A convex mirror with a radius of curvature of 25.0 cm is used to form an image of an arrow that is 10.0 cm away from the mirror. If the arrow is 2.00 cm tall and inverted (pointing below the optical axis), what is the height of the arrows image?
Light rays from the Sun make a 30° angle to the vertical when seen from below the surface of a body of water. At what angle above the horizon is the Sun?
A point source of light is 50 cm in front of a converging lens of focal length 30 cm. A concave mirror with a focal length of 20 cm is placed 25 cm behind the lens. Where does the final image form, and what are its orientation and magnification?
By ray tracing or by calculation, find the place inside the glass where rays from S converge as a result of refraction through the lens and the convex air-glass interface. Use a ruler to estimate the radius of curvature.
An object, represented by a gray arrow, is placed in from of a plane mirror. Which of the diagrams in Figure OQ36.14 correctly describes the image, represented by the pink arrow?
Measurements on the cornea of a person's eye reveal that the magnitude of the front surface radius of curvature is 0.0783 m, while the magnitude of the back surface radius of curvature is 0.0741 m. The index of refraction of the cornea is 1.38. If the cornea were simply a thin lens in air, as shown in the figure, what would be its power (in diopters; answer sign and magnitude)?
A thin lens is comprised of two spherical surfaces with radii of curvatures of 32.4 cm for the front side and -26.9 cm for the back side. The material of which the lens is compose has an index of refraction of 1.49. What is the magnification of the image formed by an object placed 43.7cm from the lens?
A cube made of crown glass (n = 1.52) is submerged in water (n = 1.33), as shown in the figure.If a ray of light enters the cube at point A with an angle of incidence in the waterof 35.0°, determine the angle of refraction in water for this light as it travels from the glass andinto water at point B.
What is the critical angle for a piece of glass (n = 1.5) immersed in water? In which material must the initial ray be located for total internal reflection to occur?
An arrow h0 = 2.00 cm long is located 79.9 cm from a lens, which has a focal length f = 32.0 cm. If the arrow is perpendicular to the principal axis of the lens, as shown in the figure below, what is its lateral magnification, defined as hi/h0? Suppose instead, that the arrow lies along the principal axis, extending from L0 = 78.9 cm to Li = 80.9 cm from the lens, as indicated in the figure below. What is the longitudinal magnification of the arrow, defined as Li/L0?
An optician directs a laser beam at right angles to the long face (or hypotenuse) of a 45°–45°–90° prism immersed in air, as shown in the figure below. The beam undergoes total internal reflection at each of the two sides making up the legs of the right triangle. For this to occur, what must be the minimum index of refraction for the material making up the prism?
A telescope has an upward-pointing concave mirror of focal length 40 cm which, every night, collects the light from distant stars and focuses it on a camera so it can be analyzed. During the daytime shutdown, however, a 3-cm-long praying mantis creeps along the wire that lies on the axis of the telescope. He pauses at a distance of 60 cm from the mirror, and with his feet holding onto the wire, extends his body horizontally (mantises can do that) so that his body is perpendicular to the axis of the mirror. Is his image real or virtual? Is it upright or inverted? How big is it? Where is it?
