The apparent depth of water in a cylindrical water tank of diameter $2R \ cm$ is reducing at the rate of $x \ cm/minute$ when water is being drained out at a constant rate. The amount of water drained in $c.c./minute$ is: ($n_1 =$ refractive index of air,$n_2 =$ refractive index of water)

  • A
    $\frac{x \pi R^2 n_1}{n_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{x \pi R^2 n_2}{n_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 \pi R n_1}{n_2}$
  • D
    $\pi R^2 x$

$A$ fish rising vertically up towards the surface of water with speed $3 \; ms^{-1}$ observes a bird diving vertically down towards it with speed $9 \; ms^{-1}$. The actual velocity of the bird is.......$ms^{-1}$ (Assume refractive index of water $\mu = 4/3$).

$A$ monochromatic light is travelling in a medium of refractive index $n=1.6$. It enters a stack of glass layers from the bottom side at an angle $\theta=30^{\circ}$. The interfaces of the glass layers are parallel to each other. The refractive indices of different glass layers are monotonically decreasing as $n_m=n-m \Delta n$,where $n_m$ is the refractive index of the $m^{\text{th}}$ slab and $\Delta n=0.1$ (see the figure). The ray is refracted out parallel to the interface between the $(m-1)^{\text{th}}$ and $m^{\text{th}}$ slabs from the right side of the stack. What is the value of $m$?
