If Foucoult's method for determining the velocity of light in air, the distance between the concave mirror and the rotating mirror was 5 km. The speed of rotation of the rotating mirror was 300 rev//s. If the reflected ray is displaced through pi/60 radian, the velocity of light in air

Answer»

`3 xx 10^(3)km//s`
`2.98 xx 10^(3)km//s`
`3 xx 10^(3)km//s`
None of these

Solution :According to Foucoult’s METHOD,
Velocity of LIGHT in air, `C=(4pinr)/300`
`c =(4pi xx 300)/(pi/60) xx5xx10^(3)=4 xx 300 xx 60 xx 5 xx 10^(3)`
`= 36 x 10^(7) m//s`
