Textbook Question
Chapter 11.6, Problem 2bT
When comparing two materials of different indices of refraction, the material with the higher index of refraction is sometimes said to be more “optically dense” than the other. Is this terminology Consistent with the analogy that you made in part A?

- Consider the compound optical system shown in the diagram, where two thin lenses of focal lengths 7.5 cm (left lens) and 35 cm (right lens) are separated by a distance 25 cm. If a 2.9 cm tall object is placed as indicated in part (a), and the image formed is 0.74 cm tall, what is the magnification of the first lens? M1 = b. Using the information from part (a), calculate the image distance, in centimeters, from the first lens. di1 =arrow_forwardA plane wave hits a piece of glass whose front surface is spherical and whose back surface is plane. The radius of the lens is 10 cm and the thickness of the glass is 1 cm at the center, as shown in the diagram at right. At time t1, the center of the plane wavefront has just reached the lens. A short time later, at time t2, the center of the wavefront will have passed completely through the glass, as shown. a) Find the time that elapses between t1 and t2, the time it takes the center of the wavefront to pass thorugh the middle 1 cm of the glass. b) Find the amount by which the edges of the wavefront at t2 will be ahead of the cetner of the wavefront, due to the fact that these edges passed through empty space, with no glass in their paths.arrow_forwardin the image is my assignment.
