Chapter 23, Problem 15Q
A child looks into a pool to see how deep it is. She then drops a small toy into the pool to help decide how deep the pool is. After this careful investigation, she decides it is safe to jump in—only to discover the water is over her head. What went wrong with her interpretation of her experiment?

An cylindrical opaque drinking glass has a
diameter 4 cm and height h, as shown in the
figure. An observer's eye is placed as shown
(the observer is just barely looking over the
rim of the glass). When empty, the observer
can just barely see the edge of the bottom
of the glass. When filled to the brim with
a transparent liquid, the observer can just
barely see the center of the bottom of the
glass.
The liquid in the drinking glass has an index
of refraction of 1.15.

Calculate the angle 0,.
Answer in units of degrees.
eye
You sight along the rim of a glass with vertical sides so that the top rim is lined up with the opposite edge of the bottom (Fig.a). The glass is a thin-walled, hollow cylinder 16.0 cm high. The diameter of the top and bottom of the glass is 8.0 cm. While you keep your eye in the same position, a friend fills the glass with a transparent liquid, and you then see a dime that is lying at the center of the bottom of the glass (Fig.b). What is the index of refraction of the liquid?
To dress up your dorm room, you have purchased a perfectly spherical glass fishbowl to place on the windowsill. After placing the sand, decorations, and water in the bowl of diameter 40.0 cm, you
transfer a single tropical fish from a plastic bag into the bowl. As you watch the fish, your roommate comes home. He watches the fish also and notices that the apparent size of the fish changes as it
swims around in the bowl. Ignore the effect of the thin glass walls of the bowl; take only the water into consideration. (Assume the index of refraction of water is 1.33 and the index of refraction of air
is 1.00.)
(a) He is not taking a physics course, so he asks you to tell him the range of magnifications of the fish as it swims along a line from the back of the bowl along a line passing through the center of
the bowl directly toward the observer.

For an independent study project, you design an experiment to measure the speed of light. You propose to bounce laser light off a mirror that is 51.0 km due east and have it detected by a light sensor that is 129 m due south of the laser. The first problem is to orient the mirror so that the laser light reflects off the mirror and into the light sensor. (a) Determine the angle that the normal to the mirror should make with respect to due west. ANS:____º Since you can read your protractor only so accurately, the mirror is slightly misaligned and the actual angle between the normal to the mirror and due west exceeds the desired amount by 0.003°. Determine how far south you need to move the light sensor in order to detect the reflected laser light. ANS:_____ marrow_forward

As you walk around, you find a well in the center of the town. The well has no pulley or rope. You look down into the well and from how dark it is you could tell that it is deep. Kally knows that you are taking physics 150 at Rio Hondo College, so she asks you to figure out the depth of the well. You take a stone and drop it into the well and you and Kally wait for the splash. Kally measures the time with her digital watch and tells you that it took 4 seconds. How deep is the well?arrow_forwardCan you help me with the wrong. Please? Thank you.arrow_forward
