The kitten, Simba (Fig. A) and the kitten, Bella (Fig. B) are inspecting a goldfish swimming inside a round aquarium filled with water (nwater = 1.33). The magnitude of the radius of the round surface of the aquarium is 16 cm. The kittens are in air (nair=1.00). In order to calculate the apparent depth of the fish as viewed by the kittens, you need to use the equation shown in Fig. C.

You are studying a rare species of small mushroom by growing them in a large tank filled with a 60percent glucose solution, which has an index of refraction of ns =1.44. In order to magnify the small mushroomsample, you have built a long glass rod with curved ends which you insert into the top of the tank. The glassrod has an index of refraction of ng =1.55. The lower curved end of the glass rod is 12cm above the mushroomsample, and its magnitude of curvature is |r1| = 6cm. The length of the glass rod is d = 25 cm, and the uppercurved end has a magnitude of the radius of curvature of |r2| = 10cm. The signs of both radii of curvature are leftto the student to determine from the figure below. The index of refraction of air is, as always, 1. Carry a largenumber of significant figures through the problem and simplify at the end.(a)Compute the final location of the image formed of the mushroom by the device.(b)Compute the total magnification of the glass rod.

A parallel beam of light enters a glass hemisphere perpendicularto the flat face, as shown in Figure P23.53. The radius ofthe hemisphere is R = 6.00 cm, and the index of refraction isn = 1.56.

Kyle lays a mirror flat on the floor and aims a laser at the mirror. The laser beam reflects off the mirror and strikes an adjacent wall. The plane of the incident and reflected beams is perpendicular to the wall. The beam from the laser strikes the mirror at a distance a = 11.7 cm from the wall. The reflected beam strikes the wall at a height b = 34.7 cm above the surface of the mirror. Find the angle of incidence 0, at which the laser beam strikes the mirror. 0, =

One end of the strip of a plane mirror is fixed and the other end rests on the top of the small vertical rod. The length of the plane mirror strip is 25cm. A ray of light is incident on the mirror and reflected from the mirror and forms a spot on a screen 3m away from the mirror. Now, if the top of the rod is moved upwards 0.1 mm, then what will be movement of the spot? A 0.24 cm B 3.4 cm 5 cm 4.5 cm
Two plane mirrors are at right angles to each other as shown by the side view in Figure P22.10. A light ray is incident on mirror 1 at an angle with the vertical.
