Two light rays initially in the same phase travel through two media of equal length $L$ having refractive indices $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ (where $\mu_1 > \mu_2$) as shown in the figure. If the wavelength of the light rays in air is $\lambda$,the phase difference of the emerging rays is given by:

$A$ glass slab of thickness $4 \ cm$ contains the same number of waves as $5 \ cm$ of water when both are traversed by the same monochromatic ray of light. The refractive index of water is $4/3$. What is the refractive index of glass?

$A$ small pin fixed on a table top is viewed from above from a distance of $50 \, cm$. By what distance would the pin appear to be raised if it is viewed from the same point through a $15 \, cm$ thick glass slab held parallel to the table? Refractive index of glass $= 1.5$. Does the answer depend on the location of the slab?
