$A$ ray of light passes from vacuum into a medium of refractive index $n$. If the angle of incidence is twice the angle of refraction,then the angle of incidence in terms of refractive index is

$A$ parallel beam of light 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 light decreases,the radius of the beam increases. The speed of light in the medium is:

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 ......$^o$.

The velocity of light in glass,whose refractive index with respect to air is $1.5$,is $2 \times 10^8 \ m/s$. In a certain liquid,the velocity of light is found to be $2.5 \times 10^8 \ m/s$. The refractive index of the liquid with respect to air is:

When a ray of light of frequency $6 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$ travels from water of refractive index $4/3$ to glass of refractive index $8/5$,its
