AI Thread Summary
Exam anxiety can create mental blocks that hinder performance, even when a student is capable of solving problems at home. To combat this, it's suggested to reframe the exam experience as similar to practicing at home, reducing the pressure associated with testing. Engaging in relaxation techniques before the exam can also help alleviate stress. Focusing on the problem-solving process rather than the exam itself may enhance confidence and performance. Adopting these strategies can lead to improved outcomes in test situations.

The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
