Light travels through water in a beaker. The height of the water column is $h$. If the refractive index of water is $\mu_{w}$ and $C$ is the velocity of light in air,the time taken by light to travel through the water will be:

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_{w} h}{C}$
  • B
    $h \mu_{w} C$
  • C
    $\frac{hC}{\mu_{w}}$
  • D
    $\frac{h}{\mu_{w} C}$

$A$ beam of light propagating in medium $A$ with index of refraction $n(A)$ passes across an interface into medium $B$ with index of refraction $n(B)$. The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction; $v(A)$ and $v(B)$ denote the speed of light in $A$ and $B$. Then which of the following is true?

$A$ ray of light is incident at an angle $i$ on a glass slab of refractive index $\mu$. The angle between the reflected and refracted light is $90^{\circ}$. Then,the relationship between $i$ and $\mu$ is

Draw a figure that illustrates the reflection and refraction of light.

If light passes near a massive object,the gravitational interaction causes a bending of the ray. This can be thought of as happening due to a change in the effective refractive index of the medium given by $n = 1 + \frac{2GM}{rc^2}$,where $r$ is the distance of the point of consideration from the centre of the mass of the massive body,$G$ is the universal gravitational constant,$M$ is the mass of the body,and $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum. Considering a spherical object,find the deviation of the ray from the original path as it grazes the object.
