Textbook Question
Chapter 10.5, Problem 1aT
Look at very distant object through a convex lens. Hold the lens at arm’s length so that you see a sharp image of the distant object.
Is the image formed by the lens in front of, behind, or on the surface of the lens? Use the method of parallax to determine the approximate distance between the image and the lens.

An area with two identical lamps located above the clouds at a height of 30 ft and at a distance of 40 ft from each other is lit at night. Assuming that the lamps radiate uniformly in all directions, set the brightness on the ground for a point just below one of the lamps and a point in the middle of them.
A woman standing on a cliff is watching a motor boat as the boat approaches the shoreline directly below her. If the womans eyes are 250 feet above the water level and if the boat is approaching at 30 feet per second, how fast is the angle of depression of the boat from the womans eyes changing when the boat is 250 feet from the shore?
If you were to observe the sunset on the Moon, would you see the space around the sun as red, like you do on earth?
Yes, because the color of light is independent of where you are.
No, you would see it blue because of scattering of light.
It would depend on the time of the day when you look at the sky.
You would not because there is no atmosphere on the moon to scatter the light.
You would not because the moon absorbs all the colors of light.
You would see it black because the moon reflects all the colors.
Yes, you would see it red like on the earth because both the moon and the earth are spehrical.
