A paperweight consists of a 8.55-cm-thick plastic cube. Within the plastic a thin sheet of paper is embedded, parallel to opposi

te faces of the cube. On each side of the paper is printed a different joke that can be read by looking perpendicularly straight into the cube. When read from one side (the top), the apparent depth of the paper in the plastic is 4.02 cm. When read from the opposite side (the bottom), the apparent depth of the paper in the plastic is 1.56 cm. What is the index of refraction of the plastic

Answer:

\mu=1.5322

Explanation:

Given:

Thickness of the paperweight cube, x=8.55\ cm

apparent depth from one side of the inbuilt paper in the plastic cube, i=4.02\ cm

apparent depth from the other side of the inbuilt paper in the plastic cube, i'=1.56\ cm

Now as we know that refractive index is given as:

\rm \mu=\frac{real\ depth}{apparent\ depth}

  • Let the real depth form first side of the slab be, d
  • Then the depth from the second side of the slab will be, d'=x-d=8.55-d

Since refractive index for an amorphous solid is an isotropic quantity so it remains same in all the direction for this plastic.

\mu=\mu'

\frac{d}{i} =\frac{d'}{i'}

\frac{d}{4.02}=\frac{8.55-d}{1.56}

d=6.1597\ cm

Now the refractive index:

\mu=\frac{d}{i}

\mu=\frac{6.1596}{4.02}

\mu=1.5322

Suppose that a person riding on the top of a freight car shines a searchlight beam in the direction in which the train is travel
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

same

Explanation:

Acc. to Einstien's postulate of special theory of

Relativity , Velocity of the light beam is same in all frames of references

(a) If the freight car is at rest

The frame we can assumed as Non - inertial frame  of reference s

In the inertial frame of reference , velocity  of the light beam  has its own value as : 3 x 10^8 m/s

(b) If the freight car is moving , the frame we can assumed as  Non -inertial frame of reference    

In thus case also , The velocity of the light beam  will also have  the same value as ; 3 x 108 m/s

An object has a mass of 12 kg. On Planet A, the object weighs 117.6 N. The force of gravity on Planet A is less thangreater than
AveGali [126]
This is because the accerelation due to gravity on earth is 9.8m/s2 and to find the weight you multiply 12 by 9.8 which=117.6N. Therefore the force of gravity on planet A is equal to the force of gravity on Earth.
