If you were to find the focal point of a converging, or concave, mirror, it would be positive and half the radius of curvature. On
the diagram below draw the three principal reflected rays from the object (the arrow in this case ;) which will indicate the position
(d;), size (hi), orientation (upright or inverted), and nature (real or virtual) of the image formed. Label each value on the diagram
and give the actual numerical values according to the symbols used in equations from the "Lenses & Mirrors Notes" document.
(The three principal rays for reflection/mirrors are thoroughly described in your text.) d₂ = 10cm f = 6cm
A beam of light that consists of a mixture of red, green and violet light strikes a prism(surrounded by air) as shown. Indices of refraction for this prism for the various colorsare indicated in the table. An observer is located to the right of the prism as shown. Determine which color(s) could, in principle, be seen by the observer? Carefully show your work/describe your reasoning.
Show transcribed image text When a light ray A strikes the interface of mediums 1 and 2, there are two phenomena; one part of the incident ray is reflecting (20%) and second part of the incident ray is refructing (80%). See Figure 1 below. Given your responses to the following questions. Indicate the angles of incidence and refraction on figure 1. Compare both angles. Explain it. Which medium has the higher index of refraction? Give your reasoning. Which medium can be called "optically more dense" and which medium can be called "optically less dense"? Explain. In which medium is the light speed is greater and in which medium the light speed is less? Explain

- An object and screen are located as shown below, and a converging lens is placed between them. The lens produces a sharp image of the object on the screen. On the diagram, draw two principal rays from the top of the object (i.e. tip of the pencil) to the screen that will allow you to locate both focal points of the lens, and label these points on the diagram. Explain the reasoning used to determine the answer. On the diagram of the previous question, it is known that the distance between the lens and the object is twice the distance between the lens and the screen. It is also found that by moving the object closer to the lens by 12 cm, the lens produces a lateral magnification of –1 (of course the screen is also moved in the process). Compute the focal length of the lens in cm. Please show workarrow_forwardAll answers require full explanations in complete sentences. The figure below shows a spherical bubble of CO2 gas in a liquid. The index of refraction of the liquid is 1.5 times larger than that of the gas. A light ray in the liquid is incident on the bubble as shown. The black dot identifies the center of the bubble. Draw, precisely, a reasonable ray transmitted into the bubble and explain how you why it looks as you have drawn it. determinedarrow_forwardA ray is incident upon a reflective surface at an angle of 0;=16.3° relative to the direction normal to the surface (see image below to help visualize the situation). What is the angle of the reflected ray (r) relative to the normal direction (in degrees)? Incident ray 0₁ = 0₁ Normal to surface 0₁ Or Reflected ray Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is in degrees, however do not explicitly include units in your answer.

- Consider a ray diagram below that depicts familiar 4 principal rays that allow us to find the image of an object as shown. However, there are many other rays that will leave the tip of the object. Consider, for example, ray No. 5 that gets reflected from a mirror at point A. Where will the reflected ray No. 5 go? The reflected ray will pass through the tip of the image. The reflected ray will pass through the center of curvature. The reflected ray will pass through the focal point F. It's impossible to predict where the reflected ray will go.arrow_forwardThe grating equation tells you at what angles different colors of light will appear.
