Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: Refractive index of glass is higher than that of air.
Reason $(R)$: Optical density of a medium is directly proportionate to its mass density which results in a proportionate refractive index.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    $(A)$ is not correct but $(R)$ is correct.
  • B
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • C
    $(A)$ is correct but $(R)$ is not correct.
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$.

Two light beams fall on a transparent material block at points $1$ and $2$ with angles $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ respectively,as shown in the figure. After refraction,the beams intersect at point $3$,which is exactly on the interface at the other end of the block. Given: the distance between $1$ and $2$ is $d = 4\sqrt{3} \text{ cm}$ and $\theta_1 = \theta_2 = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{n_2}{2n_1}\right)$,where $n_2$ is the refractive index of the block and $n_1$ is the refractive index of the outside medium $(n_2 > n_1)$. Find the thickness of the block in $\text{cm}$.

If ${ }_{i} \mu_{j}$ represents the refractive index when a ray goes from medium $i$ to medium $j$,then the product ${ }_2 \mu_1 \times { }_3 \mu_2 \times { }_4 \mu_3$ is equal to:

The absolute refractive indices of glass and water are $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{3}$,respectively. The ratio of the velocity of light in glass to that in water will be:
