Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 6P
A fish looks up toward the surface of a pond and sees the entire panorama of clouds, sky birds, and so on, contained in a narrow cone of light, beyond which there is darkness. What is going on here to produce this vision, and how large is the opening angle of the cone of Light received by the fish?

A pebble 1 cm tall is placed 40 cm to the left of a +5-diopter lens. A -5-diopter lens is placed 30 cm to the right of the first lens. Where will the final image be located, and will it be real or virtual? What will be the size of the final image, and will it be erect or inverted?
When do (object distance) is very large, what does the thin lens equation predict for the value of 1/f? In other words, when the object distance is very large, what happens to 1/f, and how does the thin lens equation play an important role in this? Please answer this question in a few paragraphs. Thank You!. I am very confused and stuck on this question so I need a full step by step explanation.

- When you focus a camera, you adjust the distance of the lens from the film. If the camera lens acts like a thin lens, why can it not be a fixed distance from the film for both near and distant objects?arrow_forwardExp1ain why an object in water always appears to be at a depth shallower than it actually is?arrow_forwardA person can see well in the distance, but cannot do so at an arm's-length distance. What type of lens must be used to correct the vision (converging/diverging) and where is the image for this lens placed (relative to the object)? Why?arrow_forward
- Consider a lamp at the bottom of a 1-m deep swimming pool. Light leaves the lamp at various angles, travels through the water, then reflects and/or refracts when it gets to the air. Draw rays of light leaving the lamp at 10 degrees, 30 degrees, 50 degrees, and 70 degrees with respect to the vertical. Show on your drawing what the light does when it gets to the air-water surface (which you should assume is perfectly smooth, flat, and horizontal).arrow_forwardA small coin is resting at the bottom of a swimming pool. Draw a ray diagram of the situation, showing at least two incident rays (one on each side of the normal) and their refracted rays at the water-air interface. Trace the refracted rays back into the water until they converge. Now you can identify some right triangles that will allow you to deduce the apparent distance below the water of the coin in terms of its actual distance and the index of refraction. Derive from this the formula for the apparent distance.arrow_forwardThe Yellow Submarine is a distance of 100 m from the beach.
