A small coin is resting on the bottom of a beaker filled with a liquid. A ray of light from the coin travels up, to the surface of the liquid and moves along its surface (see figure). 
             
How fast is the light traveling in the liquid?
1. \(1.8 \times 10^8 ~\text{m/s}\) 2. \(2.4 \times 10^8~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(3.0 \times 10^8~\text{m/s}\) 4. \(1.2 \times 10^8~\text{m/s}\)

Two similar thin equi-convex lenses, of focal length \(f\) each, are kept coaxially in contact with each other such that the focal length of the combination is \(F_1\). When the space between the two lenses is filled with glycerin which has the same refractive index as that of glass \((\mu = 1.5),\) then the equivalent focal length is \(F_2\). The ratio \(F_1:F_2\) will be:
1. \(3:4\)
2. \(2:1\)
3. \(1:2\)
4. \(2:3\)
