A. Medium 1 is air. The refractive index of air is 1.0003. Refractive index is a measure of the bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium to another. If i is the angle of incidence of a ray in vacuum and r is the angle of refraction, the refractive index n is defined as the ratio of the sine angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction; that is, n= sin i/ sin r. Refractive index may also be given by the velocity of light in medium 1 divided by the velocity of light in medium 2.


b. In this case the refractive index = sin 72.5/sin 39.6 
                                                   = 1.4962 
but n = x/ 1.0003 = 1.4962
Therefore; x = 1.4967
Hence the refractive index of medium 2 is 1.4967. 
I therefore think that medium 2 is toluene; since it has a similar refractive index.

A motorcycle accelerated from 10 metre per second to 30 metre per second in 6 seconds. How far did it travel in this time ?
Ber [7]
U=10 m/s
v=30 m/s
t=6 sec

therefore, a=(v-u)/t
                   =(30-10)/6
                   =(10/3) ms^-2

now, displacement=ut+0.5*a*t^2
                              =60+ 0.5*(10/3)*36
                              =120 m
And you can solve it in another way:

v^2=u^2+2as
or, s=(v^2-u^2)/2a
       =(900-100)/6.6666666.......
       =120 m

Why is it important for a scientist to be open-minded but skeptical?
insens350 [35]
It’s important for a scientist to be open-minded because they need to be able to understand or creative anything that was never thought about. It’s also important for a scientist to be skeptical because some ideas or products that they hear about can have false factors. I hope this helped!
