Textbook Question

Chapter 10.5, Problem 1aT

Look at very distant object through a convex lens. Hold the lens at arm’s length so that you see a sharp image of the distant object.

Is the image formed by the lens in front of, behind, or on the surface of the lens? Use the method of parallax to determine the approximate distance between the image and the lens.

A meter stick, held vertically on a level ground, casts a shadow of 2meters long.Solve for the tangent of the angle that the rays of the sun make with the horizontal.Solve for the angle which the rays of the sun make with the horizontal.

For refracted light rays, the angle of refraction: is always equal to the incident angle is always greater than the incident angle is always less than the incident angle is always equal to the critical angle can be less than, greater than, or equal to angle of incidence

A fish sits at the bottom of a pond and looks upward. He is able, because of refraction, to see everything in the entire hemisphere above the water condensed down to within a narrower cone. What is the full angle of this cone?
