$A$ light ray is incident on a medium of refractive index $\mu$. The angle of incidence is twice the angle of refraction. The angle of incidence is:

  • A
    $\cos^{-1}(\mu/2)$
  • B
    $2\cos^{-1}(\mu/2)$
  • C
    $2\sin^{-1}(\mu)$
  • D
    $2\sin^{-1}(\mu/2)$

The refractive index of a medium is $\frac{3}{2}$. The speed of light in this medium is . . . . . . $ms^{-1}$. (Speed of light in vacuum is $c = 3 \times 10^{8} \,ms^{-1}$)

$A$ 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.)

$A$ tank is filled with water to a height of $12.5 \, cm$. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be $9.4 \, cm$. If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index $1.63$ up to the same height,what will be the apparent depth of the needle in $cm$?

$A$ cubical vessel has opaque walls. An observer is located such that she can see only the wall $CD$,but not the bottom. To what height (in $cm$) should water be poured so that she can see an object placed at the bottom at a distance of $10 \, cm$ from the corner $C$? The refractive index of water is $\mu = 1.33 \approx 4/3$.
