You sight along the rim of a glass with vertical sides so that the top rim is lined up with the opposite edge of the bottom (Fig.a). The glass is a thin-walled, hollow cylinder 16.0 cm high. The diameter of the top and bottom of the glass is 8.0 cm. While you keep your eye in the same position, a friend fills the glass with a transparent liquid, and you then see a dime that is lying at the center of the bottom of the glass (Fig.b). What is the index of refraction of the liquid?
To dress up your dorm room, you have purchased a perfectly spherical glass fishbowl to place on the windowsill. After placing the sand, decorations, and water in the bowl of diameter 40.0 cm, you transfer a single tropical fish from a plastic bag into the bowl. As you watch
the fish, your roommate comes home. He watches the fish also and notices that the apparent size of the fish changes as it swims around in the bowl. Ignore the effect of the thin glass walls of the bowl; take only the water into consideration. (Assume the index of refraction
of water is 1.33 and the index of refraction of air is 1.00.)
(a) He is not taking a physics course, so he asks you to tell him the range of magnifications of the fish as it swims along a line from the back of the bowl along a line passing through the center of the bowl directly toward the observer.
