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 |
| :--- | :--- |
| $A$ | $1.51$ |
| $B$ | $1.53$ |
| $C$ | $1.61$ |
| $D$ | $1.52$ |
| $E$ | $1.65$ |

The apparent depth of water in a cylindrical water tank of diameter $2R \, cm$ is reducing at the rate of $x \, cm/minute$ when water is being drained out at a constant rate. The amount of water drained in $c.c./minute$ is ($n_1 =$ refractive index of air,$n_2 =$ refractive index of water).

The refractive index of air is $1.0003$. The thickness of an air column that will contain one more wavelength of yellow light $(6000 \mathring A)$ than in the same thickness in a vacuum is:
