Chapter 22, Problem 20P
**Lifting light You have a V-shaped transparent empty container such as shown in Figure P22.20. When you shine a laser pointer horizontally through the empty container, the beam goes straight through and makes a spot on the wall. (a) What happens to this spot if you fill the container with water just a little above the level at which the laser beam passes through the container? (b) What happens if you fill the container to the very top? Indicate any assumptions used and draw a ray diagram for each situation Note: This is a multiple- possibility problem.

- You have just installed a new bathroom in your home. Your shower doors have frosted glass to provide privacy for the person using the shower. The frosted surface is on the outside of the shower door, facing the rest of the bathroom. The frosting is done by acid etching the surface so that light incident on the rough surface is scattered in all directions. Proud of your new bathroom, you take a photo of it with your smartphone. You notice in the photograph that you can see a reflection of the flash in the shower doors and the reflection is surrounded by a halo of light. Curious, you turn on a laser pointer and aim it at the shower door. Looking closely at the reflection, you again see a halo that consists of a dark area surrounding the reflection of the pointer and then an area of brightness outside this dark ring. You grab a micrometer and a ruler and measure the thickness of the glass to be 6.35 mm and the inner radius of the bright halo to be 10.7 mm. From these measurements, you determine the index of refraction of the glass.arrow_forwardUnreasonable results Light traveling from water to a gemstone strikes the surface at an angle of 80.00 and has an angle of refraction of 15.2°.

Use a convex mirror and place the pot at the focal point of the mirror on the opposite side from the Sun B. Use a concave mirror and place the pot at the focal point of the mirror on the opposite side from the Sun C. It is not possible to boil a pot of water using a mirror and the sun only a lens can be used with sunlight to boil a pot of water D. Use a convex mirror and place the pot at the focal point of the mirror on the same side as the sun E. Use a concave and mirror and place the pot at the focal point of the mirror on the same side as a sun.arrow_forward
