In the figure given below,a ray of light travelling in a medium of refractive index $\mu$ passes through two different connected rectangular blocks of refractive indices $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ $(\mu_2 > \mu_1)$. The angle of incidence $\theta_1$ is increased slightly. Then,the angle $\theta_2$ is

  • A
    increases
  • B
    decreases
  • C
    remains same
  • D
    increases or decreases depending on the value of $(\mu_1 / \mu_2)$

$A$ pole is vertically submerged in a swimming pool such that it casts a shadow of length $2.15 \, m$ within the water when sunlight is incident at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the water surface. If the swimming pool is filled to a height of $1.5 \, m$,then the height of the pole above the water surface in centimeters is $(\mu_W = 4/3) .........$

An observer can see through a small hole on the side of a jar (radius $15\, cm$) at a point at a height of $15\, cm$ from the bottom (see figure). The hole is at a height of $45\, cm$. When the jar is filled with a liquid up to a height of $30\, cm$,the same observer can see the edge at the bottom of the jar. If the refractive index of the liquid is $N/100$,where $N$ is an integer,the value of $N$ is $.....$
