Chapter 34, Problem 3Q
Figure 34-27 is an overhead view of a mirror maze based on floor sections that are equilateral triangles. Every wall within the maze is mirrored. If you stand at entrance x, (a) which of the maze monsters a, b, and c hiding in the maze can you see along the virtual hallways extending from entrance x; (b) how many times does each visible monster appear in a hallway; and (c) what is at the far end of a hallway?

I'm going to install a placard on the school bulletin board. The placard is 2 meters long and the bottom of the placard is 1 meter above the eye level. How many meters away is the position of the placard's lowest to highest angle from the notice board?
The smallest object we can resolve with our eye is limited by the size of the light receptor cells in the retina. In order for us to distinguish any detail in an object, its image cannot be any smaller than a single retinal cell. Although the size depends on the type of cell (rod or cone), a diameter of a few microns 1mm2 is typical near the center of the eye. We shall model the eye as a sphere 2.50 cm in diameter with a single thin lens at the front and the retina at the rear, with light receptor cells 5.0 mm in diameter. (a) What is the smallest object you can resolve at a near point of 25 cm? (b) What angle is subtended by this object at the eye? Express your answer in units of minutes (1° = 60 min), and compare it with the typical experimental value of about 1.0 min.

- A physicist is hired to do some decorating at a celebration. The client is very keen on including some lighting effects, and in particular wants to have 365 stripes of yellow light (581.0 nm) evenly distributed on a 5.00 m Plexiglas board.a) Draw a labelled sketch of the display installation using an air wedge.b) Calculate the number of pieces of paper (each 1/10th of a millimeter) the physicist would need to insert at one end of the boards to make this happen.arrow_forwardThe smallest object we can resolve with our eye is limited by the size of the light receptor cells in the retina. In order for us to distinguish any detail in an object, its image cannot be any smaller than a single retinal cell. Although the size depends on the type of cell (rod or cone), a diameter of a few microns (μm) is typical near the center of the eye. We shall model the eye as a sphere 2.50 cm in diameter with a single thin lens at the front and the retina at the rear, with light receptor cells 5.0 μm in diameter. (a) What is the smallest object you can resolve at a near point of 25 cm? (b) What angle is subtended by this object at the eye? Express your answer in units of minutes (1°=60 min), and compare it with the typical experimental value of about 1.0 min. (Note: There are other limitations, such as the bending of light as it passes through the pupil, but we shall ignore them here.)arrow_forwardThe normal human eye has maximum visual acuity with a pupil size of about 3 mm. For larger pupils, acuity decreases due to increasing aberrations; for smaller pupils, acuity decreases due to increasing effects of diffraction. Ifyour pupil diameter is 2.0 mm, as it would be in fairly bright light, what is the smallest diameter circle that you can barely see as a circle, rather than just a dot, if the circle is at your near point, 25 cm from your eye? Assume the light’s wavelength in air is 600 nm and the index of refraction inside theeye is 1.33.arrow_forward
- Light traveling through medium 3 (n3 = 2.4) is incident on the interface with medium 2 (n2 = 2.0) at angle θ. If light does enter into medium 2 but no light enters into medium 1 (n1 = 1.6), what can we conclude about the range of values for θ?arrow_forwardReview Conceptual Example 4 as background for this problem. A man in a boat is looking straight down at a fish in the water (n = 1.333) directly beneath him. The fish is looking straight up at the man. They are equidistant from the air/water interface. To the man, the fish appears to be 2.1 m beneath his eyes. To the fish, how far above its eyes does the man appear to be? Number i Unitsarrow_forwardIn the figure, light is incident at angle θ1 = 37˚ on a boundary between two transparent materials. Some of the light travels down through the next three layers of transparent materials, while some of it reflects upward and then escapes into the air.

You are having a discussion with your two friends about whether the shark will be able to see the meat. Friend 1 – says that the shark will not be able to see the meat. Friend 2 claims that the shark can see the meat, only the shark will perceive the meat to be higher than it is in reality.

- A small lamp at the bottom of a pool of 2 m deep in water (n = 4/3), emits light upwards in all directions (isotropic source). On the surface of the water, a circular illuminated area appears due to the refraction of the light rays. Determine the radius R of this illuminated area.arrow_forwardIn the figure, light is incident at angle θ1 = 40.1° on a boundary between two transparent materials. Some of the light travels down through the next 3 layers of transparent materials, while some of it reflects upward and then escapes into the air.
