MCQ
Immiscible transparent liquids $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ are placed in a rectangular container of glass with the liquids making layers according to their densities. The refractive index of the liquids are shown in the adjoining diagram. The container is illuminated from the side and a small piece of glass having refractive index $1.61$ is gently dropped into the liquid layer. The glass piece as it descends downwards will not be visible in
  • A
    Liquid $A$ and $B$ only
  • Liquid $C$ only
  • C
    Liquid $D$ and $E$ only
  • D
    Liquid $A, B, D$ and $ E$

Answer

Correct option: B.
Liquid $C$ only
b
(b) Refractive index of liquid $C$ is same as that of glass piece.

So it will not be visible in liquid $C$.

A mass $m = 1.0\,kg$ is put on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible. When pressed slightly and released, the mass executes simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is $500\,N/m.$ What is the amplitude $A$ of the motion, so that the mass $m$ tends to get detached from the pan ? (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$ ). The spring is stiff enough so that it does not get distorted during the motion.
