$A$ light of wavelength $\lambda_{1}$ and velocity $C_{1}$ travels from the first medium of refractive index $\mu_{1}$ into the second medium of refractive index $\mu_{2}$. The wavelength and velocity of light in the second medium are $\lambda_{2}$ and $C_{2}$ respectively. The refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first medium is given by:

  • A
    $\frac{C_{2}}{C_{1}}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_{2}}{\mu_{1}}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_{1}}{\mu_{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}}$

$A$ small coin is fixed at the centre of the base of an empty cylindrical steel container having radius $R=1 \,m$ and height $d=4 \,m$. At time $t=0$,the container starts getting filled with water at a flow rate of $Q=0.1 \,m^3/s$ without disturbing the coin. Find the approximate time $t$ in seconds when the coin will first be seen by the observer $O$ from a height of $H=5.75 \,m$ above and $L=1.5 \,m$ radially away from the coin as shown in the figure.
