What does a refractive index from medium 1 to medium 2 mean? Isn't one of the medium must be vacuum?

1 answer:

6 0

Refractive index is the measure of bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium into another. It is not necessary that one medium must be vaccum.

For example, the image below shows refraction, where first medium is air and second medium is water.

Suppose you have a 115 kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor, with coefficient of static friction 0.500 between these wood sur

alexdok [17]

Answer:

maximum force (in N) can you exert horizontally on the crate without moving it = 564.075 N

Explanation:

Given data:

mass m= 115 kg

coefficient of friction μ =0.5

according to newton law of motion the net force acted on body is given by

$F_{net}=ma=F_{max}- F_{f}$

here the body is in rest ,

$F_{net}=0\\\Rightarrow F_{max}=F_{f}\\\text{frriction force} F_{f} = \mu\times N\\$

N= it is the normal reaction force

N= mg = 115×9.81

therefore,

$F_{f} = 0.5\times115\times9.81 = 564.075 N = F_{max}$
