- You are working for a solar energy company. Your supervisor has asked you to investigate a new idea that has been proposed for a solar collector. A large sphere of glass focuses light on photocells, as shown in Figure P35.22. The photocells are moved by electronics along the curved track to the right of the sphere. Your supervisor would like to build a prototype of a material with index of refraction n, but needs for you to calculate the position at which the Suns rays focus and, therefore, to find where to locale the curved track. Figure P35.22arrow_forwardUnreasonable results Suppose light travels from water to another substance, with an angle of incidence of 10.0and an angle of refraction of 14.9 . (a) What is the index of refraction of the other substance? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?arrow_forwardEndoscopes are medical instruments used to examine the gastrointestinal tract and other cavities inside the body. The light required for examination is conducted from an outside source along a long, flexible bundle of optical fibers to the tip, where it exits and illuminates the internal cavity. A lens on the lip collects an image of the lighted cavity and another fiber bundle conducts the image back along the endoscope to an eyepiece for viewing (Fig. P22.52). If each fiber in the bundle has diameter d = 1.00 104 m and refractive index n = 1.40, find the smallest outside radius R permitted for a bend in the fiber if no light is to escape.

- Light in medium A undergoes a total internal reflection as it reaches the interface with medium B. Which of the following statements must be true (choose all that apply)? (a) nB nA (b) nB nA (c) All light rays that undergo a total internal reflection travel along the interface between the two materials. (d) Light traveling in the opposite direction, from B into A, cannot undergo a total internal reflection.arrow_forwardYou are working at your university swimming center. The athletic department decides that it would like to install a flag pole of height 10.0 m at the south end of one of the outdoor pools, which lies along a northsouth axis. The pool is 3.00 m deep and the flag pole is to be installed 4.00 m from the south edge of the pool, midway along the length of the south edge. (a) Your supervisor knows of your expertise in physics and asks you to determine the distance of the shadow of the tip of the flag pole on the bottom of the pool from the south wall of the pool on a summer day when the Sun appears directly south and at an angle of 65.0 above the horizon. (b) Your supervisor also asks if there is any time during the year that the flag pole will not cast a shadow along the bottom of the pool when the Sun is due south. The highest the Sun reaches in the sky at this location is 68.5 at the summer solstice.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°.

- A ray of light is incident at an angle 30.0 on a plane slab of flint glass surrounded by water. (a) Find the refraction angle. (b) Suppose the index of refraction of the surrounding medium can be adjusted, but the incident angle of the light remains the same. As the index of refraction of the medium approaches that of the glass, what happens to the refraction angle? (c) What happens to the refraction angle when the mediums index of refraction exceeds that of the glass?arrow_forward14. A ray of light strikes the midpoint of one face of an equiangular (60°−60°−60°) glass prism (n = 1.5) at an angle of incidence of 30°. (a) Trace the path of the light ray through the glass and find the angles of incidence and refraction at each surface. (b) If a small fraction of light is also reflected at each surface, what are the angles of reflection at the surfaces?arrow_forwardCould you please help me with this questionarrow_forward

Which of the following conditions will not contribute to making the rainbow visible? a. The observer must face the sun with his back to the rain clouds. b. The observer must face the rain clouds with his back to the sun. c. The light from the sun must reflect off the backs of the water droplets in the rain clouds at angles greater than the critical angle for total internal reflection. d. The observer must be sufficiently far from the clouds to be able to see the color separation due to dispersion. e. The index of refraction of any material, including water, must be frequency dependent.arrow_forwardA beam of white light is incident at 340 to the surface normal of a stagnant lake.
