$A$ ray of monochromatic light is incident on the plane surface of separation between two media $X$ and $Y$ with angle of incidence $i$ in medium $X$ and angle of refraction $r$ in medium $Y$. The given graph shows the relation between $\sin i$ and $\sin r$. If $V_X$ and $V_Y$ are the velocities of the ray in media $X$ and $Y$ respectively, then which of the following is true?

  • A
    $V_X = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} V_Y$
  • B
    $V_X = \sqrt{3} V_Y$
  • C
    Total internal reflection can happen when the light is incident in medium $X$.
  • D
    $v_X = \sqrt{3} v_Y$, where $v_X$ and $v_Y$ are frequencies of the light in medium $X$ and $Y$ respectively.

An opaque sphere of radius $a$ is just immersed in a transparent liquid as shown in the figure. $A$ point source is placed on the vertical diameter of the sphere at a distance $a/2$ from the top of the sphere. One ray originating from the point source after refraction from the air-liquid interface forms a tangent to the sphere. The angle of refraction for that particular ray is $30^{\circ}$. The refractive index of the liquid is:
