One of the contests at the school carnival is to throw a spear at an underwater target lying flat on the bottom of a pool. The water is 1.0 m deep. You’re standing on a small stool that places your eyes 3.0 m above the bottom of the pool. As you look at the target, your gaze is 30° below horizontal. At what angle below horizontal should you throw the spear in order to hit the target? Your raised arm brings the spear point to the level of your eyes as you throw it, and over this short distance you can assume that the spear travels in a straight line rather than a parabolic trajectory.
A laser beam in air is incident on a liquid at an angle of with respect to the normal. The laser beam's angle in the liquid is . What is the liquid's index of refraction?
Find the focal length of the meniscus polystyrene plastic lens in FIGURE .

To determine the focal length of a lens, you place the lens in front of a small lightbulb and then adjust a viewing screen to get a sharply focused image. Varying the lens position produces the following data:

Use the best-fit line of an appropriate graph to determine the focal length of the lens.
An object is in front of a converging lens with a focal length of . Use ray tracing to determine the location of the image. Is the image upright or inverted?
