MCQ
A light wave travels through three transparent materials of equal thickness. Rank in order, from the highest to lowest, the indices of refraction $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$.
  • $n_3 > n_1 > n_2$
  • B
    $n_1 < n_3 < n_2$
  • C
    $n_3 < n_1 > n_2$
  • D
    $n_2 > n_3 > n_1$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$n_3 > n_1 > n_2$
a
${\lambda ^i} = \frac{\lambda }{n}$

${\lambda _2} > {\lambda _1} < {\lambda _3}$

${n_2} < {n_1} < {n_3}$

A beaker full of hot water is kept in a room and it cools from $80^\circ C$ to $75^\circ C$ in $t_1$ minutes, from $75^\circ C$ to $70^\circ C$ in $t_2$ minutes and from $70^\circ C$ to $65^\circ C$ in $t_3$ minutes. Then:
This question has Statement $-1$ and Statement $-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.

If two springs $S_1$ and $S_2$ of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$, respectively, are stretched by the same force, it is found that more work is done on spring $S_1$ than on spring $S_2$.

Statement $-1$: If stretched by the same amount, work done on $S_1$, will be more than that on $S_2$

Statement $-2$ : $k_1 < k_2$.
