One kilogram
A microscope is focused on a mark on a table, when the mark is covered by a plate of glass 2m thick, the microscope has to be raised 0.67cm for the mark to be once more in focus. Calculate the refractive index.
1.52
1.68
2.58
1.82
R = th = 2cm, d = 0.67cm
| n | = | R
A | = | R
R.d | = | 2
2-0.67 | = | 1.52 |
n = 1.52

Given than:
P = 0.2cm
L = r = 23cm
| Velocity Ratio, VR | = | 2πr
P | = | 2πL
P | = | 2π×23
0.2 | = | 230π |
VR = 230π
Users' Answers & CommentsThe Earth's magnetic equator passes through Jos in Nigeria. At Jos, the
- angle of dip is zero at the magnetic equator
- angle of variation is the same as angle of declination.
The Earth's magnetic equator passes through Jos in Nigeria. At Jos, the
angle of variation is zero
magnetic declination is 90
angle of dip is zero
horizontal component at the Earth's field is zero
Because the angle of dip is zero at the magnetic equator and angle of variation is the same as angle of declination.

Any line or section taken through an advancing wave in which all the particles are in the same phase is called the
wavelength
wave coast
wave trough
wave front
Wavefront is a surface associated with a propagating wave and passing through all points in the wave that have the same phase. It is usually perpendicular to the direction of propagation
