(a) To determine:
If the focal length of a glass converging lens in water will be longer
Answer to Problem 26Q
Solution:
The focal length of a glass converging lens in water is longer than that in air.
Explanation of Solution
The parallel rays striking the glass converging lens from air medium, according to Snell’s law the rays are bent towards the normal and again when it leaves the lens and at the second surface the ray is bent away from the normal. After refraction at the lens surfaces, the rays focus at the focal point.
If the lens is placed in water, the refractive index of the lens in water is reduced.
Now, the parallel rays fall on the lens, whose refractive index is less than previous, bent toward normal. The bent is less than that in air.
As, the parallel rays are only bent less, the rays after refraction at the lens surfaces, the rays are not the much bent rays as before and so it travels focus at a point farther. Hence, the focal point is changed to the right which increases the focal length.
(b) To determine:
That if the focal length of a glass converging lens in water will be shorter.

The focal length of a glass converging lens in water will not be shorter than that in water

As, the parallel rays are only bent less, the rays after refraction at the lens surfaces, the rays are not the much bent rays as before and so it travels focus at a point farther. Hence, the focal point is changed to the right which increases the focal length.
(c) To determine:
That if the focal length of a glass converging lens in water will be the same as in air
Answer to Problem 26Q
Solution:
The focal length of a glass converging lens in water will not be the same as in air.

- Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a helically-shaped bacterium that is usually found in the stomach. It burrows through the gastric mucous lining to establish an infection in the stomach's epithelial cells (see photo). Approximately 90% of the people infected with H. pylori will never experience symptoms. Others may develop peptic ulcers and show symptoms of chronic gastritis. The method of motility of H. pylori is a prokaryotic flagellum attached to the back of the bacterium that rigidly rotates like a propeller on a ship. The flagellum is composed of proteins and is approximately 40.0 nm in diameter and can reach rotation speeds as high as 1.50 x 103 rpm. If the speed of the bacterium is 10.0 μm/s, how far has it moved in the time it takes the flagellum to rotate through an angular displacement of 5.00 * 10² rad?
