In finding out the refractive index of a glass slab,the following observations were made through a travelling microscope: $50$ vernier scale divisions $= 49$ $MSD$; $20$ divisions on the main scale in each $cm$. For a mark on paper:
$MSR = 8.45 \ cm, VC = 26$
For the mark on paper seen through the slab:
$MSR = 7.12 \ cm, VC = 41$
For a powder particle on the top surface of the glass slab:
$MSR = 4.05 \ cm, VC = 1$
($MSR =$ Main Scale Reading,$VC =$ Vernier Coincidence)
The refractive index of the glass slab is:

  • A
    $1.42$
  • B
    $1.52$
  • C
    $1.24$
  • D
    $1.35$

When light travels from one medium to another with a different refractive index, which of the following will change?

As shown in the figure,after passing through medium $1$,the speed of light $v_{2}$ in medium $2$ will be $..... \times 10^{8} \, ms^{-1}$. (Given $c = 3 \times 10^{8} \, ms^{-1}$)

There are certain materials developed in laboratories which have a negative refractive index. $A$ ray incident from air (medium $1$) into such a medium (medium $2$) shall follow a path given by

Monochromatic light is refracted from air into glass of refractive index $\mu$. The ratio of the wavelength of incident and refracted waves is

For a colour of light,the wavelength in air is $6000 \ \mathring A$ and in water,the wavelength is $4500 \ \mathring A$. Then the speed of light in water will be:
