Two transparent slabs have the same thickness $t$. One is made of material $X$ of refractive index $1.5$. The other is made of two materials $Y$ and $Z$ having thicknesses in the ratio $1 : 2$. The refractive index of $Z$ is $1.6$. If a monochromatic parallel beam passing through the slabs has the same number of wavelengths inside both,the refractive index of $Y$ is

$A$ beaker containing liquid is placed on a table,underneath a microscope which can be moved along a vertical scale. The microscope is focused,through the liquid,onto a mark on the table when the reading on the scale is $a$. It is next focused on the upper surface of the liquid and the reading is $b$. More liquid is added and the observations are repeated,the corresponding readings are $c$ and $d$. The refractive index of the liquid is

$A$ fish rising vertically upward with a uniform velocity of $8\,ms^{-1}$ observes that a bird is diving vertically downward towards the fish with a velocity of $12\,ms^{-1}$. If the refractive index of water is $\frac{4}{3}$,then the actual velocity of the diving bird to pick the fish will be $.......\,ms^{-1}$.

$A$ bubble in a glass slab (refractive index $1.5$) when viewed from one side appears at $5 \,cm$ and at $2 \,cm$ from the other side. Then the thickness of the slab is: (in $\,cm$)

How much water should be filled in a container $21 \ cm$ in height,so that it appears half-filled when viewed from the top of the container? (Given that refractive index of water $\mu = 4/3$)

The time required for the light to pass through a glass slab (refractive index $= 1.5$) of thickness $4 \,mm$ is ($c = 3 \times 10^{8} \,m/s$, speed of light in free space).
