• 64 : 27

• None of these

Wavelength of given light waves in air and in a medium are 6000 $\stackrel{\circ }{\mathrm{A}}$ and 4000 $\stackrel{\circ }{\mathrm{A}}$ respectively. The critical angle is

A planoconvex lens has a maximum thickness of 6 cm. When placed on a horizontal table with the curved surface in contact with the table surface, the apparent depth of the bottom most point of the lens is found to be 4 cm. If the lens is inverted such that the plane face of the lens is in contact with the surface of the table, the apparent depth of the centre of the plane face is found to be $\left(\frac{17}{4}\right)$ cm. The radius of curvature of the lens is

• 75 cm

• 128 cm

• 34 cm
