Three plane mirrors intersect at right angles. A beam of laser light strikes the first
of them at an angle e with respect to the normal. (See figure below)
(a) Show that when this ray is reflected off of the other two mirrors and crosses
the original ray, the angle a between these two rays will be a = 180' – 20.
(b) For what angle e will the two rays be perpendicular when they
cross?
Human eyes include converging lenses. Do you anticipate the retinal picture to be upright or inverted? Discuss how this impacts our perception of items.
What is the far point and near point of the human eye with normal vision?

If the convex face is spherical, a ray near the edge does not pass through the local point (spherical aberration occurs). Assume this face has a radius of curvature of R = 20.0 cm and the two rays are at distances h1 = 0.500 cm and h2 = 12.0 cm from the principal axis. Find the difference x in the position where each crosses the principal axis. Figure P23.54arrow_forwardb，c，darrow_forward
- Calculate the distance from which a person with good vision can see the whites of another person’s eyes. Assume that the smallest resolvable angle for the human eye is 4.95 x 10-4 radians and that the size of the eye is 1 cm.arrow_forwardThe ciliary muscles in a horse’s eye can make only small changes to the shape of the lens, so a horse can’t change the shape of the lens to focus on objects at different distances as humans do. Instead, a horse relies on the fact that its eyes aren’t spherical. As shown, different points at the back of the eye are at somewhat different distances from the front of the eye. We say that the eye has a “ramped retina”; images that form on the top of the retina are farther from the cornea and lens than those that form at lower positions. The horse uses this ramped retina to focus on objects at different distances, tipping its head so that light from an object forms an image at a vertical location on the retina that is at the correct distance for sharp focus. In a horse’s eye, the image of a close object will be in focusA. At the top of the retina.B. At the bottom of the retina.arrow_forwardb,c,darrow_forward
