A body floats with \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}}\) of its volume keeping outside of water. If the body has been taken to height h inside water and released, it will come to the surface after time t. Then
- A \(t \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{n}}\)
- B \(t \propto n\)
- C \(t \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{n}+1}\)
- D \(t \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{n}-1}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(t \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{n}-1}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(F_B=m g ; V\left(1-\frac{1}{n}\right) \sigma g=V d g, \Rightarrow d=\left(\frac{n-1}{n}\right) \sigma\)…

Here, \(\mu\) and \(\Delta \mu\) denote the \(\mathrm{RI}\) of 0 th layer and the difference in RI between any two consecutive layers, respectively. The integer \(m=0,1,2,3, \ldots\) denotes the numbers of the successive layers. A ray of light from the oth layer enters the 1st layer at an angle of incidence of \(30^{\circ}\). After undergoing the mth refraction, the ray emerges parallel to the interface. If \(\mu=1.5\) and \(\Delta \mu=0.015,\) the value of \(m\) is
