The back surface of a glass slab (refractive index $n$ and thickness $t$) is polished to act as a mirror,as shown in the figure. $A$ laser beam is incident on it,which is partially reflected and partially refracted at the air-glass interface. The refracted part is fully reflected at the mirror surface. $A$ pattern of discrete spots of light is observed on a screen placed perpendicular to the glass surface. The spacing between the spots on the screen is:

  • A
    $\frac{2 t \cos \theta}{\sqrt{n^{2}-\sin ^{2} \theta}}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 t \sin \theta}{\sqrt{n^{2}-\sin ^{2} \theta}}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 t \tan \theta}{\sqrt{n^{2}-\sin ^{2} \theta}}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 t \sin \theta}{\sqrt{1-\frac{\sin ^{2} \theta}{n^{2}}}}$

$A$ 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 $1.5$.

How much water should be filled in a container $21 \ cm$ in height,so that it appears half-filled when viewed from the top of the container? (Given that refractive index of water $\mu = 4/3$)

Consider the situation shown in the figure. Water $\left( \mu_w = \frac{4}{3} \right)$ is filled in a beaker up to a height of $10 \, cm$. $A$ plane mirror is fixed at a height of $5 \, cm$ from the surface of the water. The distance of the image from the mirror after reflection of an object $O$ at the bottom of the beaker is......$cm$.
