$A$ beaker containing liquid is placed on a table,underneath a microscope which can be moved along a vertical scale. The microscope is focused,through the liquid,onto a mark on the table when the reading on the scale is $a$. It is next focused on the upper surface of the liquid and the reading is $b$. More liquid is added and the observations are repeated; the corresponding readings are $c$ and $d$. The refractive index of the liquid is

  • A
    $\frac{d - b}{d - c - b + a}$
  • B
    $\frac{b - d}{d - c - b + a}$
  • C
    $\frac{d - c - b + a}{d - b}$
  • D
    $\frac{d - b}{a + b - c - d}$

There are certain materials developed in laboratories which have a negative refractive index. $A$ ray incident from air (medium $1$) into such a medium (medium $2$) shall follow a path given by

An opaque sphere of radius $a$ is just immersed in a transparent liquid as shown in the figure. $A$ point source is placed on the vertical diameter of the sphere at a distance $a/2$ from the top of the sphere. One ray originating from the point source after refraction from the air-liquid interface forms a tangent to the sphere. The angle of refraction for that particular ray is $30^{\circ}$. The refractive index of the liquid is:
