3. A converging lens with a focal length of 12 cm is placed at the center of a flat-end
cylindrical glass tube of length 24 cm. The lens forms an insulated, airtight seal that creates
two chambers of equal volume, and is free to slide like a piston within the cylinder. A mole
of helium is injected into the left chamber, and a mole of molecular (diatomic) hydrogen is
injected into the right chamber, and both chambers of gas are at the same temperature. A
coordinate system with the lens at x = 0 has been introduced to simplify calculations (see
"before" picture below).

With the equal-volume chambers enclosing equal numbers of moles of ideal gases at equal
temperatures, the pressures must also be equal, which means the lens/piston doesn't move.

- The law of reflection is quite useful for mirrors and other flat, shiny surfaces. (This sort of reflection is called specular reflection). However, you've likely been told that when you look at something, you are seeing light flat, shiny surfaces. (This sort of reflection is called specular reflection). However, you've likely been told that when you look at something, you are seeing light reflected from the object that you are looking at. This is reflection of a different sort: diffuse reflection. In this problem, you will see how diffuse reflection actually arises from the same law of reflection that you are accustomed to for reflections from mirrors. Mirror Submit Consider a spotlight shining onto a horizontal mirror (Figure 1). If the light from the spotlight strikes the mirror at an angle 0 to the normal, what angle , to the normal would you expect for the reflected rays? Express your answer in terms of 0.

An observer's eye is placed as shown (the observer is just barely looking over the rim of the glass). When empty, the observer can just barely see the edge of the bottom of the glass. When filled to the brim with a transparent liquid, the observer can just barely see the center of the bottom of the glass. The liquid in the drinking glass has an index of refraction of 1.15.
