A concave mirror has a focal length of 15 cm. What is the magnification if the object's distance is 105 cm?A healthy person has a body temperature of 98.6 oF. Use the properties of blackbody radiation to work out the precise wavelength of the peak radiation. (Hint: Convert Fahrenheit degrees into Kelvin (absolute) degrees.)
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.

For a science project on solar power, a student uses a 24-cmcm-diameter converging mirror with a focal length of 51 cmcm to focus sunlight onto an object. This casts an image of the sun on the object. For the most intense heat, the image of the sun should be in focus. The intensity of the incoming sunlight is 1050 W/m2W/m2.

This heated fluid is pumped to a heat exchanger, where its heat energy is transferred to another system that is used to generate steam—and so generate electricity through a conventional steam cycle. Shows such a working system in southern California. Concave mirrors are used to concentrate the sunlight onto the pipe. The mirror has the approximate shape of a section of a cylinder. For the problem, assume that the mirror is exactly one-quarter of a full cylinder. a.

- 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.

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.
