Shown below is a ray of light going from air through crown glass into water, such as going into a fish tank. Calculate the amount the ray is displaced by the glass (x), given that the incident angle is 40.0° and the glass is 1 .00 cm thick.
Consider sunlight entering Earth’s atmosphere at sunrise and sunset—that is, at 90.0incident angle. Taking the boundary between nearly empty space and the atmosphere to be sudden, calculate the angle of refraction for sunlight. This lengthens the time the Sun appears to be above the horizon, both at sunrise and sunset. Now construct a problem in which you determine the angle of refraction for different models of the atmosphere, such as various layers of varying density. Your instructor may wish to guide you on the level of complexity to consider and on how the index of refraction varies with air density.
An optical fiber uses flint glass clad with crown glass. What is the critical angle?
A diverging lens has a focal length of 20 cm. What is the power of the lens in diopters?
Objects viewed through a microscope are placed very close to the focal point of the objective lens. Show that the minimum separation x of two objects resolvable through the microscope is given by x=1.22f0D , where f0is the focal length and D is the diameter of the objective lens as shown below.
The print in many books averages 3.50 mm in height. How high is the image of the print on the retina when the book is held 30.0 cm from the eye?
Suppose your 50.00 mm local length camera lens is 51.0 mm away from the film in the camera. (a) How far away is an object that is in focus? (b) What is the height of the object if its image is 2.00 cm high?
(a) The print in many books averages 3.50 mm in height. How high is the image at the print on the retina when the book is held 30.0 cm from the eye? (b) Compare the size of the print to the sizes of rods and cones in the fovea and discuss the possible details observable in the letters. (The eye-brain system can perform better because of interconnections and higher order image processing.)
Suppose a 200 mm focal length telephoto lens is being used to photograph mountains 10.0 km away. (a) Where is file image? (b) What is the height of the image of a 1000 m high cliff on one of the mountains?
Calculate the index of refraction for a medium in which the speed of light is 2.120108m/s , and identify the most likely substance based on Table 1.1.
Sections 9.6 and 9.7 deal with the phenomena of dispersion and its applications to atmospheric optics. One such application is the explanation of rainbows. Develop a concept map that you could use to teach a friend or family member about the formation and basic characteristics of rainbows. Your map should include links to the fundamental physical processes of reflection, refraction, and dispersion and should distinguish between primary and secondary rainbows. It should also indicate the conditions that must be satisfied to observe rainbows.
Electric room heaters use a concave mirror to reflect infrared (IR) radiation from hot coils. Note that IR radiation follows the same law of reflection as visible light. Given that the mirror has a radius of curvature of 50.0 cm and produces an image of the coils 3.00 m away from the mirror, where are the coils?
