Textbook Question
Chapter 10.5, Problem 1bT
Consider a point on the distant object that is also on the principal axis of the lens.
On the diagram below, sketch several rays from this distant point that reach the lens.
How are these rays oriented with respect to one another and to the principal axis? Explain.
On the basis of your observations from part A, show the continuation of each of these rays through the lens and out the other side. On the diagram, indicate where the rays converge.
Note: Refraction takes place at the two surfaces of the lens. However, in drawing a ray diagram for a thin lens, it is customary to draw rays as if all refraction takes place at the center of the lens.

Sketched below are several objects (the arrows labeled "O") in front of lenses. In each case, carefully redraw the sketch on your whiteboard, and then(a) Draw 3 principal rays leaving the top of the object;(b) Locate the image;(c) State whether the image is real or virtual, inverted or upright, and larger or smaller than the object.
(iv) For diagram #iii, suppose the focal length is 5 cm and the object is placed 7 cm from the lens. Find the exact location and magnification of the image. Does this agree with your expectation from the ray diagram?
Consider a light ray from a fish that emerges into the air with angle α as shown on the left. Now consider this same light ray originating from the fish going through glass before emerging into the air at angle β, as shown on the right. Which angle is larger: α or β? (Note: the path shown through the glass is illustrative only – you might have to change the slope.
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?
