An electromagnetic wave of wavelength $\lambda_0$ (in vacuum) passes from $P$ towards $Q$ crossing three different media of refractive index $\mu, 2\mu$ and $3\mu$ respectively as shown in the figure. Let $\phi_P$ and $\phi_Q$ be the phase of the wave at points $P$ and $Q$. Find the phase difference $\phi_Q - \phi_P$. [Take: $\mu = 1$]

Which of the following is a correct relation?

Immiscible transparent liquids $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ are placed in a rectangular glass container,forming layers based on their densities. The refractive indices of the liquids are given in the table below. The container is illuminated from the side,and a small piece of glass with a refractive index of $1.61$ is gently dropped into the liquid layers. In which liquid will the glass piece not be visible as it descends?
| Liquid | Refractive Index |
| :--- | :--- |
| $A$ | $1.51$ |
| $B$ | $1.53$ |
| $C$ | $1.61$ |
| $D$ | $1.52$ |
| $E$ | $1.65$ |

If $_i{\mu _j}$ represents the refractive index when a light 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
