An opaque cylindrical tank with an open top has a diameter of 3.25 m and is completely filled with water. When the afternoon Sun reaches an angle of 33.6° above the horizon, sunlight ceases to illuminate the bottom of the tank. How deep is the tank?m
You sight along the rim of a glass with vertical sides so that the top rim is lined up with the opposite edge of the bottom (Fig.a). The glass is a thin-walled, hollow cylinder 16.0 cm high. The diameter of the top and bottom of the glass is 8.0 cm. While you keep your eye in the same position, a friend fills the glass with a transparent liquid, and you then see a dime that is lying at the center of the bottom of the glass (Fig.b). What is the index of refraction of the liquid?
An cylindrical opaque drinking glass has a
diameter 4 cm and height h, as shown in the
figure. An observer's eye is placed as shown
(the observer is just barely looking over the
rim of the glass). When empty, the observer
can just barely see the edge of the bottom
of the glass. When filled to the brim with
a transparent liquid, the observer can just
barely see the center of the bottom of the
glass.
The liquid in the drinking glass has an index
of refraction of 1.15.

- To dress up your dorm room, you have purchased a perfectly spherical glass fishbowl to place on the windowsill. After placing the sand, decorations, and water in the bowl of diameter 40.0 cm, you transfer a single tropical fish from a plastic bag into the bowl. As you watch the fish, your roommate comes home. He watches the fish also and notices that the apparent size of the fish changes as it swims around in the bowl.
