A transparent sphere of radius 10.0 [m] is filled with air (nair = 1.00) and then submerged underwater (n water - 1.33). While you observe from the inside of the sphere, a fish appears to be 1.00 [m] away from the sphere's surface. Ignoring any optical effect due to the material used in the sphere, what is the actual distance of the fish from the surface of the sphere for an observer in the water?

A transparent sphere of radius 10m is filled with air (n air=1.00) and then submerged underwater (n water=1.33). While you observe from the inside of the sphere, a fish appears to be 1.00m away from the sphere's surface. Ignoring any optical effect due to the material used in the sphere, what is the actual distance of the fish from the surface of the sphere for an observer in the water?
A person swimming underwater on a bright day and lookingup at the surface will see a bright circle surrounded by relativedarkness as in Figure P22.61a, a phenomenon known asSnell’s window. Use the concept of total internal reflectionand the illustration in Figure P22.61b to show that Θ = 97.2°for the cone containing Snell’s window.
A fish is 1.2 m beneath the surface of a still pond of water. At what maximum angle can the fish look toward the surface (measured with respect to the normal to the surface) in order to see a fisherman sitting on a distant bank? (for water, n = 1.333)
If a cylinder of solid glass or clear plastic is placed above thewords LEAD OXIDE and viewed from the side, as shown inFigure CQ23.10, the word LEAD appears inverted, but theword OXIDE does not. Explain.
The top of a swimming pool is at ground level. If the poolis 2.00 m deep, how far below ground level does the bottom ofthe pool appear to be located when (a) the pool is completelyfilled with water? (b) When it is filled halfway with water?
A light ray of wavelength 589 nm is incident at an angle Θ onthe top surface of a block of polystyrene surrounded by air, asshown in Figure P22.48. (a) Find the maximum value of Θ forwhich the refracted ray will undergo total internal reflectionat the left vertical face of the block. (b) Repeat the calculationfor the case in which the polystyrene block is immersedin water. (c) What happens if the block is immersed in carbondisulfide?
A light beam shines through air and then strikes a mirror, making an angle theta = 39.0 degrees with respect to the vertical, as shown. The reflected beam then strikes a pane of glass of thickness h = 1.68 cm, located a distance y= 48.5 cm from the mirror, and then exits the glass pane at the bottom, a horizontal distance x cm away from where it struck the mirror. What is the value of x?
A scuba diver is submerged in a pool of liquid having an index of refraction n. He looks up at the sun and measures its angle theta 1 from the vertical. He then rises to the surface and again measures its angle. What value does he get for the following values: n Theta 1 1.75E+00 2.00E+01
Exp1ain why an object in water always appears to be at a depth shallower than it actually is?
A person looking into an empty container is able to see the far edge of the containers bottom, as shown in Figure P22.23a. The height of the container is h, and its width is d. When the container is completely filled with a fluid of index of refraction n and viewed from the same angle, the person can see the center of a coin at the middle of the containers bottom, as shown in Figure P22.23b. (a) Show that the ratio h/d is given by hd=n214n2 (b) Assuming the container has a width of 8.00 cm and is filled with water, use the expression above to find the height of the container.
Curved glassair interfaces like those observed in an empty shot glass make it possible for total internal reflection to occur at the shot glasss internal surface. Consider a glass cylinder (n = 1.54) with an outer radius of 2.50 cm and an inner radius of 2.00 cm as shown in Figure P38.105. Find the minimum angle i such that there is total internal reflection at the inner surface of the shot glass. FIGURE P38.105 Problems 105 and 106.
