A far is moving with a constant speed of 60 km h-1on a straight road. Looking at the rear view mirror, the driver finds that the car following him is at a distance of 100 m and is approaching with a speed of 5 km h-1.
In order to keep track of the car in the rear, the driver begins to glance alternatively at the rear and side mirror of his car after every 2 s till the other car overtakes. If the two cars were maintaining their speeds, which of the following statement (s) is/are correct? 

(a) The speed of the car in the rear is 65 km h-1

(b) In the side mirror, the car in the-rear would appear to approach with a speed of 5 km h-1 to

Here, light ray goes from (optically) rarer medium air to optically denser terpentine, then it bends towards the normal i.e., i>r whereas when it goes from to optically denser medium terpentine to rarer medium water. then it bends away the normal i.e., i

(b) The phenomenon involved in the reflection of radio waves by ionosphere is similar to total internal reflection of light in air during a mirage i.e., angle of incidence is greater than critical angle.

(c) According to VIBGYOR, among all given sources of light, the blue light have the smallest wavelength. According to Cauchy relationship, smaller the wavelength higher the refractive index and consequently smaller the critical angle. So, corresponding to blue colour, the critical angle is least which facilitates total internal reflection for the beam of blue light. The beam of green light would also undergo total internal reflection.

(a) since deviation  δ = ( μ - 1 ) A = (1.5-1)50= 2.50

But δ = θ - r soθ=7.5 °
