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?
The top row of Figure CQ23.2 shows three ray diagrams for an object O in front of a concave mirror and the bottom row shows three ray diagrams for an object O in front of a convex mirror. In each diagram, one ray is drawn correctly and the other u drawn incorrectly. For (a)-(f), determine whether the red (R) or blue (B) ray is drawn correctly.
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.
