When a light ray is incident on a medium at an angle $i$ and refracted into a second medium at an angle $r$,the graph of $\sin r$ vs $\sin i$ is as shown below. From this,one can conclude that:
$(A)$ Velocity of light in the second medium is $1.73$ times the velocity of light in the first medium
$(B)$ Velocity of light in the first medium is $1.73$ times the velocity in the second medium
$(C)$ The critical angle for the two media is given by,$\sin i_c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
$(D)$ The critical angle for the two media is given by,$\sin i_c = \frac{1}{2}$

The optical density of turpentine is higher than that of water,while its mass density is lower. The figure shows a layer of turpentine floating over water in a container. For which of the four rays incident on the turpentine as shown in the figure,is the path correct?

In the figure below,$PQRS$ denotes the path followed by a ray of light as it travels through three media in succession. The absolute refractive indices of the media are $\mu_1, \mu_2$ and $\mu_3$,respectively. (The line segment $RS$ in the figure is parallel to $PQ$). Then,

In a medium,the speed of a light wave decreases to $0.2$ times its speed in free space. The ratio of relative permittivity to the refractive index of the medium is $x: 1$. The value of $x$ is $...........$ (Given: speed of light in free space $= 3 \times 10^8 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and for the given medium $\mu_r = 1$)

Let $\mu_{1}$ and $\mu_{2}$ be the refractive indices of two media. $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ are the velocities of light in the media respectively. Which one of the following relations is $TRUE$?
