$A$ light ray undergoes refraction from air to water,water to glass,and finally from glass back to air. If the emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray,which of the following relations is correct? ($n_{a}, n_{w}, n_{g}$ represent the refractive indices of air,water,and glass respectively.)

  • A
    $_{g}n_{w} = \frac{_{a}n_{g}}{_{a}n_{w}}$
  • B
    $_{g}n_{w} = _{a}n_{g} \times _{a}n_{w}$
  • C
    $_{w}n_{g} = \frac{_{a}n_{w}}{_{a}n_{g}}$
  • D
    $_{w}n_{g} = \frac{_{a}n_{g}}{_{a}n_{w}}$

Two light beams fall on a transparent material block at points $1$ and $2$ with angles $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ respectively,as shown in the figure. After refraction,the beams intersect at point $3$,which is exactly on the interface at the other end of the block. Given: the distance between $1$ and $2$ is $d = 4\sqrt{3} \text{ cm}$ and $\theta_1 = \theta_2 = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{n_2}{2n_1}\right)$,where $n_2$ is the refractive index of the block and $n_1$ is the refractive index of the outside medium $(n_2 > n_1)$. Find the thickness of the block in $\text{cm}$.
