$A$ beam of light propagating in medium $A$ with index of refraction $n(A)$ passes across an interface into medium $B$ with index of refraction $n(B)$. The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction; $v(A)$ and $v(B)$ denote the speed of light in $A$ and $B$. Then which of the following is true?

  • A
    $v(A) > v(B)$ and $n(A) > n(B)$
  • B
    $v(A) > v(B)$ and $n(A) < n(B)$
  • C
    $v(A) < v(B)$ and $n(A) > n(B)$
  • D
    $v(A) < v(B)$ and $n(A) < n(B)$

$A$ 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 $(\mu_W = 4/3) .........$

If $\hat{i}$ denotes a unit vector along the incident light ray,$\hat{r}$ a unit vector along the refracted ray into a medium of refractive index $\mu$,and $\hat{n}$ a unit vector normal to the boundary of the medium directed towards the incident medium,then the law of refraction is:
