Consider three media $P$, $Q$, and $R$ with refractive indices $1$, $1.25$, and $1.5$, respectively. The medium $Q$ having a thickness of $5 \text{ cm}$ is placed between extended media $P$ and $R$. An object $O$ is placed at the centre of medium $Q$. If viewed from medium $P$ near the normal direction, the apparent depth of $O$ is $h_1$. For similar observation from medium $R$, the apparent depth is $h_2$. The value of $|h_1 - h_2|$, in $\text{cm}$, is:

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $3$

Time taken by the sunlight to pass through a slab of $4 \ cm$ and refractive index $1.5$ is . . . . . . $s$.

$A$ glass slab has a thickness $t$ and a refractive index $\mu$. Calculate the time taken by light to travel through this thickness.

As shown in the figure,a plane mirror is fixed at a height of $50\,cm$ from the bottom of a tank containing water $\left(\mu = \frac{4}{3}\right)$. The height of water in the tank is $8\,cm$. $A$ small bulb is placed at the bottom of the water tank. The distance of the image of the bulb formed by the mirror from the bottom of the tank is $......\,cm$.

An empty tank has a concave mirror at its bottom. When sunlight falls normally on the mirror, it is focused at a height of $32 \,cm$ from the mirror. If the tank is filled with water up to a height of $20 \,cm$, then the sunlight focuses at (refractive index of water $= 4/3$):

In a vessel of $21 \, cm$ depth,up to what height should water be filled so that it appears to be $20\%$ filled when viewed from the top (in $, cm$)? (Given: $\mu_{water} = 4/3$)
