The refractive index of the material of a crystal is $1.68$ and that of castor oil is $1.2$. When a ray of light passes from oil to the crystal,its velocity will change by a factor of:

  • A
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{6}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{7}$

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:
