Chapter 35, Problem 35.4QQ
In photography, lenses in a camera use refraction to form an image on a light-sensitive surface. Ideally, you want all the colors in the light from the object being photographed to be refracted by the same amount. Of the materials shown in Figure 34.20, which would you choose for a single-element camera lens? (a) crown glass (b) acrylic (c) fused quartz (d) impossible to determine

An object is placed halfway between a planar (flat) mirror and a diverging lens with a focal
length of -25cm. The distance between the mirror and the lens is 30cm. You view the image of
the object's reflection in the planar mirror by looking through the lens. Where does this image
appear?
Light with a wavelength of 420nm in air is incident on a thin film of water (n=1.333) on top of
a plate of glass (n=1.56). Calculate the two smallest thickness for the water film that will

of distances from the camera?
B) How is the eye able to place clear images on the retina of objects that are a variety of distances from the eye?

Background: A group of physics students are playing with lasers. The laser they have decided to use emits a 400 nm wavelength of light.
Question 19: This laser light bounces from a mirror, continues through air, n = 1.0, to a piece of glass, n = 1.5, at an angle of 25° from the normal. What will be the lasers refracted angle inside the glass?

If the coating material has an index of refraction n = 1.36 and the glasses lens has an index of refraction n=1.52, what is the thickness of the thinnest possible coating layer that would eliminate blue light reflections?arrow_forwardOptical fibers utilize total internal reflection (TIR) to confine and guide light. They are typically used in materials processing as a means of delivering light from a laser source to a processing head. Other applications include telecommunications, spectroscopy, illumination and sensors. A particularly common form of optical fiber is a step-index fiber, shown in Figure 1. Step-index fibers have an inner core made from a material with a refractive index (ncore) that is higher than the surrounding cladding layer (nclad). Within the fiber, a critical angle of incidence (θcrit) exists such that light will reflect off the core/cladding interface by TIR, as opposed to refracting into the fiber cladding. To fulfil the conditions for TIR to occur, the angle of incidence of light launched into the fiber must be less than a certain angle, which is defined as the acceptance angle (θacc). The critical angle for TIR in a given fiber can be calculated on the basis of the refractive indices of…arrow_forward
