In determining the refractive index of a glass slab using a travelling microscope,the following readings are tabulated:
$(a)$ Reading of travelling microscope for ink mark $= 5.123 \ cm$
$(b)$ Reading of travelling microscope for ink mark through glass slab $= 6.123 \ cm$
$(c)$ Reading of travelling microscope for chalk dust on glass slab $= 8.123 \ cm$
From the data,the refractive index of a glass slab is:

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $1.601$
  • C
    $1.399$
  • D
    $1.39$

$A$ ray of light is incident from air on a glass plate having thickness $\sqrt{3} \, cm$ and refractive index $\sqrt{2}$. The angle of incidence of the ray is equal to the critical angle for the glass-air interface.
