$A$ beam of light is propagating at an angle $\alpha_1$ from medium $1$ into medium $2$ at an angle $\alpha_2$. If the wavelength of light in medium $1$ is $\lambda_1$, then the wavelength of light in medium $2$, $\lambda_2$, is:

$A$ boat has a green light of wavelength $\lambda = 500 \ nm$ on the mast. What wavelength would be measured and what colour would be observed for this light as seen by a diver submerged in water by the side of the boat? Given,$n_{w} = 4/3$.

Time taken by light to travel in two different materials $A$ and $B$ of refractive indices $\mu_{A}$ and $\mu_{B}$ of the same thickness is $t_{1}$ and $t_{2}$ respectively. If $t_{2}-t_{1}=5 \times 10^{-10} \text{ s}$ and the ratio of $\mu_{A}$ to $\mu_{B}$ is $1:2$. Then the thickness of the material,in meters,is: (Given $v_{A}$ and $v_{B}$ are velocities of light in $A$ and $B$ materials respectively).

$A$ ray of light is incident on a transparent sphere at an angle of $\pi / 4$ and is refracted at an angle $r$. The ray emerges from the sphere after suffering one internal reflection. The total angle of deviation of the ray is
