An object is placed halfway between a planar (flat) mirror and a diverging lens with a focal
length of -25cm. The distance between the mirror and the lens is 30cm. You view the image of
the object's reflection in the planar mirror by looking through the lens. Where does this image
appear?
Light with a wavelength of 420nm in air is incident on a thin film of water (n=1.333) on top of
a plate of glass (n=1.56). Calculate the two smallest thickness for the water film that will
produce dark spots from reflection.

Problem 99.
A) How is a good single-lens camera (one that can be "focused") able to take clear pictures of objects that are a variety
of distances from the camera?
B) How is the eye able to place clear images on the retina of objects that are a variety of distances from the eye?
C) For a fixed focus camera to take clear pictures, the object distance must satisfy a certain inequality. What is this

- Optical fibers utilize total internal reflection (TIR) to confine and guide light. They are typically used in materials processing as a means of delivering light from a laser source to a processing head. Other applications include telecommunications, spectroscopy, illumination and sensors. A particularly common form of optical fiber is a step-index fiber, shown in Figure 1. Step-index fibers have an inner core made from a material with a refractive index (ncore) that is higher than the surrounding cladding layer (nclad). Within the fiber, a critical angle of incidence (θcrit) exists such that light will reflect off the core/cladding interface by TIR, as opposed to refracting into the fiber cladding. To fulfil the conditions for TIR to occur, the angle of incidence of light launched into the fiber must be less than a certain angle, which is defined as the acceptance angle (θacc). The critical angle for TIR in a given fiber can be calculated on the basis of the refractive indices of…arrow_forwardOptical fibers utilize total internal reflection (TIR) to confine and guide light.
