$A$ light ray is incident on a spherical glass surface at an angle $\alpha$ and is refracted at an angle $\beta$. What is the angle of deviation between the emergent ray and the incident ray?

  • A
    $\left( {\alpha - \beta } \right)$
  • B
    $2\left( {\alpha - \beta } \right)$
  • C
    $\left( {\alpha - \beta } \right)/2$
  • D
    $\left( {\alpha + \beta } \right)$

The apparent depth of water in a cylindrical water tank of diameter $2R \, cm$ is reducing at the rate of $x \, cm/minute$ when water is being drained out at a constant rate. The amount of water drained in $c.c./minute$ is ($n_1 =$ refractive index of air,$n_2 =$ refractive index of water).

Two light beams fall on a transparent material block at points $1$ and $2$ with angles $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ respectively,as shown in the figure. After refraction,the beams intersect at point $3$,which is exactly on the interface at the other end of the block. Given: the distance between $1$ and $2$ is $d = 4\sqrt{3} \text{ cm}$ and $\theta_1 = \theta_2 = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{n_2}{2n_1}\right)$,where $n_2$ is the refractive index of the block and $n_1$ is the refractive index of the outside medium $(n_2 > n_1)$. Find the thickness of the block in $\text{cm}$.

Green light of wavelength $5460 \mathring{A}$ is incident on an air-glass interface. If the refractive index of glass is $1.5$,the wavelength of light in glass would be ........ $\mathring{A}$.

In finding out the refractive index of a glass slab,the following observations were made through a travelling microscope: $50$ vernier scale divisions $= 49$ $MSD$; $20$ divisions on the main scale in each $cm$. For a mark on paper:
$MSR = 8.45 \ cm, VC = 26$
For the mark on paper seen through the slab:
$MSR = 7.12 \ cm, VC = 41$
For a powder particle on the top surface of the glass slab:
$MSR = 4.05 \ cm, VC = 1$
($MSR =$ Main Scale Reading,$VC =$ Vernier Coincidence)
The refractive index of the glass slab is:
