-\sin ^{2} \theta}}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 t \tan \theta}{\sqrt{n^{2}-\sin ^{2} \theta}}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 t \sin \theta}{\sqrt{1-\frac{\sin ^{2} \theta}{n^{2}}}}$

$A$ transparent glass cube of length $24 \,cm$ has a small air bubble trapped inside. When seen normally through one surface from air outside, its apparent distance is $10 \,cm$ from the surface. When seen normally from the opposite surface, its apparent distance is $6 \,cm$. The distance of the air bubble from the first surface is (in $\,cm$)

Three immiscible liquids of densities $d_1 > d_2 > d_3$ and refractive indices $\mu_1 > \mu_2 > \mu_3$ are put in a beaker. The height of each liquid column is $\frac{h}{3}$. $A$ dot is made at the bottom of the beaker. For near normal vision,find the apparent depth of the dot.

The bottom of a container is a glass slab of thickness $4 \ cm$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$. The container contains two immiscible liquids $A$ and $B$ of depths $6 \ cm$ and $8 \ cm$ respectively. When a crack at the bottom surface of the glass slab is viewed from above,by what distance (in $cm$) does it appear to be shifted? The refractive indices of $A$ and $B$ are $1.4$ and $1.3$ respectively.

$A$ 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
