Concept explainers

Applications Of Reflection Of Light

When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.

Sign Convention for Mirrors

A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

Question 5. You have an optical system including 2 lenses with focal length fi and f2 and distance L between them. Calculate ABCD matrices for this system.
You have a concave spherical mirror (the same holds if you had a convex mirror) If the value of q(the distance from the image to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 1.45m and the distance of p (the distance from the object to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 4.11m, what is the focal length of the mirror? The magnification equation and the sign convention for q imply that real images of real objects are always inverted (if both p and q are positive, m is negative); virtual images of real objects are always upright (if p is positive and q is negative, m is positive). Keeping the signs of p and q straight in your mind is the most challenging aspect of mirrors (and lenses). Fortunately, table 23.2 summarizes when p and q are positive and when they are negative.

The kitten, Simba (Fig. A) and the kitten, Bella (Fig. B) are inspecting a goldfish swimming inside a round aquarium filled with water (nwater = 1.33). The magnitude of the radius of the round surface of the aquarium is 16 cm. The kittens are in air (nair=1.00). In order to calculate the apparent depth of the fish as viewed by the kittens, you need to use the equation shown in Fig. C. Identify the following (Please note that I am not asking you to do the calculation) n₁ P Fig. A + n₂ 9 = (n₂-n₁) R Fig. C Fig. A: n₁ = Fig. B: n₁ = ; n₂ = _; n₂ = Fig. B ; R = ; R =
When two lenses are used in combination, the first one forms an image that then serves as the object for the second lens. The magnification of the combination is the ratio of the height of the final image to the height of the object. This is equal to the product of the separate magnification values mm of each lens. In equation form mtotal=(m1)(m2). A 1.20 cm tall object is 50.0 cm to the left of a lens of focal length of magnitude 40.0 cm . A second lens, this one having a focal length of magnitude 60.0 cm, is located 300 cm to the right of the first lens along the same optic axis. A) Find the location and height of the image (call it I2) formed by the lens with a focal length of 40.0 cm if the first lens is diverging and the second lens is a converging. B) I2 is now the object for the second lens. Find the location and height of the image produced by the second lens.
A convex spherical mirror has a radius of curvature, R = -16.8 cm. If an image formed by reflection is to have a magnification of 0.489, at what distance in centimeters should an object be placed from the mirror?
You have a concave spherical mirror (the same holds if you had a convex mirror) If the value of q (the distance from the image to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 0.92m and the distance of p (the distance from the object to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 3.79m, what is the focal length of the mirror? The magnification equation and the sign convention for q imply that real images of real objects are always inverted (if both p and q are positive, m is negative); virtual images of real objects are always upright (if p is positive and q is negative, m is positive). Keeping the signs of p and q straight in your mind is the most challenging aspect of mirrors (and lenses). Fortunately, table 23.2 summarizes when p and q are positive and when they are negative.
The smallest object we can resolve with our eye is limited by the size of the light receptor cells in the retina. In order for us to distinguish any detail in an object, its image cannot be any smaller than a single retinal cell. Although the size depends on the type of cell (rod or cone), a diameter of a few microns (μm) is typical near the center of the eye. We shall model the eye as a sphere 2.50 cm in diameter with a single thin lens at the front and the retina at the rear, with light receptor cells 5.0 μm in diameter. (a) What is the smallest object you can resolve at a near point of 25 cm? (b) What angle is subtended by this object at the eye? Express your answer in units of minutes (1°=60 min), and compare it with the typical experimental value of about 1.0 min. (Note: There are other limitations, such as the bending of light as it passes through the pupil, but we shall ignore them here.)
