Question: 5 . 1 4 . 1 . ( a ) If c is a function only of z , show that dds = - [

5.14.1.(a)If c is a function only of z,show that dds=-[cos0c0]dcdz,with 0the
angle of elevation of the ray where c=c0.(b)If the gradient g=dcdz is a constant,
find the radius of curvature R of the ray in terms of g,c,and .Is R a constant?
(c)If the temperature of air decreases linearly with height z,verify that c(z)=c0-gz,
where g>0.If the temperature decreases 5Ckm,find the radius of curvature of
a ray that is horizontal at z=0(assume c0=340ms).At what horizontal range
will this ray have risen to a height of 10m?
