A biologist keeps a specimen of his favorite beetle embedded in a cube of polystyrene plastic. The hapless bug appears to be within the plastic. What is the beetle's actual distance beneath the surface?
FIGURE shows a transparent hemisphere with radius and index of refraction localid="1651380892242" What is the maximum distance localid="1651380447864" for which a light ray parallel to the axis refracts out through the curved surface?

A light beam passing from medium 2 to medium 1 is refracted as shown in FIGURE Q34.4. Is n1 larger than n2, is n1smaller than n2, or is there not enough information to tell? Explain

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?
