109 In Fig. 34-54, a fish watcher at point P watches a fish through a glass wall of a fish tank. The watcher is level with the fish; the index of re- fraction of the glass is 8/5, and that Watcher of the water is 4/3. The distances are di = 8.0 cm, dz = 3.0 cm, and dz = 6.8 cm. (a) To the fish, how far away does the watcher appear to be? (Hint: The watcher is the object. Light from that object passes through the wall's outside surface, which acts as a refracting sur- face. Find the image produced by that surface. Then treat that im- age as an object whose light passes through the wall's inside sur- face, which acts as another refracting surface.) (b) To the watcher, how far away does the fish appear to be? de D Wall Figure 34-54 Problem 109.

(a) An opaque cylindrical tank with an open top has a diameter of 2.65 m and is completely filled with water. When the afternoon sun reaches an angle of 31.0° above the horizon, sunlight ceases to illuminate any part of the bottom of the tank. How deep is the tank (in m)? m (b) What If? On winter solstice in Seattle, the sun reaches a maximum altitude of 19° above the horizon.

A thick-walled wine goblet can be considered to be a hollow glass sphere with an outer radius of 4.10 cmcm and an inner radius of 3.60 cmcm. The index of refraction of the goblet glass is 1.50. (a) A beam of parallel light rays enters the side of the empty goblet along a horizontal radius. Where, if anywhere, will an image be formed? (b) The goblet is filled with white wine (nn = 1.37). Where is the image formed? Use the image from the previous part as the object for the second surface (the inner wall of the same side of the goblet) and find the position of the second image. Express your answer with the appropriate units.
