A large hall in a museum has a niche in one wall. On the floor plan, the niche appears as a semicircular indentation of radius 2.50 m. A tourist stands on the centerline of the niche, 2.00 m out from its deepest point, and whispers “Hello.” Where is the sound concentrated after reflection from the niche?

You sight along the rim of a glass with vertical sides so that the top rim is lined up with the opposite edge of the bottom (Fig.a). The glass is a thin-walled, hollow cylinder 16.0 cm high. The diameter of the top and bottom of the glass is 8.0 cm. While you keep your eye in the same position, a friend fills the glass with a transparent liquid, and you then see a dime that is lying at the center of the bottom of the glass (Fig.b). What is the index of refraction of the liquid?
