Consider a beam of light from the left entering a prism of apex angle as shown in Figure P34.34. Two angles of incidence, 1, and 3, are shown as Hell as two angles of refraction, 2 and 4. Show that = 1 + 3. Figure P34.34
An object is placed a distance of 10.0 cm to the left of a thin converging lens of focal length f = 8.00 cm, and a concave spherical mirror with radius of curvature +18.0 cm is placed a distance of 45.0 cm to the right of the lens (Fig. P38.129). a. What is the location of the final image formed by the lensmirror combination as seen by an observer positioned to the left of the object? b. What is the magnification of the final image as seen by an observer positioned to the left of the object? c. Is the final image formed by the lensmirror combination upright or inverted? FIGURE P38.129
Figure P35.20 (page 958) shows a curved surface separating a material with index of refraction n1 from a material with index n2. The surface forms an image I of object O. The ray shown in red passes through the surface along a radial line. Its angles of incidence and refraction are both zero, so its direction does not change at the surface. For the ray shown in blue, the direction changes according to Snells law, n1 sin 1 = n2 sin 2. For paraxial rays, we assume 1, and 2 are small, so we may write n1 tan 1 = n2 tan 2. The magnification is defined as M = h/h. Prove that the magnification is given by M = n1q/n2p. Figure P35.20
The radius of curvature of the left-hand face of a flint glass biconvex lens (n = 1.60) has a magnitude of 8.00 cm, and the radius of curvature of the right-hand face has a magnitude of 11.0 cm. The incident surface of a biconvex lens is convex regardless of which side is the incident side. What is the focal length of the lens if light is incident on the lens from the left?
Figure P36.95 shows a thin converging lens for which the radii of curvature of its surfaces have magnitudes of 9.00 cm and 11.0 cm. The lens is in front of a concave spherical mirror with the radius of curvature R = 8.00 cm. Assume the focal points F1 and F2 of the lens are 5.00 cm from the center of the lens, (a) Determine the index of refraction of the lens material. The lens and mirror are 20.0 cm apart, and an object is placed 8.00 cm to the left of the lens. Determine (b) the position of the filial image and (c) its magnification as seen by the eye in the figure. (d) Is the final image inverted or upright? Explain.
A ray of light is incident at an angle 30.0 on a plane slab of flint glass surrounded by water. (a) Find the refraction angle. (b) Suppose the index of refraction of the surrounding medium can be adjusted, but the incident angle of the light remains the same. As the index of refraction of the medium approaches that of the glass, what happens to the refraction angle? (c) What happens to the refraction angle when the mediums index of refraction exceeds that of the glass?
