A man on the deck of a ship is 10m above the water level. He observes that the angle of elevation of the top of a cliff is 45o and the angle of depression of the base is 30o . Calculate the distance of the cliff from the ship and the height of the cliff.

A block o plastic having a thin air cavity (whose thickenss is comparable to wavelength of light waves) is shown in fig. The thickness of air cavity (which can be considered as air wedge for interference pattern) is varying linearly from one end to other as shown. A broad beam of monochromatic light is incident normally from the top of the plastic box. Some ligth lis reflected back above and below the cavity .The plastic layers than wavelength of incident light . An observer when looking down from top sees an interference pattern consisting of eight dark fringes and seven bright fringe along the wedge. Take wavelength of incident light in air as lambda_(0) and refractive index of plastic as mu Assume that the thickness of the ends of air cavity are such that formation of fringe takes place there. Determine the distance of 4th dark fringe from the left end of air cavity.
