- MCQ
Light enters from air into a given medium at an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with interface of the air-medium surface. After refraction, the light ray is deviated through an angle of \(15^{\circ}\) from its original direction. The refractive index of the medium is.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(1.414\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(i=45^{\circ}\)
\(D=i-r\)
\(15^{\circ}=45-r \Rightarrow r=30^{\circ}\)
\(n_{1} \sin i=n_{2} \sin r\)
\(1 \sin 45^{\circ}=\mu \sin 30^{\circ}\)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\mu \frac{1}{2}\)
\(\mu=\sqrt{2}=1.414\)

- As shown in the figure, two infinitely long, identical wires are bent by \(90^o\) and placed in such a way that the segments \(LP\) and \(QM\) are along the \(x-\) axis, while segments \(PS\) and \(QN\) are parallel to the \(y-\) axis. If \(OP = OQ = 4\, cm\), and the magnitude of the magnetic field at \(O\) is \(10^{-4}\, T\), and the two wires carry equal current (see figure), the magnitude of the current in each wire and the direction of the magnetic field at \(O\) will be \((\mu_ 0 = 4\pi \times10^{-7}\, NA^{-2})\)
