In recent years, physicists have learned to create metamaterials— engineered materials not found in nature—with negative indices of refraction. It’s not yet possible to form a lens from a material with a negative index of refraction, but researchers are optimistic. Suppose you had a planoconvex lens (flat on one side, a 15 cm radius of curvature on the other) that is made from a metamaterial with n = -1.25. If you place an object 12 cm from this lens,
(a) what type of image will be formed and
(b) where will the image be located?
Find the focal length of the meniscus polystyrene plastic lens in FIGURE .

An object is in front of a concave mirror with a focal length of . Use ray tracing to locate the image. Is the image upright or inverted?
A point source of light illuminates an aperture away. A wide bright patch of light appears on a screen behind the aperture. How wide is the aperture?
A laser beam is incident on the left mirror in FIGURE EX. Its initial direction is parallel to a line that bisects the mirrors. What is the angle of the reflected laser beam?
