Problem An extended light source can be modeled as a group of several point-like light sources. The figure below shows a linear light source (such as fluorescent lamp) modeled by three point-light sources, a sheet of black paper, and a screen. Light source Side view Paper Screen A. Copy the sketch in your notebook. Determine the regions of shadow and semi-shadow on the screen by drawing rays from the three point-like light sources. B. Qualitatively compare the relative brightness (and darkness) of the regions.

The side-view mirrors of most cars are convex spherical mirrors (so that the driver can see a wider angle behind the car). Suppose that the side view mirror of your car has a radius of curvature of 18 m, and that another car is 10 m in front of the mirror (behind the car). Ignore any aberration. a) Using the mirror equation to calculate how far the other car appears to be from the mirror. b) Sketch a light ray diagram including the object, the mirror, the image, and the principal light rays. c) Is the image distance smaller or larger than the object distance? Is the image smaller or larger than the object? Answer with calculations.
As a project, some students are planning to determine the speed of light using Michelson's speed of light apparatus (shown below). For their experiment they plan to have a distance Doe between the mirrors. For N=1, they need an angular speed of we If they decrease the distance by a factor of 2. what angular speed (in terms of se) would they need for the N=1 case?

All answers require full explanations in complete sentences. The figure below shows a spherical bubble of CO2 gas in a liquid. The index of refraction of the liquid is 1.5 times larger than that of the gas. A light ray in the liquid is incident on the bubble as shown. The black dot identifies the center of the bubble. Draw, precisely, a reasonable ray transmitted into the bubble and explain how you why it looks as you have drawn it. determined

Under what light conditions would the paper look black? Explain. The figure below shows a "color wheel" for three light sources illuminating a yellow screen. The top light source is red, the bottom-left is blue, and the bottom-right is green. Complete this figure by indicating the color that will be seen in each of the seven regions on the screen.
