Chapter 34: Q. 8 (page 990)

A laser beam is incident on the left mirror in FIGURE EX34.8. Its initial direction is parallel to a line that bisects the mirrors. What is the angle 蠒of the reflected laser beam?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Angle of the reflected shaft,蠒=20掳

Step by step solution

01

The Law of reflection

胃i=胃r

02

Derive the values

In FIGURE 34.8, a ray is incident on the left mirror parallel to a line that bisects the mirror.

Observing the geometry of FIGURE below and applying the law of reflection, we'll see that

30掳+蠒+40掳=90掳

蠒=90掳-30掳+40掳

蠒=20掳

A microscope is focused on a black dot. When a 1.00-cm-thick piece of plastic is placed over the dot, the microscope objective has to be raised 0.40cm to bring the dot back into focus. What is the index of refraction of the plastic?

Some electro-optic materials can change their index of refraction in response to an applied voltage. Suppose a planoconvex lens (flat on one side, a 15.0 cm radius of curvature on the other), made from a material whose normal index of refraction is 1.500, is creating an image of an object that is 50.0 cm from the lens. By how much would the index of refraction need to be increased to move the image 5.0 cm closer to the lens?

A keratometer is an optical device used to measure the radius of curvature of the eye鈥檚 cornea鈥攊ts entrance surface. This measurement is especially important when fitting contact lenses, which must match the cornea鈥檚 curvature. Most light incident on the eye is transmitted into the eye, but some light reflects from the cornea, which, due to its curvature, acts like a convex mirror. The keratometer places a small, illuminated ring of known diameter 7.5 cm in front of the eye. The optometrist, using an eyepiece, looks through the center of this ring and sees a small virtual image of the ring that appears to be behind the cornea. The optometrist uses a scale inside the eyepiece to measure the diameter of the image and calculate its magnification. Suppose the optometrist finds that the magnification for one patient is 0.049. What is the absolute value of the radius of curvature of her cornea?

The object and lens in FIGURE Q34.7 are positioned to form a well-focused, inverted image on a viewing screen. Then a piece of cardboard is lowered just in front of the lens to cover the top half of the lens. Describe what you see on the screen when the cardboard is in place.

FIGURE EX34.16 shows a transparent hemisphere with radiusRand index of refraction n. What is the maximum distancedfor which a light ray parallel to the axis refracts out through the curved surface?
