You may have noticed that the eyes of cats appear to glow green in low light. This effect is due to the reflection of light by the tapetum lucidum, a highly reflective membrane just behind the retina of the eye. Light that has passed through the retina without hitting photoreceptors is reflected back to the retina, thus enabling the animal to see much better than humans in low light.
Suppose the eye of a cat is 1.34 cm in diameter. Assume that the light enters the eye traveling parallel to the principal axis of the lens.
If some of the light reflected off the tapetum lucidum escapes being absorbed by the retina, what is the horizontal distance ?from the retina to the point where the light will be focused? Neglect any effects due to the liquid in the eye.
x = ? cm
The refractive index of the liquid in the eye is about 1.4. How does this affect the location of the image relative to where it would be if the eye were filled with air?
A laser beam of intensity 1.03 x 103 W/m² with a wavelength of 576 nm is incident on an opaque screen with a tiny circular
aperture of radius 1.01 x 107 m. Apply the Huygens-Fresnel principle to find the intensity of the diffracted light at a
distance of 1.03 cm from the center of the aperture.
1.03e-08 W/m^2 X
A film on a lens with an index of refraction of 1.5 is 1.0 ×× 10−7−7 m thick and is illuminated with white light. The index of refraction of the film is 1.4.
For what wavelength of visible light will the lens be nonreflecting?

When light reflects off a surface, we perceive the color or colors that are reflected; other colors are absorbed by the material. Which TWO of the following statements are correct? Because leaves on a plant reflect green light when illuminated by white light, other colors are absorbed and are therefore necessary for photosynthesis. If a yellow light illuminates a white book, the reflection will cause the red and green cones of an observer to be stimulated and will send a signal to the brain by way of the optic nerve. If both a red light and a green light illuminate a white book, the reflection will cause the blue cones of an observer to be stimulated and will send a signal to the brain by way of the optic nerve.
