- An object of height 3 cm is placed at 25 cm in front of a converging lens of focal length 20 cm. Behind the lens there is a concave mirror of focal length 20 cm. The distance between the lens and the mirror is 5 cm. Find the location, orientation and size of the final image.arrow_forwardA submarine is 300 m horizontally from the shore of a fresh water lake and 100 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from the submarine so that the beam strikes the surface of the water 210 m from the shore. A building stands on the shore, and the laser beam hits a target at the top of the building. The goal is to find the height of the target above sea level. (a) Draw a diagram of the situation, identifying the two triangles that are important in finding the solution. (b) Find the angle of incidence of the beam striking the waterair interface. (c) Find the angle of refraction. (d) What angle docs the refracted beam make with the horizontal? (e) Find the height of the target above sea level.arrow_forwardAn object of height 3 cm is placed at a distance of 25 cm in front of a converging lens of focal length 20 cm, to be referred to as the first lens. Behind the lens there is another converging lens of focal length 20 cm placed 10 cm from the first lens. There is a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm placed 50 cm from the second lens.

As you retire to your room, you realize you have lost the key to the pool. You get a powerful flashlight and walk around the pool shining the light on it. The light illuminates the key, which lies at the bottom of the pool, when you hold the flashlight 1.2 m from the surface of the water and point it toward the surface at a horizontal distance of 1.5 m from the edge (see figure). If the water at that point is 4.0 m deep, how far from the edge of the pool is the key?arrow_forward
