Given the light fixture on the picture. In this device you will be able to change the beam angle from 5 to 60 degrees. Assume an isometric distribution of the light on the illuminated surface
1) If the distance to the floor is 3 meters, what will be the beam angle that will produce an Illuminated surface Diameter of 2 meters?
NOTE: Answer seen in Part B of screenshot is incorrect as given to me by previous expert. Could I please be given the correct solution?
A beam of light travels vertically downward and strikes a horizontal mirror, reflecting directly back vertically upward, as indicated by the black dashed line in the diagram at left. The mirror is now rotated, so that it is 10° away from horizontal, as is the red mirror in the diagram . The incident solid black ray is the same in both cases.
a) At what angle from the vertical will the reflected beam (the red dashed arrow) now be seen?
b) If the mirror is further rotated until it is 20° from the horizontal, what will be the new angle between the reflected beam and the vertical?

- A narrow beam of light is incident on the left side of the prism shown in the figure below. The prism is a right triangle, with two of its angles measuring 45°. A) The transmitted beam that exits the hypotenuse of the prism makes an angle of ? = 17.5° with the direction of the incident beam. What is the index of refraction of the prism? B) In part (a), we assumed the beam was monochromatic. Consider instead the case where the beam was composed of white light. Because the index of refraction differs for different wavelengths, the white light would be dispersed into constituent colors. Assume the index of refraction for blue wavelengths is 1.01n and for red wavelengths it is 0.99n, where n is the index of refraction found in part (a). What is the angular spread (in degrees) between red and blue light exiting the prism?arrow_forwardA thin beam of white light is directed at a flat sheet of silicate flint glass at an angle of 20° to the surface of the sheet. Due to dispersion in the glass, the beam is spread out in a spectrum as shown in the figure. The refractive index of silicate flint glass versus wavelength is graphed in figure to the right. (a) The rays (A and B) shown in the figure correspond to the extreme wavelengths. Which corresponds to red and which to violet? Explain your reasoning.
