Calculate the index of refraction for a medium in which the speed of light is , and identify the most likely substance based on Table 25.1.
What are the differences between real and virtual images? How can you tell (by looking) whether an image formed by a single lens or mirror is real or virtual?
Your camera鈥檚 zoom lens has an adjustable focal length ranging from to mm. What is its range of powers?
You can determine the index of refraction of a substance by determining its critical angle.
(a) What is the index of refraction of a substance that has a critical angle of 68.4潞 when submerged in water? What is the substance, based on Table 25.1?
(b) What would the critical angle be for this substance in air?

Referring to the electric room heater considered in the first example in this section, calculate the intensity of IR radiation in \({\bf{W}}/{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\) projected by the concave mirror on a person \({\bf{3}}.{\bf{00}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{m}}\) away. Assume that the heating element radiates \({\bf{1500}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{W}}\) and has an area of \({\bf{100}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{c}}{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\), and that half of the radiated power is reflected and focused by the mirror.
