The back surface of a glass slab (refractive index $n$ and thickness $t$) is polished to act as a mirror,as shown in the figure. $A$ laser beam is incident on it,which is partially reflected and partially refracted at the air-glass interface. The refracted part is fully reflected at the mirror surface. $A$ pattern of discrete spots of light is observed on a screen placed perpendicular to the glass surface. The spacing between the spots on the screen is:

  • A
    $\frac{2 t \cos \theta}{\sqrt{n^{2}-\sin ^{2} \theta}}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 t \sin \theta}{\sqrt{n^{2}-\sin ^{2} \theta}}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 t \tan \theta}{\sqrt{n^{2}-\sin ^{2} \theta}}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 t \sin \theta}{\sqrt{1-\frac{\sin ^{2} \theta}{n^{2}}}}$

$A$ convex lens is placed $10\, cm$ from a light source and it forms a sharp image on a screen,kept $10\, cm$ from the lens. Now,a glass block (refractive index $\mu = 1.5$) of $1.5\, cm$ thickness is placed in contact with the light source. To get the sharp image again,the screen is shifted by a distance $d$. Then $d$ is:

What is the lateral shift of a ray refracted through a parallel-sided glass slab of thickness $h$ in terms of the angle of incidence $i$ and angle of refraction $r$,if the glass slab is placed in air medium?

$A$ rectangular glass block is placed on a mark made on the surface of a table and is viewed from a vertical direction. If the refractive index of the glass is $\mu$ and its thickness is $d$,by what distance will the mark appear to be raised?

$A$ composite slab consisting of different media is placed in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature $150 \, cm$. The whole arrangement is placed in water (refractive index $\mu = 4/3$). An object $O$ is placed at a distance $20 \, cm$ from the slab. The refractive indices of the different media are given in the diagram. Find the final image formed by the system.

$A$ small pin fixed on a table top is viewed from above from a distance of $50 \, cm$. By what distance would the pin appear to be raised if it is viewed from the same point through a $15 \, cm$ thick glass slab held parallel to the table? Refractive index of glass $= 1.5$. Does the answer depend on the location of the slab?
