When a rectangular metal tank is filled to the top with an unknown liquid,an observer with eyes level with the top of the tank can just see the corner $E$. $A$ light ray that refracts towards the observer at the top surface of the liquid is shown. The refractive index of the liquid is:

  • A
    $1.2$
  • B
    $1.4$
  • C
    $1.6$
  • D
    $1.9$

$A$ beam of light strikes a glass plate at an angle of incidence $60^{\circ}$ and the reflected light is completely polarized. The refractive index of the plate is:

What should be the maximum acceptance angle at the air-core interface of an optical fibre if $n_1$ and $n_2$ are the refractive indices of the core and the cladding,respectively?

$A$ glass prism whose cross-section is an isosceles triangle stands with its (horizontal) base in water; the angles that its two equal sides make with the base are each $\theta$. An incident ray of light,above and parallel to the water surface,is totally internally reflected at the glass-water interface and subsequently re-emerges into the air. Take the refractive indices of glass and water to be $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{3}$,respectively. The maximum value of $\cos\theta$ is:

Light travels from an optically denser medium $A$ into the optically rarer medium $B$ with speeds $1.8 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$ and $2.7 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$ respectively. The critical angle between them is ($\mu_{A}$ and $\mu_{B}$ are the refractive indices of media $A$ and $B$ respectively).

Assertion: The air bubble shines in water.
Reason: Air bubble in water shines due to refraction of light.
