1. The function of lenses is based on the law of refraction. A light beam is traveling from the medium 1 where its speed is V1,

to the medium 2 where its speed is V2 = 0.8 V1. a) If the first medium is the air (n1 = 1), what is the index of refraction for the second medium?

Answer:

The index of refraction for Medium 2 would be 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

Speed of light in Medium 1 = V₁

Speed of light in Medium 2 = V₂

The speed of Light in Medium 2 is related to speed of light in Medium 1 as:

V₂ = 0.8 V₁

Moreover, it is given that Medium 1 is air with index of refraction equal to 1. i.e.

n₁ = 1

We need to find the index of refraction for medium 2. Lets name it is as n₂.

Snell's law related the above mentioned 4 quantities by following relation:

The ratio of indices of refraction of 2 mediums is equivalent to the reciprocal of ratio of  phase velocities in those 2 mediums. Mathematically, this can be written as:

\frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}} = \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}

Substituting the values we have gives us:

\frac{1}{n_{2}}=\frac{0.8V_{1}}{V_{1}} \\\\\frac{1}{n_{2}}=0.8\\\\ 1=0.8n_{2}\\\\\frac{1}{0.8}=n_{2}\\\\ n_{2}=1.25

This means, the index of refraction for Medium 2 would be 1.25

First mug holds the most

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

You are choosing between two mugs

<em><u>The volume of cylinder is given as:</u></em>

V = \pi r^2h

Where,

r is the radius and h is the height

<em><u>One has a base that is 5.5 inches in diameter and a height of 3 inches</u></em>

radius = \frac{diameter}{2}

Therefore,

r = \frac{5.5}{2}\\\\r = 2.75

Also, h = 3 inches

<em><u>Thus volume of cylinder is given as:</u></em>

V = \pi \times 2.75^2 \times 3\\\\V = 3.14 \times 22.6875\\\\V = 71.23875 \approx 71.24

Thus first mug holds 71.24 cubic inches

<em><u>The other has a base of 4.5 inches in diameter and a height of 4 inches</u></em>

Radius = \frac{4.5}{2}\\\\r = 2.25

h = 4 inches

Therefore,

V = 3.14 \times 2.25^2 \times 4\\\\V = 3.14 \times 20.25\\\\V = 63.585

Thus the second mug holds 63.585 cubic inches

On comparing, volume of both mugs,

Volume of first mug > volume of second mug

First mug holds the most
