109 In Fig. 34-54, a fish watcher at
point P watches a fish through a
glass wall of a fish tank. The watcher
is level with the fish; the index of re-
fraction of the glass is 8/5, and that Watcher
of the water is 4/3. The distances are
di = 8.0 cm, dz = 3.0 cm, and dz =
6.8 cm. (a) To the fish, how far away
does the watcher appear to be?
(Hint: The watcher is the object.
Light from that object passes
through the wall's outside surface, which acts as a refracting sur-
face. Find the image produced by that surface. Then treat that im-
age as an object whose light passes through the wall's inside sur-
face, which acts as another refracting surface.) (b) To the watcher,
how far away does the fish appear to be?

(b)
When light is incident on an interface between two materials with different index of
refraction, the angle of the refracted ray depends on the wavelength. However, the angle
of the reflected ray does not depend on the wavelength at all. Explain why this happens.
A ray of light is refracted through three different materials
(Fig. 23-49). Which material
has (a) the largest index of
refraction, (b) the smallest?
