Chapter 11, Problem 22EAP

Suppose someone claimed la make the discoivries described below. (These are not real discoivries.) Decide whether each discovery should be amsulrnii mtsmuible or surprising. More than one right answer may be possible, so explain your answer clearly.

  1. Saturn’s core is pockmarked with impact craters and dotted with volcanoes erupting lava.
  2. Neptune's deep blue color is not due to methane, as previously though!, but instead is due to its surface being covered with an ocean of liquid water.
  3. A jovian plane! in another star system has a moon as big as Mars.
  4. A planet orbiting another star is made primarily of hydrogen and helium and has approximately the same mass as Jupiter but is the same size as Neptune.
  5. A previously unknown moon orbtts Jupiter outside the orbits of other known moons. It is the smallest of Jupiter's moons but has several large, active volcanoes.
  6. A previously unknown moon orbits Neptune in the planet’s equatorial plane and in the same direcnon that Neptune rotates, but it is made almost entirely ol metals such as iron and nickel.
  7. An icy, medium-size moon orbits a jovian planet in a star system that is only a few hundred million years old. The moon shows evidence of active tectonics.
  8. A jovian planet is discovered in a star system that is much older than our solar system. The planet has no moons but has a system of rings as spectacular as the rings of Saturn.
  9. Future observations discover rainfall of liquid water on Titan.
  10. During a future mission to Uranus, scientists discover that it is orbited by another 20 previously unknown moons.

Use the following information to answer the next question. Two mirrors meet an angle, a, of 105°. A ray of light is incident upon mirror A at an angle, i, of 42°. The ray of light reflects off mirror B and then enters water, as shown below: Incident ray at A Note: This diagram is not to scale. a Air (n = 1.00) Water (n = 1.34) 1) Determine the angle of refraction of the ray of light in the water.

6. Bending a lens in OpticStudio or OSLO. In either package, create a BK7 singlet lens of 10 mm semi-diameter and with 10 mm thickness. Set the wavelength to the (default) 0.55 microns and a single on-axis field point at infinite object distance. Set the image distance to 200 mm. Make the first surface the stop insure that the lens is fully filled (that is, that the entrance beam has a radius of 10 mm). Use the lens-maker's equation to calculate initial glass curvatures assuming you want a symmetric, bi-convex lens with an effective focal length of 200 mm. Get this working and examine the RMS spot size using the "Text" tab of the Spot Diagram analysis tab (OpticStudio) or the Spd command of the text widnow (OSLO). You should find the lens is far from diffraction limited, with a spot size of more than 100 microns. Now let's optimize this lens. In OpticStudio, create a default merit function optimizing on spot size.Then insert one extra line at the top of the merit function. Assign the…
