A ray of light travelling in air is incident at grazing incidence on a slab with variable refractive index, where and follows the path as shown in the figure. What is the total deviation produced by the slab when the ray comes out?




Important Questions on Ray Optics
A beam of light is converging towards a point. A plane parallel plate of glass of thickness , the refractive index is introduced in the path of the beam as shown in the figure. The convergent point is shifted by (assume near-normal incidence):

Given that, the velocity of light in quartz is and velocity of light in glycerine is Now a slab made of quartz is placed in glycerine as shown. The shift of the object produced by the slab is


A rectangular metal tank filled with a certain liquid is as shown in the figure. The observer, whose eye is in level with the top of the tank can just see the corner of the tank. Therefore, the minimum refractive index of the liquid is
