Electric room heaters use a concave mirror to reflect infrared (IR) radiation from hot coils. Note that IR follows the same law of reflection as visible light. The coils are 24.424.4 cm away from the mirror, and an image of the coils is 3.503.50 m away from the mirror. Find the magnification of the heater element.

Electric room heaters use a concave mirror to reflect infrared (IR) radiation from hot coils. Note that IR radiation follows the same law of reflection as visible light. The mirror has a radius of curvature of 40 cm and produces an image of the coils 340 cm away from the mirror. How far away are the coils from the mirror? cm away. What is the absolute value of the magnification of the heater element? Magnification = . Note that its large magnitude helps spread out the reflected energy. Can you see why that is useful for this device?

H 2.0m A scuba diver training in a pool looks at his instructor as shown in the figure. The angle between the ray in the water and the perpendicular to the water is 0: 25°. (a) What angle does the ray from the instructor's face make with the perpendicular to the water at the point where the ray enters? Angle, : 34.190 (b) Find the height, H, of the instructor's head above the water, noting that you will first have to calculate the angle of incidence. Note the scuba diver perceives the instructor as though the incident ray never refracted.
Some electro-optic materials can change their index of refraction in response to an applied voltage. Suppose a planoconvex lens (flat on one side, a 18.0 cm radius of curvature on the other), made from a material whose normal index of refraction is 1.500, is creating an image of an object that is 65.0 cm from the lens. By how much would the index of refraction need to be increased to move the image 5.0 cm closer to the lens?
Use the exact values you enter to make later calculations.
