Consider slabs of three media $A, B$ and $C$ arranged as shown in the figure. The refractive index $(R.I.)$ of $A$ is $1.5$ and that of $C$ is $1.4$. If the number of waves in $A$ is equal to the number of waves in the combination of $B$ and $C$,then the refractive index of $B$ is:

  • A
    $1.4$
  • B
    $1.5$
  • C
    $1.6$
  • D
    $1.7$

$A$ monochromatic light is travelling in a medium of refractive index $n=1.6$. It enters a stack of glass layers from the bottom side at an angle $\theta=30^{\circ}$. The interfaces of the glass layers are parallel to each other. The refractive indices of different glass layers are monotonically decreasing as $n_m=n-m \Delta n$,where $n_m$ is the refractive index of the $m^{\text{th}}$ slab and $\Delta n=0.1$ (see the figure). The ray is refracted out parallel to the interface between the $(m-1)^{\text{th}}$ and $m^{\text{th}}$ slabs from the right side of the stack. What is the value of $m$?

On a glass plate,a light wave is incident at an angle of $60^o$. If the reflected and the refracted waves are mutually perpendicular,the refractive index of the material is:
