1. A ray of light is shone through the interface between two media. At a depth of 5 meters below the interface, the light ray has traveled 2 meters horizontally. If it had not been refracted, it would have traveled 3 meters horizontally at this depth. Find the ratio \( \frac{n_1}{n_2} \), where \( n_1 \) is the index of refraction of the material above the interface and \( n_2 \) is the index of refraction of the material below the interface.

2. Draw a raytrace diagram of an object and its reflected image in a convex mirror.

3. Using the same setup as in problem 1, find the critical angle for total internal reflection between medium 2 and medium 1.

4. An object is placed twice the focal distance from a concave mirror.
   - (a) Find the magnification of the object.
   - (b) Is the image upright or inverted?
   - (c) Same as in part (a), except now the object is placed at half the focal distance from the mirror.

5. If a lens has radii of curvature \( R_1 = 1.1 \) meters and \( R_2 = 1.2 \) meters and a focal length of 10 centimeters, what is the index of refraction of the lens?
