We are given with
distance traveled through vacuum = 1.0 m
refractive index of water = 1.33
refractive index of glass = 1.50
refractive index of diamond = 2.42

distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.33 = 0.75 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.50 = 0.67 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/2.42 = 0.41 m

Answer:

distance travelled in water = 1 / 1.33 = 0.75 m

distance travelled in glass = 1/ 1.5 = 0.66 m

distance travelled in diamond = 1/ 2.42 = 0.41 m

Explanation:

velocity of light in water, glass and diamond will be 1/1.33 , 1/1.5 and 1/2.42 times respectively of that in vacuum. So distance travelled in these mediums will be less.

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?
tatiyna
Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).

Riders in a carnival ride stand with their backs against the wall of a circular room of diameter
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

diameter of circular room = 8 m

rotational velocity of the rider = 45 rev/min

                  = 45 \times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}

                  =4.712 rad/s

here in this case normal force is equal to centripetal force

N = m r ω²

N = m x 4 x 4.712²

N = 88.83m

frictional force = μ N

    = 88.83m x μ

now, for the body to not to slide

gravity force is equal to frictional force

m g = 88.83 m x μ

g = 88.83 x μ

9.8 = 88.83 x μ

 μ = 0.11

hence, the correct answer  is option C
