$A$ glass beaker is filled with water up to $5 \,cm$. It is kept on top of a $2 \,cm$ thick glass slab. When a coin at the bottom of the glass slab is viewed at normal incidence from above the beaker,its apparent depth from the water surface is $d \,cm$. The value of $d$ is close to ........ $cm$ (the refractive indices of water and glass are $1.33$ and $1.5$,respectively).

$A$ small pin fixed on a table top is viewed from above from a distance of $100 \ cm$. By what distance would the pin appear to be raised if it is viewed from the same point through a $9 \ cm$ thick glass slab held parallel to the table (in $cm$)? The refractive index of glass is $1.5$.

Pick out the wrong statement from the following:

The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of a tank,which is filled with water of refractive index $1.33$ to a height of $12.5\,cm$,is measured by a microscope to be $9.4\,cm$. If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index $1.5$ up to the same height,what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again (in $,cm$)?

Consider a configuration of $n$ identical units,each consisting of three layers. The first layer is a column of air of height $h=\frac{1}{3} \text{ cm}$,and the second and third layers are of equal thickness $d=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2} \text{ cm}$,and refractive indices $\mu_1=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$ and $\mu_2=\sqrt{3}$,respectively. $A$ light source $O$ is placed on the top of the first unit,as shown in the figure. $A$ ray of light from $O$ is incident on the second layer of the first unit at an angle of $\theta=60^{\circ}$ to the normal. For a specific value of $n$,the ray of light emerges from the bottom of the configuration at a distance $l=\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ cm}$,as shown in the figure. The value of $n$ is. . . . .

Assume the situation shown in the figure. Water $(\mu_w = 4/3)$ is filled in a beaker up to a height of $10 \, cm$. $A$ plane mirror is fixed at a height of $5 \, cm$ above the water surface. The distance of the image of the object $O$ from the mirror is ...... $cm$.
