- A point source of light is submerged below the surface of a pond and emits light in all directions. When viewed from above the water surface, directly over the light, the water surface area illuminated forms a circle. What is the depth of the light, below the water surface, to cause a circle of light on the surface with a radius of 2 m? What limits the size of this circle of light? nwater=1.33arrow_forwardPhysics Many nocturnal animals demonstrate the phenomenon of eyeshine, in which their eyes glow various colors at night when illuminated by a flashlight or the headlights of a car (see the photo). Their eyes react this way because of a thin layer of reflective tissue called the tapetum lucidum that is located directly behind the retina. This tissue reflects the light back through the retina, which increases the available light that can activate photoreceptors, and thus improve the animal’s vision in low-light conditions. If we assume the tapetum lucidum acts like a concave spherical mirror with a radius of curvature of 0.750 cm, how far in front of the tapetum lucidum would an image form of an object located 30.0 cm away? Neglect the effects of the other structures of the eye, such as the cornea and lens.arrow_forwardWhen light passes from one medium to another, its frequency remains the same but its wavelength changes. Light travels from vacuum to water. The speed of light in vacuum is 1.33 times its speed in water. Compare the wavelength of light in a vacuum to that in water.

- When unpolarised light is passed through a polariser, and then through an analyser with its polarising axis at a right angle to the axis of the polariser, the intensity of the remaining light is approximately zero. When a second polarising sheet is placed between the polariser and the analyser, the final intensity is much brighter and clearly non-zero. Explain how this can happen.arrow_forwardThe laws of refraction and reflection are the same for sound as for light. The speed of sound in air is 340 m/s and in water it is 1510 m/s. If a sound wave approaches a plane water surface at an angle of incidence of 12.0o, what is the angle of refraction? (Hint: Determine how velocities of a wave in a medium relate to Snell’s Law) The angle of refraction is how many degrees?
