Obtain two soda cans and a cardboard tube that has a smaller diameter than the can.
1. How can you arrange the two soda cans so that (a) they appear to be equally wide and (b) one can appears wider than the other?
In the space below, draw a top view diagram for each case that can be used to compare the apparent widths of the cans.
2. How can you arrange one can and the tube so that (a) the two objects appear to be equally wide and (b) the tube appears wider than the can?
In the space below, draw a top view diagram for each case that can be used to compare the apparent widths of the two objects.
3. What quantities affect the apparent size of an object? Describe how increasing or decreasing each quantity affects the apparent size of that object.
Explain how you can use a top view diagram to determine whether one object appears wider or narrower than another object to an observer at a particular location.

- Case 7: Consider the case of an object (draw yourself on the diagram, an arrow erect on the optical axis) located at d0 > 2F'. Draw the following rays in the figure: ray parallel to the optical axis, focal ray, central ray, draw the image of the arrow, indicate in the same figure from where to where di is (image-lens distance). Don't forget to put the direction on each ray, both the incident rays and the transmitted rays. Image characteristics for case 7: object located at d0 > 2F'. Choose the ones that apply: a) Virtual b) Real c) Inverted d) Increased e) No image is formed f) Equal size g) Reduced h) Erect Case 10: Consider the case of an object (draw yourself on the diagram, an arrow erect on the optical axis) located within the focus F', that is do < F'. Draw the following rays in the figure: ray parallel to the optical axis, focal ray, central ray, draw the image of the arrow, indicate in the same figure from where to where di is (image-lens distance). Don't forget to…arrow_forwardTwo convex lenses which share a common principal axis are separated by a distance which is greater than the sum of their focal lengths, as shown. Part (a) An object is placed a distance do,1=22 cm to the left of lens 1 which has focal length F1=4.2 cm. Ignore the existence of lens 2 for the moment. What is the position of the image, di,1 created by lens 1? Include the sign which is consistent with standard sign conventions. Part (b) Calculate the magnification, M1, of lens 1 for the object as positioned in the previous step. Be certain to include the sign that is consistent with the standard conventions. Part (c) Which statement best describes the image created by lens 1? Part (d) Lens 2 is placed a distance L=20.0cm to the right of lens 1, and the image of lens 1 becomes the object of lens 2. Calculate the object distance, do,2, relative to lens 2. Be certain to include the sign as consistent with the standard sign conventions.

- A light is to be placed above the center of a circular area of radius a. What height gives the best illumination on a circular walk surrounding the area? (When light from a point source strikes a surface obliquely, the intensity of illumination is I = (k sinA)/d^2 where A is the angle of incidence and d the distance from the source.) [Show your answer on the nearest hundredths]arrow_forwardPARTS (a), (b), AND (c) ALREADY HAVE CORRET ANSWER. PLEASE PROVIDE FORMULA FOR PARD (d) A ray of monochromatic light is incident on the face of a prism in the shape of an equilateral triangle (that is, the apex angle of the prism is 60.0°). The incidence angle of the light ray is 76.6°. The prism is made of a transparent material with an index of refraction of 1.492 (at the light ray's wavelength).

(Round your answer to at least one decimal place.) 40.69° (b) Calculate the angle of incidence at the second surface (in degrees).

All 4 parts are use the information in the top left of the 1st image.arrow_forwardUsing a ruler or any straight edge and a scale of your choice and applying the steps in ray diagramming, complete the ray diagramming for Cases 2 to 5 in order to prove the correctness of the image characteristics of the objects in the specified positions as indicated in Table 1.arrow_forward1. Find the focal length of a biconcave lens (n = 1.65) if the magnitudes of the radii of curvature are 0.40 m and 0.60 m. In your solution, did it matter which was surface A and which was surface B? Briefly explain (or show your solution). 2. When a glass lens is submerged in water, is its focal length less than, equal to, or greater than when it is surrounded by air? Explain using Snell’s law. 3. A small insect viewed through a convex lens is 1.8 cm from the lens and appears 2.5 times larger than its actual size. What is the focal length of the lens?arrow_forward
