Concept explainers
You are working on a laboratory device that includes a small sphere with a large electric charge Q. Because of this charged sphere, there is a strong electric field surrounding your device. Other researchers in your laboratory are complaining that your electric field is affecting their equipment. You think about how you can obtain the large electric field that you need close to the sphere but prohibit the field from reaching your colleagues. You decide to surround your device with a spherical transparent plastic shell of radius R. The plastic has a very thin coating of

As a woman, who's eyes are h = 1.5 m above the ground, looks down the road sees a tree with height H = 9.0 m. Below the tree is what appears to be a reflection of the tree. The observation of this apparent reflection gives the illusion of water on the roadway. This effect is commonly called a mirage. Use the results of questions 1 and 2 and the principle of ray reversibility to analyze the diagram below. Assume that light leaving the top of the tree bends toward the horizontal until it just grazes ground level. After that, the ray bends upward eventually reaching the woman's eyes. The woman interprets this incoming light as if it came from an image of the tree. Determine the size, H', of the image. (Answer 8.8 m) please show all work step by steparrow_forward
