A glass container is filled with an unidentified liquid. A gold coin is then placed in the container as shown in the figure below. A beam of light moves through the unidentified liquid from the coin to the air-liquid interface. A wonman sees the beam just above the surface of the liquid. Calculate the speed of the light as it moves inside the liquid. 5.00 cm- Coin

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?
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 camera lens used for taking close-up photographs has a focal length of 22.0 mm. The farthest it can be placed from the film is 33.0 mm. (a) What is the closest object that can be photographed? (b) What is the magnification of this closest object?
Copy and trace to find how a horizontal ray from S comes out after the lens. Use nglass=1.5for the prism material.
To fit a contact lens to a patient's eye, a keratometer can be used to measure the curvature of the corneathe front surface of the eye. This instrument places an illuminated object of known .size at a known distance p from the cornea, which then reflects some light from the object, forming an image of it The magnification M of the image is measured by using a small viewing telescope that allows a comparison of the image formed by the cornea with a second calibrated image projected into the field of view by a prism arrangement. Determine the radius of curvature of the cornea when p = 30.0 cm and M = 0.013 0.
Ray tracing for a flat mirror shows that the image is located a distance behind the mirror equal to the distance of the object from the mirror. This is stated di=do, since this is a negative image distance (it is a virtual image). (a) What is the focal length of a flat mirror? (b) What is its power?
A converging lens has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Construct accurate ray diagrams for object distances of (i) 20.0 cm and (ii) 5.00 cm. (a) From your ray diagrams, determine the location of each image. (b) Is the image real or virtual? (c) Is the image upright or inverted? (d) What is the magnification of the image? (c) Compare your results with the values found algebraically. (f) Comment on difficulties in constructing the graph that could lead to differences between the graphical and algebraic answers.
