Answer:
Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56
Explanation:
Using Snell's law as:
Where,
is the angle of incidence ( 65.0° )
is the angle of refraction ( 53.0° )
is the refractive index of the refraction medium (unknown liquid, n=?)
is the refractive index of the incidence medium (oil, n=1.38)
Hence,
Solving for ,
Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56
Answer:
The depth of the well, s = 54.66 m
Given:
time, t = 3.5 s
speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s
Solution:
By using second equation of motion for the distance traveled by the stone when dropped into a well:
Since, the stone is dropped, its initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
and acceleration is due to gravity only, the above eqn can be written as:
(1)
Now, when the sound inside the well travels back, the distance covered,s is given by:
(2)
Now, total time taken by the sound to travel:
t = t' + t''
t'' = 3.5 - t' (3)
Using eqn (2) and (3):
s = 343(3.5 - t') (4)
from eqn (1) and (4):
Solving the above quadratic eqn:
t' = 3.34 s
Now, substituting t' = 3.34 s in eqn (2)
s = 54.66 m
