Light of wavelength $\lambda$ in air enters a medium of refractive index $\mu$. Two points in this medium,lying along the path of this light,are at a distance $x$ apart. The phase difference between these points is:

  • A
    $\frac{2\pi \mu x}{\lambda}$
  • B
    $\frac{2\pi x}{\mu \lambda}$
  • C
    $\frac{2\pi (\mu - 1)x}{\lambda}$
  • D
    $\frac{2\pi x}{(\mu - 1)\lambda}$

An observer can see through a small hole on the side of a jar (radius $15\, cm$) at a point at a height of $15\, cm$ from the bottom (see figure). The hole is at a height of $45\, cm$. When the jar is filled with a liquid up to a height of $30\, cm$,the same observer can see the edge at the bottom of the jar. If the refractive index of the liquid is $N/100$,where $N$ is an integer,the value of $N$ is $.....$
