- How can you use total internal reflection to estimate the index of refraction of a medium?arrow_forwardThe object in Figure P23.52 is mid-way between the lens and the mirror, which are separated by a distance d = 25.0 cm. The magnitude of the mirrors radius of curvature is 20.0 cm, and the lens has a focal length of 16.7 cm. (a) Considering only the light that leaves the object and travels first toward the mirror, locate the final image formed by this system. (b) Is the image real or virtual? (c) Is it upright or inverted? (d) What is the overall magnification of the image?

The lens is in front of a concave spherical mirror with the radius of curvature R = 8.00 cm. Assume the focal points F1 and F2 of the lens are 5.00 cm from the center of the lens, (a) Determine the index of refraction of the lens material. The lens and mirror are 20.0 cm apart, and an object is placed 8.00 cm to the left of the lens.

- (i) An object is plated at a position p f from a concave mirror as shown in Figure CQ39.12a, where f is the focal length of the mirror. In a finite time interval, the object is moved to the right to a position at the focal point F of the mirror. Show that the image of the object moves at a speed greater than the speed of light. (ii) A laser pointer is suspended in a horizontal plane and set into rapid rotation as shown in Figure CQ39 12b. Show that the spot of light it produces on a distant screen can move across the screen at a speed greater than the speed of light. (If you carry out this experiment. make sure the direct laser light cannot enter a person's eyes.) (iii) Argue that the experiments in parts (i) and (ii) do not invalidate the principle that no material, no energy, and no information can move faster than light moves in a vacuum. Figure CQ39.12arrow_forwardA person looking into an empty container is able to see the far edge of the containers bottom, as shown in Figure P22.23a. The height of the container is h, and its width is d. When the container is completely filled with a fluid of index of refraction n and viewed from the same angle, the person can see the center of a coin at the middle of the containers bottom, as shown in Figure P22.23b. (a) Show that the ratio h/d is given by hd=n214n2 (b) Assuming the container has a width of 8.00 cm and is filled with water, use the expression above to find the height of the container.arrow_forwardLight traveling in a medium of index of refraction n1 is incident on another medium having an index of refraction n2. Under which of the following conditions can total internal reflection occur at the interface of the two media? (a) The indices of refraction have the relation n2 n1. (b) The indices of refraction have the relation n1 n2. (c) Light travels slower in the second medium than in the first. (d) The angle of incidence is less than the critical angle. (e) The angle of incidence must equal the angle of refraction.arrow_forward
- N A fish is 3.25 m below the surface of still water. Because of total internal reflection, it is hidden from the view of a fisher in a boat on the water as long as the boat is outside a circle of radius r. The center of the circle is directly above the fish (Fig. P38.16). Find the minimum value of r.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_forwardFor specular reflection, what is the situation with an angle of incidence of (a) 0 and (b) 90?arrow_forward

The light ray experiences refraction at the first interface when it enters the glass from the water and again at the second interface when it exits the glass into the air.
