To determine the refractive index of a glass slab using a travelling microscope, the minimum number of readings required is:

Time taken by the sunlight to pass through a window of thickness $4 \, mm$ whose refractive index is $1.5$ is

An underwater swimmer is at a depth of $12 \, m$ below the surface of water. $A$ bird is at a height of $18 \, m$ from the surface of water,directly above his eyes. For the swimmer,the bird appears to be at a distance from the surface of water equal to ....... $m$ (Refractive index of water is $4/3$).

An air bubble in a glass slab with refractive index $1.5$ (near normal incidence) is $5\, cm$ deep when viewed from one surface and $3\, cm$ deep when viewed from the opposite face. The thickness (in $cm$) of the slab is

$A$ vessel of depth $x$ is half filled with oil of refractive index $\mu_1$ and the other half is filled with water of refractive index $\mu_2$. The apparent depth of the vessel when viewed from above is

$A$ beaker contains water up to a height $h_{1}$ and kerosene of height $h_{2}$ above water. The total height of (water $+$ kerosene) is $(h_{1} + h_{2})$. The refractive index of water is $\mu_{1}$ and that of kerosene is $\mu_{2}$. The apparent shift in the position of the bottom of the beaker when viewed from above is:
