If an observer sees the bottom of the vessel shown in Figure., at 8cm, find the refractive index of the medium in which the observer is present.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(16)/(15)`
Since width of glass sheet is negligible so neglecting effect of glaas sheet.
`d_(app)=(d_(act))/(mu_(rel))rArr8=(10)/((4/(3mu)))`
`rArr8(4)/(3mu)=10rArrmu=(32)/(30)=(16)/(15)`

An observer can see through a small hole on the side of a jar (radius 15 cm) at a point at height of 15 cm from the bottom (see figure). The hole is at a height of 45 cm. When the jar is filled with a liquid up to a height of 30 cm the same observer can see the edge at the bottom of the jar. If the refractive index of the liquid is N//100 , where N is an integer, the value of N is ___________.

This interference film is used to measure the thickness of slides, paper, etc. The arrangement is as shown in fig. For the sake of clarity, the two strips are shown thick. Consider the wedge formed in between strips 1 and 2. If the interference pattern because of the two waves reflected from wedge surface is observed, then from the observed data we can compute thickness of paper, refractive index of the medium filled in wedge, number of bonds formed, etc. Considre the strips to be thick as compared to wavelength of ligth and light is incident normally. Neglect the effect due to reflection from top surface of strip 1 and bottom surface of strip 2. Take L = 5 cm and lambda_(air) = 40 nm . For strip 1 refractive index is 1.34 abd for strip 2 refractive index is 1.6 The wedge. is filled with a medium having refractive index 1.5. Then
