The critical angle for a medium is $60^o$. The refractive index of the medium is:

If the refractive index of water is $\frac{4}{3}$ and that of a given glass slab immersed in it is $\frac{5}{3}$,the value of the critical angle for a ray of light tending to go from glass to water is:

Light travels from an optically denser medium $A$ into the optically rarer medium $B$ with speeds $1.8 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$ and $2.7 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$ respectively. The critical angle between them is ($\mu_{A}$ and $\mu_{B}$ are the refractive indices of media $A$ and $B$ respectively).

$A$ water-proof laser pointer of length $10 \,cm$ is placed in a water tank. It rotates about a horizontal axis passing through its centre of mass in a vertical plane as shown in the figure. The time period of rotation is $60 \,s$. Assuming the water to be still and no reflections from the surface of the tank, the duration for which the light beam escapes the tank in one time period is close to ............. $s$. (Take, refractive index of water $= 1.33$)
