Geometric optics describes the interaction of light with macroscopic objects. Why, then, is it correct to use geometric optics to analyze a microscope’s image?
Draw rays to scale to locate the image at the retina if the eye lens has a focal length 2.5 cm and the near point is 24 cm. (Hint: Place an object at the near point.)
An object is placed in front of a converging lens at an object distance of twice the focal length of the lens. Sketch a ray diagram and compare the image and object distances. Repeat with two more ray diagrams, using different focal lengths and still making the object distance twice the focal length. Can you draw any conclusions by comparing the object distance and the image distance?
Derive the following equation for a convex mirror: 1VO1VI=1VF where VO is the distance to the object O from vertex V, VI the distance to the image I from V, and VF is the distance to the focal point F from V. (Hint: use two sets of similar triangles.)
The image formed by a convex spherical mirror with a focal length of magnitude 12.0 cm is located one-fourth of the object-mirror distance from the mirror. a. What is the distance of the object from the mirror? b. Is the image formed by the mirror upright or inverted? c. What is the magnification of this image?
An object is located in water 15 cm from the vertex of a concave surface made of glass with a radius of curvature 10 cm. Where does the image by refraction form and what is its magnification? Use nwater=4/3and nglass=1.5.
A water fountain is at the center of a circular pool as shown in Figure P1.59. A student walks around the pool and measures its circumference C. Next, he stands at the edge of the pool and uses a protractor to measure the angle of elevation of his sightline to the top of the water jet. How high is the fountain?

For ray reflections from a surface, which statement is true? (7.1) (a) The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. (b) The reflection angle is measured from a line perpendicular to the reflecting surface. (c) The rays lie in the same plane. (d) All the preceding are true.
The following figure shows a light bulb between two spherical mirrors. One mirror produces a beam of light with parallel rays; the other keeps light from escaping without being put into the beam. Where is the filament of the light in relation to the focal point or radius of curvature of each mirror?
