$A$ bird is looking at a fish underwater from the air. $h_1$ is the height of the bird above the water surface and $h_2$ is the depth of the fish below the water surface. If $\mu$ is the refractive index of water with respect to air,then the distance of the fish as observed by the bird is:

  • A
    $h_1 + h_2$
  • B
    $h_1 + \frac{h_2}{\mu}$
  • C
    $\mu h_1 + h_2$
  • D
    $\mu h_1 + \mu h_2$

$A$ vessel of depth $2h$ is half-filled with a liquid of refractive index $2\sqrt{2}$ and the upper half with another liquid of refractive index $\sqrt{2}$. The liquids are immiscible. The apparent depth of the inner surface of the bottom of the vessel will be:

The figure shows a ray of light entering and passing through a dense glass slab and emerging from the other side. If the angle of incidence $i=60^{\circ}$, slab thickness $b=0.04 \text{ m}$, and the refractive index of glass $\mu=\sqrt{3}$, the parallel shift $d$ between the emerging and entering rays in $\text{mm}$ is:

The bottom of a container is a glass slab of thickness $4 \ cm$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$. The container contains two immiscible liquids $A$ and $B$ of depths $6 \ cm$ and $8 \ cm$ respectively. When a crack at the bottom surface of the glass slab is viewed from above,by what distance (in $cm$) does it appear to be shifted? The refractive indices of $A$ and $B$ are $1.4$ and $1.3$ respectively.

The time required for light to pass through a glass slab of $2 \ mm$ thickness is $({\mu _{glass}} = 1.5)$.

The time required for the light to pass through a glass slab (refractive index $= 1.5$) of thickness $4 \,mm$ is ($c = 3 \times 10^{8} \,m/s$, speed of light in free space).
