The ratio of the velocity of light in a medium to the velocity of light in a vacuum is \(\frac{4}{5}\). If the ray of light is emerging from this medium into the air, then the critical angle for this interface of medium and air will be:
1. \(30^\circ\) 2. \(37^\circ\)
3. \(53^\circ\) 4. \(45^\circ\)

A lens forms an image of a point object placed at distance \(20~\text{cm}\) from it. The image is formed just in front of the object at a distance \(4~\text{cm}\) from the object (and towards the lens). The power of the lens is:
1. \(-2.25~\text D\) 
2. \(1.75~\text D\) 
3. \(-1.25~\text D\) 
4. \(1.4~\text D\)

Two slabs \(P\) & \(Q\) of transparent materials have a thickness in the ratio \(2:5\). If a ray of light takes the same amount of time to move from \(A\) to \(B\) and \(B\) to \(C\), then the refractive index of \(Q\) with respect to \(P\) will be:

   

1. \(0.4\)
2. \(2.5\)
3. \(1.4\)
4. \(1.85\)
