An insect starts moving up in a liquid from point $O$ with a variable refractive index $\mu = \mu_0(1 + ay)$,where $y$ is the depth of the liquid from the surface. If $u$ is the speed of the insect,what is its apparent speed to the observer $E$?

$A$ beam of light has a small wavelength spread $\delta \lambda$ about a central wavelength $\lambda$. The beam travels in vacuum until it enters a glass plate at an angle $\theta$ relative to the normal to the plate,as shown in the figure. The index of refraction of the glass is given by $n(\lambda)$. The angular spread $\delta \theta'$ of the refracted beam is given by

If the speed of light in vacuum is $C \ m/s$,then what is the velocity of light in a medium of refractive index $1.5$?

Assertion $(A)$: The colour of radiation does not change on passing through different media.
Reason $(R)$: The media do not absorb or emit colours.

If the velocity of light in the first medium is $v_1$ and in the second medium is $v_2$,then the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first medium is given by:
