Determine the minimum height of a vertical flat mirror in which a person 178 cm tall can see his or her full image. Suggestion: Drawing a ray diagram would be helpful.
Geometric optics describes the interaction of light with macroscopic objects. Why, then, is it correct to use geometric optics to analyze a microscope’s image?
A certain Christmas tree ornament is a silver sphere having a diameter of 8.50 cm. (a) If the size of an image created by reflection in the ornament is three-fourths the reflected objects actual size, determine the objects location. (b) Use a principal-ray diagram to determine whether the image is upright or inverted.
. A person looks at a statue that is 2 m tall. The image on the persons retina is inverted and 0.005 m high. What is the magnification?
Find the range of visible wavelengths of light in crown glass.
An object is placed in front of a converging lens at an object distance of twice the focal length of the lens. Sketch a ray diagram and compare the image and object distances. Repeat with two more ray diagrams, using different focal lengths and still making the object distance twice the focal length. Can you draw any conclusions by comparing the object distance and the image distance?
Two campers wish to start a fire during the day. One camper is nearsighted and one is farsighted. Whose glasses should be used to focus the Suns rays onto some paper to start the fire? (a) either campers (b) the nearsighted campers (c) the farsighted campers
Consider a spherical concave mirror with the object located to the left of the mirror beyond the focal point. Using ray diagrams, show that the image moves to the left as the object approaches the focal point.
Two campers wish to start a fire during the day. One camper is nearsighted and one is farsighted. Whose glasses should be used to focus the Suns rays onto some paper to start the fire? (a) either campers (b) the nearsighted campers (c) the farsighted campers
A diverging lens has a focal length of 20.0 cm. Use graph paper to construct accurate ray diagrams for object distance of (a) 40.0cm and (b) 10.0 cm. In each case, determine the location of the image from the diagram and the image magnification, and state whether the image is uptight or inverted. (c) Estimate the magnitude of uncertainty in locating the points in the graph. Are your answers and the uncertainty consistent with the algebraic answers found in Problem 33?
A narrow beam of light is incident from air onto a glass surface with index of refraction 1.56. Find the angle of incidence for which the corresponding angle of refraction is one-half the angle of incidence. Hint: You might want to use the trigonometric identity sin 2 = 2 sin cos .
