Specifically question 2 for question 1 I found Ra = .334m, but I'm unsure of how to realate it do the Radius (R) of curvature of the mirror. (1) Assume the intensity of sunlight is 1.00 kW/m2 at the surface of Earth. A highly reflecting concave mirroron the surface of Earth is to produce a power of at least 400 W at the image point. Assume the disk of theSun subtends an angle of 0.533◦ as seen from the surface of Earth, and that the mirror is pointed straight atthe center of the Sun, with the focus between the Sun and the front of the mirror. Calculate the requiredradius Ra of the circular area of the mirror. (2) For the mirror in (2)(d), suppose the light intensity at the image is now to be at least 150 kW/m2. Findthe required relationship between Ra and the radius of curvature R of the mirror.
Here you are asked to implement the method by dividing the aperture into a finitenumber of segments. Use a unit system where lengths are measured as multiples ofthe wavelength of the incident light, λ. Assume that the index of refraction n = 1.00can be used for air.Further assume that the horizontal distance between source and aperture X is somelarge multiple of λ, and that the same distance is assumed between aperture anddetector screen.Assume that the aperture size a is some small multiple of the wavelength.a) Compute the probability amplitude for the central detector height yd = 0 byusing three paths (i) one going directly from source (at height ys = 0, i.e., on the xaxis, via yi = 0 (at the aperture) towards the detector screen;(ii) then for two straight-line paths: one going via yi = a/2, and one vie yi = −a/2.The result should be three complex numbers. Show that these are unit-magnitudecomplex numbers.

Consider sunlight entering the Earth's atmosphere at sunrise and sunset-that is, at a 90° incident angle. Taking the boundary between nearly emptyspace and the atmosphere to be sudden, calculate the angle of refractionfor sunlight. This lengthens the time the Sun appears to be above thehorizon, both at sunrise and sunset. Now construct a problem in which youdetermine the angle of refraction for different models of the atmosphere,such as various layers of varying density. Your instructor may wish to guideyou on the level of complexity to consider and on how the index ofrefraction varies with air density.

A fisherman spots a fish underneath the water. It appears that the fish is d0 = 0.51 m under the water surface at an angle of θa = 62 degrees with respect to the normal to the surface of the water. The index of refraction of water is nw = 1.3 and the index of refraction of air is na = 1. Solve for the numerical value of θw in degrees. Now assume that the real position of the fish is directly below the apparent position, as shown in the figure. Express the real depth of the fish, d, in terms of L and tanθw.
