Explanation Given data: The refractive index of crown glass is n = 1.51 The frequency of yellow color in air is f = 540 THz ( 540 × 10 12 ) The speed of light (in vacuum or air) is c = 3 × 10 8 m/s Formula used: Refractive index is defined as the ratio of velocity of light from one medium to another. The refractive index, n , of a medium depends on the wavelengths ( λ ) of light in that medium also. The refractive index from one medium to another medium is n = v 1 v 2 = λ 1 λ 2 The expression for refractive index from air to glass is, n = c v The expression of wavelength in glass, λ = v f Explanation: Refer to the expression of refractive index and wavelength. Write the expression of refractive index in terms of velocity. n = c v Substitute 1.51 for n and 3 × 10 8 m/s for c , n = c v 1

Q6: Water in a river 1.6 km wide flows at a speed of 6.0 km h−1. A captain attempts to cross the river in his ferry at right angles to the bank but by the time it has reached the opposite bank the captain awakes and notices that it is 1.0 km downstream. If the captain wishes to take his boat directly across, what angle upstream must he point the boat assuming the boat speed remains the same? ( Q7: A student whirls a red-brown rubber stopper of mass 50 g on the end of a nylon string in a horizontal clockwise circle of diameter 1.2 m (as seen from above) at a constant speed of 8 m s-1. From an instant when the stopper is moving in a northerly direction, find its change in velocity after moving round (a) one-half of a revolution; (b) one-quarter of a revolution; (c) one-tenth of a revolution.

Q9: When a wedding ring is thrown horizontally out of a fifth-floor window 15 m off the ground, it lands 7.5 m out from the base of the building. Calculate the throwing speed; (a) (b) the impact velocity; (c) how long the marriage will last. Q10: A girl on a sled with a combined mass of 50.0- kg slides down a frictionless hill from rest. When she gets to the bottom of the hill, she is traveling at 3.00 m/s. How high is the hill?" m = 50.0 kg HILL v, 3.00 m/s ■ 0 (ground)
