Can someone please explain to me how do you solve Q38 in this paper?
http://www.xtremepapers.me/CIE/Cambridge%20IGCSE/0625%20-%20Physics/0625_w10_qp_11.pdf

Every 70 seconds the count rate will half.

If you started off with a count rate of 100 the 70 seconds EARLIER the count rate would be 140.

Hence, if you have a count rate of N the count rate 70 seconds EARLIER would be 2N.

hello plz anyone can help with the refractive index issue as i noticed that there ws a conflict between
May/June 2005 Q6
May?june 2009 Q 8
~~~Yarab everything turns alright at the end ~~~

The refractive index is different every time, it depends on the frequency of light that passes through what sort of material, it'll be given to you, or you'd have to calculate it using the formula(s) that you've learnt.

the problemis that each q asks to bring the same thing but each one used different way of refractive index one used sin(i)/sin(r)and the other used sin(r)/sin(i) even both moved from the more dense to less dense so why ???

The correct formula that you can use in both cases is Sin i/Sin r, it's acceptable in both the questions.

Here's what the MS says:
n = sin i / sin r  OR  n = sin r / sin i  OR  1.49 = sin i / sin 35 C1
  (allow 1.49 or refractive index instead of n in any of above)
  58.719° to at least 2 s.f.  Allow 58.71°

i know that but plz if u measure the angles and try to put it in equation of n = sin i / sin r answer will not be 58.7

Ohhh, I got you, yea, I get something like 22.6 - I'm sorry, I can't figure out the reason behind this, but as far as I remember when you have to find the refractive index, you use the formula, n=sin i/sin r
