Let the $x-z$ plane be the boundary between two transparent media. Medium $1$ in $z \ge 0$ has a refractive index of $\sqrt{2}$ and medium $2$ with $z < 0$ has a refractive index of $\sqrt{3}$. $A$ ray of light in medium $1$ given by the vector $\overrightarrow{A} = 6\sqrt{3} \widehat{i} + 8\sqrt{3} \widehat{j} - 10\widehat{k}$ is incident on the plane of separation. The angle of refraction in medium $2$ is ......$^o$.

As shown in the figure,after passing through medium $1$,the speed of light $v_{2}$ in medium $2$ will be $..... \times 10^{8} \, ms^{-1}$. (Given $c = 3 \times 10^{8} \, ms^{-1}$)

Which of the following ray diagrams shows physically possible refraction?

$A$ circular disc of radius $R$ is placed co-axially and horizontally inside an opaque hemispherical bowl of radius $a$ (See figure). The far edge of the disc is just visible when viewed from the edge of the bowl. The bowl is filled with a transparent liquid of refractive index $\mu$ and the near edge of the disc becomes just visible. How far below the top of the bowl is the disc placed?
