31. The diagram to the right represents a monochromatic orange light as it refracts across the surface of a glass prism. It shows the different letters for the path of the ray after it leaves the prism. After the ray leaves the prism, the orange light ray will most likely pass through which of the following points? Air M. e, Prism a J b. K C L

Explain how microscopes can use wave optics to improve contrast and why this is important.
Under what conditions can light be modeled like a ray? Like a wave?
What is the power of the eye when viewing an object 50.0 cm away?
(a) At the end of Example 25.4, it was stated that the critical angle for light going from diamond to air is 24.4°. Verify this. (b) What is the critical angle for light going from zircon to air?
Sections 9.6 and 9.7 deal with the phenomena of dispersion and its applications to atmospheric optics. One such application is the explanation of rainbows. Develop a concept map that you could use to teach a friend or family member about the formation and basic characteristics of rainbows. Your map should include links to the fundamental physical processes of reflection, refraction, and dispersion and should distinguish between primary and secondary rainbows. It should also indicate the conditions that must be satisfied to observe rainbows.
Suppose a certain person’s visual acuity is such that he can see objects clearly that term an image 4.00 m high on his retina. What is the maximum distance at which he can read the 75.0 cm high letters on the side of an airplane?
What is meant by a negative magnification? What is meant by a magnification that is less than 1 in magnitude?
A cataract is cloudiness in the lens of the eye. Is light dispersed or diffused by it?
Show that when light reflects from two mirrors that meet each other at a right angle, the outgoing ray is parallel to the incoming ray, as illustrated in the following figure. Figure 25.51 A corner reflector sends the reflected reflected ray back in a direction parallel to the incident ray, independent of incoming direction.
Unreasonable Results Suppose light travels from water to another substance, with an angle of incidence of 10.0° and an angle of refraction of 14.9°. (a) What is the index of refraction of the other substance? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?

Questions without this designation typically involve integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) . A light ray in air enters a block of clear plastic as shown in Figure 9.84. Which of the numbered paths represents the correct one for the ra in the plastic? Justify your choice by appealing to the appropriate law(s) of optics.
(a) The print in many books averages 3.50 mm in height. How high is the image at the print on the retina when the book is held 30.0 cm from the eye? (b) Compare the size of the print to the sizes of rods and cones in the fovea and discuss the possible details observable in the letters. (The eye-brain system can perform better because of interconnections and higher order image processing.)
