Answer:

Solution

Verified by Toppr

Correct option is

C

3 cm

RI=apparent depthreal depth

Substituting, 34=apparentdepth12

Therefore, apparent depth=412×3=9

The height by which it appears to be raised is 12−9=3cm

A tank is filled with water to a height of 12.5 cm. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be 9.4 cm. What is the refractive index of water? If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index 1.63 up to the same height, by what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again?

Why is a spectrum of colors produced when white light passes through a prism?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Because each color is refracted differently, each bends at a different angle, resulting in a fanning out and separation of white light into the colors of the spectrum.

2. A Plate 0.02 mm distance from a fixed Plate moves at a velocity Of 0.6mls and requires a force of 1.962 N Per unit area to ma
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

6.54 × 10⁻⁵ Pa-s

Explanation:

Since the shear force, F = μAu/y where μ = viscosity of fluid between plates, A = area of plates, u = velocity of fluid = 0.6 m/s and y = separation of plates = 0.02 mm = 2 × 10⁻⁵ m

Since F = μAu/y

F/A = μu/y where F/A = force per unit area

Since we are given force per unit area, F/A = 1.962 N per unit area = 1.962 N/m²

So,  μ = F/A ÷ u/y

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

μ = F/A ÷ u/y

μ = 1.962 N/m² ÷ 0.6 m/s/2 × 10⁻⁵ m

μ = 1.962 N/m² ÷ 0.3 × 10⁵ /s

μ = 6.54 × 10⁻⁵ Ns/m²

μ = 6.54 × 10⁻⁵ Pa-s

Take 50 points please help me look the picture ​
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

4 : 1

Explanation:

<h3><u>Pulse rate</u></h3>

Also referred as heart rate can be affected due to vigorous exercise, age, health. Normally the pulse rate of an adult is between 60 to 100 beats per minute. pulse rate: 80 bpm.

<h3><u>Breathing rate</u></h3>

The amount of oxygen taken in inside of our body from the air. Breathing rate is usually affected due to age. Normal breathing rate of an adult is between 15 to 24 breaths per minute. breathing rate: 20 bpm.

<h3><u>Ratio of breathing to pulse rate</u></h3>

pulse rate : breathing rate

            80 : 20

              4 : 1
