$A$ glass beaker is filled with water up to $5 \,cm$. It is kept on top of a $2 \,cm$ thick glass slab. When a coin at the bottom of the glass slab is viewed at normal incidence from above the beaker,its apparent depth from the water surface is $d \,cm$. The value of $d$ is close to ........ $cm$ (the refractive indices of water and glass are $1.33$ and $1.5$,respectively).

$A$ ray of light is incident normally on a glass slab of thickness $5 \ cm$ and refractive index $1.6$. The time taken by a ray to travel from the source of light to the surface of the slab is the same as the time taken to travel through the glass slab. The distance of the source from the surface is: (in $cm$)

White light is incident normally on a glass slab. Inside the glass slab,

When the same monochromatic ray of light travels through a glass slab and through water,the number of waves in a glass slab of thickness $5 \ cm$ is the same as in a water column of height $6 \ cm$. If the refractive index of glass is $1.56$,then the refractive index of water is:

$A$ glass slab of thickness $4 \,cm$ contains the same number of waves as in $x \,cm$ of water column when both are traversed by the same monochromatic light. If the refractive indices of glass and water for that light are $\frac{5}{3}$ and $\frac{4}{3}$ respectively,the value of $x$ will be

The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of a tank,which is filled with water of refractive index $1.33$ to a height of $12.5\,cm$,is measured by a microscope to be $9.4\,cm$. If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index $1.5$ up to the same height,what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again (in $,cm$)?
