$A$ 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 $m$?

The refractive index of glass is $1.5$ and that of water is $1.3$. If the speed of light in water is $2.25 \times 10^8 \, m/s$,what is the speed of light in glass?

$A$ large square container with thin transparent vertical walls and filled with water (refractive index $\mu = \frac{4}{3}$) is kept on a horizontal table. $A$ student holds a thin straight wire vertically inside the water at a distance of $12 \ cm$ from one of its corners,as shown in the figure. Looking at the wire from this corner,another student sees two images of the wire,located symmetrically on each side of the line of sight. The separation (in $cm$) between these images is:

$A$ monochromatic beam of light is travelling from medium $A$ of refractive index $n_{1}$ to a medium $B$ of refractive index $n_{2}$. In the medium $A$,there are $x$ number of waves in a certain distance. In the medium $B$,there are $y$ number of waves in the same distance. Then,the refractive index of medium $A$ with respect to medium $B$ is
