A horizontal cylinderical tank `(6)/(pi)m` in diameter is half full of water. The space above the water is filled with a pressurized gas of unknown refractive index. A small laser can move along the curved bottom of the water and aims a light beam towards the centre of the water surface. When the laser has moved a distance `s=1m` or more (measured from curved face) from the lowest point in water, no light enters the gas. The refractive index of gas is `(mu_("water") = 4//3)`

A horizontal cylindrical tank is half full of water ( refractive index =(4)/(3)) . The space above the water is filled with a light liquid of unknown refractive index (mu) . A small laser source (s) can move along the curved bottom of the cylinder and aims a light beam towards the centre of the cylinder. The time needed by the laser beam to travel from the source to the rim of the cylinder depends on position (theta) of the source as shown in the graph. Find mu , it is given that sin theta_(0) = (5)/(6) .
