Pounding a nail into wood makes the nail warmer. Consider a 5 − g steel nail 6 cm long and a hammer that exerts an average force of 500 N on the nail when it is being driven into a piece of wood. Show that the increase in the nail’s temperature will be 13.3 ° C . (Assume that the specific heat capacity of steel is 450 J/kg•°C .)

two satellites are in circular orbits around the Earth. Satellite A is at an altitude equal to the Earth's radius, while satellite B is at an altitude equal to twice the Earth's radius. What is the ratio of their periods, Tb/Ta
Fresnel lens: You would like to design a 25 mm diameter blazed Fresnel zone plate with a first-order power of
+1.5 diopters. What is the lithography requirement (resolution required) for making this lens that is designed
for 550 nm? Express your answer in units of μm to one decimal point.
Fresnel lens: What would the power of the first diffracted order of this lens be at wavelength of 400 nm?
Express your answer in diopters to one decimal point.
Eye: A person with myopic eyes has a far point of 15 cm. What power contact lenses does she need to correct
her version to a standard far point at infinity? Give your answer in diopter to one decimal point.
Paraxial design of a field flattener. Imagine your optical system has Petzal curvature of the field with radius
p. In Module 1 of Course 1, a homework problem asked you to derive the paraxial focus shift along the axis
when a slab of glass was inserted in a converging cone of rays. Find or re-derive that result, then use it to
calculate the paraxial radius of curvature of a field flattener of refractive index n that will correct the observed
Petzval. Assume that the side of the flattener facing the image plane is plano. What is the required radius of
the plano-convex field flattener? (p written as rho )
