Concept explainers
Turn the large sheet of paper over (or obtain a fresh sheet of paper). Place the mirror in the middle of the sheet of paper, and place a nail in front of the mirror. On the paper, mark the locations of the mirror and the nail.
On the paper, draw several lines of sight to the image of the nail.
How can you use these lines of sight to determine the location of the image of the nail
Use the method of parallax to determine the location of the image of the nail.
Do these two methods yield the same location of the image (to within reasonable uncertainty)?

- You have enrolled in a scuba diving class and while swimming under water in a nearby lake you look up and note that the Sun appears to be at an angle of 20° from the vertical. At what angle above the horizon does the diving instructor standing on shore see the Sun? Additional Materials O Readingarrow_forwardThe velocity of light refracted in water in the swimming pool is at 0.75c, where c is the speed of light. If the depth of the water in the pool is 3 meters and the source of light makes an angle as stated in column C with respect to the vertical line of the pool. The index of refraction in air is 1.0. a.) Determine the angle of refraction in degrees. b.) Determine the refracted distance on the floor of the pool. c.) How long does it take to reach for the spot of light at the bottom of the pool? d.)What is the intensity of the light that travels through the water? e. What is the intensity of light that is reflected at the surface of the pool? Column C value 0.4886921906 unit of measure radarrow_forwardA horizontal light ray initially in air (n1 = 1) approaches a prism as shown in the diagram below. The prism is in the shape of a right triangle and has an index of refraction of 1.5 (i.e. n2=1.5). a. Draw the trajectory of the light ray to show how it enters and exits the prism. b. Calculate the angle (with respect to the normal) at which it both enters and exits the prism. Show your work. 60arrow_forward
- The side-view mirrors of most cars are convex spherical mirrors (so that the driver can see a wider angle behind the car). Suppose that the side view mirror of your car has a radius of curvature of 18 m, and that another car is 10 m in front of the mirror (behind the car). Ignore any aberration. a) Using the mirror equation to calculate how far the other car appears to be from the mirror. b) Sketch a light ray diagram including the object, the mirror, the image, and the principal light rays. c) Is the image distance smaller or larger than the object distance? Is the image smaller or larger than the object? Answer with calculations.arrow_forwardA bird is hovering above the sea in air (n=1) and sees a fish dashing at a distance of 45 cm below the surface of the sea (n=1.35). When the bird is directly above the fish, find the apparent position of the fish as seen by bird. a. 33 cm below the surface b. 33 cm above the surface c. 61 cm below the surface d. 61 cm above the surfacearrow_forwardPart 1: Two mirrors As shown in the diagram below, two mirrors meet at an angle, 0₂ = 148°. The red lines indicate the path a light ray has taken with 0₁ = 26°. Determine 03. 03 = 03 0₂ 0₁arrow_forward
