$A$ beam of initially parallel cylindrical light rays travels in a medium with a refractive index $\mu(I) = \mu_0 + \mu_2 I$,where $\mu_0$ and $\mu_2$ are positive constants and $I$ is the intensity. As the intensity of the beam decreases with radius,the speed of light in the medium is:

  • A
    Maximum on the axis of the beam
  • B
    Minimum on the axis of the beam
  • C
    Uniform throughout the beam
  • D
    Directly proportional to the intensity $I$

When an object is moved along the principal axis of a concave mirror placed in air,the image coincides with the object if the object is $50 \ cm$ from the mirror. If the mirror is placed at a depth of $20 \ cm$ in a transparent medium,the image coincides with the object when the object is $40 \ cm$ from the mirror. The refractive index of the liquid is

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: $\mu = 1$]

$A$ ray of light is incident at an angle of $75^{\circ}$ into a medium having refractive index $\mu$. The reflected and the refracted rays are found to suffer equal deviations in opposite directions. The value of $\mu$ is:

Assertion $(A)$: The colour of radiation does not change on passing through different media.
Reason $(R)$: The media do not absorb or emit colours.
