Chapter 10.2, Problem 3cT
Remove the mirror and the object nail. For each eye location that you used in part B, draw the path that light takes from the object nail to the mirror.
Draw an arrow head on each line segment 
to indicate the direction that light moves along that part of the path.
On the basis of the paths that you have drawn, formulate a rule that you can use to predict the path that light takes after it is reflected by a mirror.

A concave lens refracts parallel rays in such a way that they are bent away from the axis of the lens. For this reason, a concave lens is referred to as a diverging lens.
Part A: Consider the following diagrams, where F represents the focal point of a concave lens. In these diagrams, the image formed by the lens is obtained using the ray tracing technique. Which diagrams are accurate?(Figure 1)
*Type A if you think that only diagram A is correct, type AB if you think that only diagrams A and B are correct, and so on.
Part B: If the focal length of the concave lens is -7.50 cm , at what distance d_o from the lens should an object be placed so that its image is formed 3.70 cm from the lens?
Construct ray diagrams to determine the location, orientation, size, and type of images formed by a curved mirror. Using the protractor and the ruler, copy each of the diagrams (A – F) below on a separate sheet of paper. As much as possible, use the four principal rays to locate the image formed in a curved mirror.
The prism in the diagram is being used as a mirror.
(a) Construct a ray diagram to indicate how the light entering the prism travels. Show how it reflects off the back face and also where the reflected ray leaves the prism.
(b) Is point A, B, C, D, or E most likely to intercept an outgoing ray?
(c) The incoming ray hits the back left face of the prism at what angle? (in terms of the normal to the back face)
(d) A reflected ray leaves the back left face of the prism at what angle?
(e) What is the index of refraction of the prism if the ray experiences total internal reflection when it hits the back face of the prism?
