The bottom of a container filled with liquid appears slightly raised because of

If ${ }_{i} \mu_{j}$ represents the refractive index when a ray goes from medium $i$ to medium $j$,then the product ${ }_2 \mu_1 \times { }_3 \mu_2 \times { }_4 \mu_3$ is equal to:

$A$ light ray passes through four transparent media with refractive indices $\mu_1, \mu_2, \mu_3$ and $\mu_4$ as shown in the figure. All surfaces are parallel to each other. If the emergent ray $CD$ is parallel to the incident ray $AB$,then:

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).
