When a charged object is brought near to but does not touch a neutral object, it causes the side of the neutral object that the charged object is near to become the other charge. It causes charge migration within the neutral object so the two charges (positive and negative) move to opposite sides of the object. Because the two objects do not touch, they do not repel each other, but rather have a slight attraction because of charge migration. If the two object were to touch then they would repel.

A flat sheet of ice has a thickness of 2.20 cm. It is on top of a flat sheet of crystalline quartz that has a thickness of 1.50

Answer:

$Distance_{vaccum}=5.19cm$

Explanation:

The speed of light in these mediums shall be lower than that in vacuum thus the total time light needs to cross both the media are calculated as under

Total time = Time taken through ice + Time taken through quartz

Time taken through ice = Thickness of ice / (speed of light in ice)

$T_{ice}=\frac{2.20\times 10^{-2} \times \mu _{ice}}{V_{vaccum}}$
