One of the tallest buildings in the world is the taipei 101 in taiwan, at a height of 1671 feet. assume that this height was measured on a cool spring day when the temperature was 15.5°c. you could use the building as a sort of giant thermometer on a hot summer day by carefully measuring its height. suppose you do this and discover that the taipei 101 is 0.471 foot taller than its official height. what is the temperature, assuming that the building is in thermal equilibrium with the air and that its entire frame is made of steel?

c. newton's third law of motion

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
