- Q.7 A retroreflector is any optic that reflects an incident ray, such that the exiting ray is parallel (but opposite) to the incoming ray. One version of a "cat's eye" retroreflector uses a thin positive lens of focal length fand a flat mirror as shown below. (a) Determine the matrix of retroreflector shown in Fig. Q7. (b) Use the matrix method to prove that it is, indeed, a retroreflector. Fig. Q7arrow_forwardA small drop of water that is free to fall in air will contract into a spherical ball. Suppose that sunlight (this will be as if from infinity) passes into the drop. Approximately where will an image of the Sun form? Water has an index of refraction of about 1.33 for visible light, and to answer this question consider what happens when light passes through the first surface from air into the water. Where does it go? Hint: If in doubt about your math, try an experiment at home. You can use sunlight or a distant flashlight to illuminate a suspended water drop. At the back surface of the drop. Spherical drops cannot form an image. Close to the back far side of the drop, on the outside. Close to the back side of the drop, on the insidearrow_forwardA person is standing a distance d = 1.35 m away from a mirror, which is m = 0.870 m above the ground, as shown in Figure 1.

(Measure their height h from the ground to their eye, and don't worry about the small distance from their eye to the top of their head, which we do not have enough information to determine).arrow_forward
