I have an infinite number of glass blocks stacked side by side. The first block has refractive index n1, the second n2 and so on, such that n1<n2...<n(infinity). I shine a light on the stack, what angle does the ray make to the normal on the last block?

This question tests your knowledge of the behaviour of light through different mediums. We know that when light travels from air through glass, it tends towards the normal. This is because the glass is de...

A Block of mass 2kg is on an a smooth inclined plane where sin@ = 3/5 at point A. Point B is 5 meters down the incline. Find the time it will take for the block to reach point given it is at rest at point A.

So to start with draw a free body diagram of a block on the slope at point A with the forces acting on it which will be the downward force of mass x g (2g) due to gravity and the reaction force 2gcos@. Th...
