The optical density of turpentine is higher than that of water,while its mass density is lower. The figure shows a layer of turpentine floating over water in a container. For which of the four rays incident on the turpentine as shown in the figure,is the path correct?

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

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.

The velocity of light in glass having a refractive index of $1.5$ is $2 \times 10^8 \ m/s$. What is the refractive index of a liquid in which the velocity of light is $2.50 \times 10^8 \ m/s$?

$A$,$B$ and $C$ are parallel-sided transparent media of refractive indices $n_{1}$,$n_{2}$ and $n_{3}$ respectively. They are arranged as shown in the figure. $A$ ray is incident at an angle $i$ on the surface of separation of $A$ and $B$. After refraction into medium $B$,the ray grazes the surface of separation of media $B$ and $C$. Then,$\sin i$ equals to
