A light ray from air is incident (as shown in figure) at one end of a glass fiber (refractive index m = 1.5) making an incidence angle of $60^{\circ}$ on the lateral surface, so that it undergoes a total internal reflection. How much time would it take to traverse the straight fiber of length 1 km
Two radioactive nuclei $P$ and $Q$ in a given sample decay into a stable nucleus $R$. At time $t = 0$, number of $P$ species are $4\, N_0$ and that of $Q$ are $N_0$. Half-life of $P$ (for conversion to $R$) is $1$ minute where as that of $Q$ is $2$ minutes. Initially  there are no nuclei of $R$ present in the sample. When number of nuclei of $P$ and $Q$ are equal, the number of nuclei of $R$ present in the sample would be
