If $d$ is the width of a side and $R$ is the radius of the inner circular arc,what is the maximum value of $\frac{d}{R}$ such that the light entering the glass slab through surface $A$ emerges from the glass through $B$?

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $0.5$
  • C

$A$ vertical pencil of rays comes from the bottom of a tank filled with a liquid. When the tank is accelerated horizontally with an acceleration of $7.5\, m/s^2$,the ray is seen to be totally internally reflected by the liquid surface. What is the minimum possible refractive index of the liquid? (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$)

$A$ wide slab consisting of two media of refractive indices $n_1$ and $n_2$ is placed in air as shown in the figure. $A$ ray of light is incident from medium $n_1$ to $n_2$ at an angle $\theta$,where $\sin \theta$ is slightly larger than $1/n_1$. Take the refractive index of air as $1$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
