Samurai Fishing A humorous scene in Akira Kurosawa’s classic film The Seven Samurai shows the young samurai Kikuchiyo wading into a small stream and plucking a fish from it for his dinner (a) As Kikuchiyo looks through the water to the fish, does he see it in the general direction of point 1 or point 2 in Figure 26-63 (b) If the fish looks up at Kikuchiyo does it see Kikuchiyo’s head in the general direction of point 3 or point 4?

1) The Apollo 11 astronauts set up a panel of efficient corner cube retroreflectors on the Moon's
surface. The speed of light can be found by measuring the time interval required for a laser beam to
travel from Earth, reflect from the panel, and return to Earth. If this interval is measured to be 2.51 s,
what is the measured speed of light? Take the center-tocenter distance from Earth to Moon to be
3.84 x 10* m, and do not ignore the sizes of the Earth and Moon.
7) Consider the situation in the figure - a student diver in a pool and an instructor on the edge, outside the water. Since the indices of refraction of air and water are different, the light rays coming from the diver and the instructor are refracted at the surface, changing their apparent position with respect to each other. The diver sees the instructor at an apparent angle of θa = 35°, measured from the normal to the interface.
Randomized Variables
θa = 35°
a) Find the height of the instructor’s head above the water in meters, noting that you will first have to calculate the angle of incidence (you can take the indices of refraction to be na = 1 for air and nw = 1.33 for water).
b) Find the apparent depth of the diver’s head below water as seen by the instructor in meters, assuming the diver and his image both have the same horizontal distance along the surface of the water.

- The far point of a myopic administrator is 50.0 cm. (a) What is the relaxed power of his eyes? (b) If he has the normal 8.00% ability to accommodate, what is the closest object lie can see clearly?arrow_forwardIn Section 9.6, we described how the speed of light varies with wavelength (or frequency) for transparent solids. But the speed of light in matter is also a function of temperature and pressure. This dependence is most marked for gases and is instrumental in producing such things as mirages and atmospheric refraction, the latter phenomenon being the displacement of an astronomical object (like the Sun or another star) from its true position because of the passage of its light through the atmosphere. Because Earth’s atmosphere is a gaseous mixture and easily compressed, its density is highest near Earth’s surface and gradually declines with altitude. (Refer to the discussion in Section 4.4 and Figure 4.29.) Thus, the speed of light in the atmosphere is lowest near the surface and gradually gets higher, approaching c as one goes farther and farther into space. Using this fact and the law of refraction, sketch the path a light ray from the Sun would follow upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, and predict the apparent position of the Sun relative to its true position (Figure 9.85). What does this tell you about the actual location of the Sun’s disk relative to your local horizon when you see it apparently setting brilliantly in the west in the evening?arrow_forwardA fish is 3.25 m below the surface of still water (Fig. P38.16). You do not want the fish to see your fishing boat. Is it possible to place your boat so that total internal reflection keeps it hidden from the fish? If so, explain how this is done. If not, explain why not. FIGURE P38.16 Problems 16 and 17.arrow_forward
- The accommodation limits for a nearsighted persons eyes are 18.0 cm and 80.0 cm. When he wears his glasses, he can see faraway objects clearly. At what minimum distance is he able to see objects clearly?arrow_forwardPierre de Fermat (16011665) showed that whenever light travels from one point to another, its actual path is the path that requires the smallest time interval. This statement is known as Fermats principle. The simplest example is for light propagating in a homogeneous medium. It moves in a straight line because a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. Derive Snells law of refraction from Fermats principle. Proceed as follows. In Figure P34.54, a light ray travels from point P in medium 1 to point Q in medium 2. The two points are, respectively, at perpendicular distances a and b from the interface. The displacement from P to Q has the component d parallel to the interface, and we let x represent the coordinate of the point where the ray enters the second medium. Let t = 0 be the instant the light starts from P. (a) Show that the time at which the light arrives at Q is t=r1v1+r2v2=n1a2+x2c+n2b2+(dx)2c (b) To obtain the value of x for which t has its minimum value, differentiate t with respect to x and set the derivative equal to zero. Show that the result implies n1xa2+x2=n2(dx)b2+(dx)2 (c) Show that this expression in turn gives Snells law. n1sin1=n2sin2 Figure P34.54 Problems 54 and 55.arrow_forwardA person spear fishing from a boat sees a stationary fish a few meters away in a direction about 30 below the horizontal.
