You are trying to photograph a bird sitting on a tree branch, but a tall hedge is blocking your view. However, as the drawing shows, a plane mirror reflects light from the bird into your camera. If x = 3.4 m and y = 4.8 m in the drawing, for what distance must you set the focus of the camera lens in order to snap a sharp picture of the bird's image?
A block of crown glass is immersed in water as in the figure below. A light ray is incident on the top face at an angle of  38° with the normal and exits the block at point P. (a) Find the vertical distance y from the top of the block to P. 0.0642 m 0.0483 m 0.0353 m 0.0854 m (b) Find the angle of refraction  θ2 of the light ray leaving the block at P.
This glass lens has an index of refraction n = 1.50. Its surfaces have radii of curvature of magnitude either 10 cm or 20 cm. Let's identify all the optical characteristics of this lens. R1  is concave or convex? R1  is curved strongly or weakly?   R1 =  +10 cm –20 cm –10 cm +20 cm
