$A$ 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
    $_{g}n_{w} = \frac{_{a}n_{g}}{_{a}n_{w}}$
  • B
    $_{g}n_{w} = _{a}n_{g} \times _{a}n_{w}$
  • C
    $_{w}n_{g} = \frac{_{a}n_{w}}{_{a}n_{g}}$
  • D
    $_{w}n_{g} = \frac{_{a}n_{g}}{_{a}n_{w}}$

$A$ circular disc of radius $R$ is placed co-axially and horizontally inside an opaque hemispherical bowl of radius $a$ (See figure). The far edge of the disc is just visible when viewed from the edge of the bowl. The bowl is filled with a transparent liquid of refractive index $\mu$ and the near edge of the disc becomes just visible. How far below the top of the bowl is the disc placed?

In the figure given below,a ray of light travelling in a medium of refractive index $\mu$ passes through two different connected rectangular blocks of refractive indices $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ $(\mu_2 > \mu_1)$. The angle of incidence $\theta_1$ is increased slightly. Then,the angle $\theta_2$ is

The $x-z$ plane separates two media $A$ and $B$ with refractive indices $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ respectively. $A$ ray of light travels from $A$ to $B$. Its directions in the two media are given by the unit vectors $\vec{r}_A = a\hat{i} + b\hat{j}$ and $\vec{r}_B = \alpha\hat{i} + \beta\hat{j}$ respectively,where $\hat{i}$ and $\hat{j}$ are unit vectors in the $x$ and $y$ directions. Then:

Is the statement "Angle made by the incident ray with the reflecting surface is the angle of incidence" correct?

Time taken by light to travel in two different materials $A$ and $B$ of refractive indices $\mu_{A}$ and $\mu_{B}$ of the same thickness is $t_{1}$ and $t_{2}$ respectively. If $t_{2}-t_{1}=5 \times 10^{-10} \text{ s}$ and the ratio of $\mu_{A}$ to $\mu_{B}$ is $1:2$. Then the thickness of the material,in meters,is: (Given $v_{A}$ and $v_{B}$ are velocities of light in $A$ and $B$ materials respectively).
