A concave mirror has a focal length of 15 cm. What is the magnification if the object's distance is 105 cm?A healthy person has a body temperature of 98.6 oF. Use the properties of blackbody radiation to work out the precise wavelength of the peak radiation. (Hint: Convert Fahrenheit degrees into Kelvin (absolute) degrees.)
ray of light strikes a flat block of glass at an incidence angle of
?1 = 38.6°.
The glass is 2.00 cm thick and has an index of refraction that equals
ng = 1.52.
a.)What is the angle of refraction,
?2,
that describes the light ray after it enters the glass from above? (Enter your answer in degrees to at least 2 decimal places.)
b.) With what angle of incidence,
?3,
does the ray approach the interface at the bottom of the glass? (Enter your answer in degrees to at least 2 decimal places.)
c.) With what angle of refraction,
?4,
does the ray emerge from the bottom of the glass? (Enter your answer in degrees to at least 1 decimal place.)
d.) The distance d separates the twice-bent ray from the path it would have taken without the glass in the way. What is this distance (in cm)?
e.) At what speed (in m/s) does the light travel within the glass?
f.) How many nanoseconds does the light take to pass through the glass along the angled path shown here?
Note: this is not a writing assignment which will violate your honor code. THis is simply just a question that I wanted to clarify. So please if you do have any idea, just please answer my quesry.
Query:
what is the relationship between the incident angle of light with respect to the index of refraction of a triangular prism? can someone help me. I am becoming more confused. like if the overall index of refraction of a prism is smaller regardless of how small the angle of incidence it still will be refracted. and the greater the index of refraction there are instances when the smaller the angle of incidence such as 30 degrees no refraction of light will occur? This hypothesis was based on my observation with my performed simulation. Can someone answer this. Please. would mean a lot. thanks
