Question: A catfish is2.00m below the surface of a smooth lake. (a) What is the diameter of the circle on the surface through which the fish can see the world outside the water? (b) If the fish descends, does the diameter of the circle increase, decrease, or remain the same?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The diameter of the circle through which the fish can see the world outside the water will be 4.56m.
  2. If the fish descends, it will increase the diameter of the circle.

Step by step solution

01

Given

The depth of the catfish in the smooth lake is 2.00m.

02

Understanding the concept

We can draw a ray diagram for the given problem. From the ray diagram and Snell鈥檚 law of refraction, we can get the formula for the diameter of the circle. Using the given values, we can get the answer for the diameter of the circle.

Formula:

n1蝉颈苍胃1=n2蝉颈苍胃2

03

(a) Calculate the diameter of the circle through which the fish can see the world outside the water

From the above diagram, we can write that

tan90-c=DepthRadiusDiameter=2Radiustan90-c=DepthDiameter2肠辞迟胃c=DepthDiameter2迟补苍胃c=Diameter2DepthDiameter=2Depth迟补苍胃c

We have,

nw=1.33andna=1

Fromthefigure, we can write that

For air, the refractive angle will be90.

So according to Snell鈥檚 law,

nwsinc=nasinasinc=nanwsinasinc=11.33sin90sinc=0.75c=sin-10.75c=48.7

nw蝉颈苍胃c=na蝉颈苍胃a蝉颈苍胃c=nanw蝉颈苍胃a蝉颈苍胃c=11.33sin90蝉颈苍胃c=0.75c=sin-10.75c=48.7

We have

DiameterofCircle=2DepthofCatfish迟补苍胃cDiameterofCircle=22.00mtan48.7DiameterofCircle=4.56m

04

(b) Find out if the fish descends, and does it affect the diameter of the circle or not

We have

Diameterofcircle=2Depth迟补苍胃

From the above equation, we can write that

DiameterofcircleDepth

From this, we conclude that if the depth at which the catfish is present below the water surface increases, the diameter of the circle through which the fish can see the outside world also increases.

In Fig.33-38, a laser beam of power 4.60W and diameter d=2.60mm is directed upward at one circular face (of diameter d<2.60mm) of a perfectly reflecting cylinder. The cylinder is levitated because the upward radiation force matches the downward gravitational force. If the cylinder鈥檚 density is 1.20 g/cm3, what is its height H?

Question: In Fig. 33-62, a light ray in air is incident at angle 1on a block of transparent plastic with an index of refraction of. The dimensions indicated are H=2.00cmandW=3.00cm. The light passes through the block to one of its sides and there undergoes reflection (inside the block) and possibly refraction (out into the air). This is the point offirst reflection. The reflected light then passes through the block to another of its sides 鈥 a point ofsecond reflection. If 1=40, on which side is the point of (a) first reflection and (b) second reflection? If there is refraction at the point of (c) first reflection, and (d) second reflection, give the angle of refraction; if not, answer 鈥渘one鈥. If 1=70, on which side is the point of (e) first reflection and (f) second reflection? If there is refraction at the point of (g) first reflection, and (h) second reflection, give the angle of refraction; if not, answer 鈥渘one鈥.

Question: Frank D. Drake, an investigator in the SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) program, once said that the large radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico (Fig.33-36), 鈥渃an detect a signal which lays down on the entire surface of the earth a power of only one picowatt.鈥 (a) What is the power that would be received by the Arecibo antenna for such a signal? The antenna diameter is 300m.(b) What would be the power of an isotropic source at the center of our galaxy that could provide such a signal? The galactic center is 2.2104lyaway. A light-year is the distance light travels in one year.

The intensity Iof light from an isotropic point source is determined as a function of distance r from the source. The Figure gives intensity I versus the inverse square of that square r-2. The vertical axis scale is set by Is=200 w/m2, and the horizontal axis scale is set by rs-2 = 8.0 m-2. What is the power of the source?
