Chapter 5: Q19E (page 1152)

34.19 A person swimming 0.80cm below the surface of the water in a swimming pool looks at the diving board that is directly overhead and sees the image of the board that is formed by refraction at the surface of the water. This image is a height of 5.20 m above the swimmer. What is the actual height of the diving board above the surface of the water?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The actual height of diving board above the surface of water is 3.30m.

Step by step solution

01

Formula for Spherical refracting surface with plane surface between two optical materials

nas+nbs'=0

02

Determine the actual height of diving board above the surface of water

There is a special case for the spherical refracting surface which is the plane surface between two materials where R=鈭�. In this case, use the below equation for a plane refracting surface in the form

nas+nbs'=0

Wherena is the refractive index of the air and equals 1,nb is the refractive index of water and equals 1.333. The distance s is the distance from the diving board to the person.s' is the apparent depth and equals s'=5.20m-0.80m=4.40m. So, solve equation for s

s=-(nanb)s' (1)

Put the values in above equation,

s=-(nanb)s'=-(1.01.333)-4.40m=3.30m

Hence, the actual height of diving board above the surface of water is 3.30m.

Two small stereo speakers A and B that are 1.40 m apart are sending out sound of wavelength 34 cm in all directions and all in phase. A person at point P starts out equidistant from both speakers and walks so that he is always 1.50 m from speaker B (Fig. E35.1). For what values of x will the sound this person hears be (a) maximally reinforced, (b) cancelled? Limit your solution to the cases where x 鈮�1.50 m.

You are in your car driving on a highway at 25m/swhen you glance in the passenger-side mirror (a convex mirror with radius of curvature 150 cm) and notice a truck approaching. If the image of the truck is approaching the vertex of the mirror at a speed of 1.9 m/swhen the truck is 2.0 m/sfrom the mirror, what is the speed of the truck relative to the highway?

Laser light of wavelength 632.8 nm falls normally on a slit that is 0.0250 mm wide. The transmitted light is viewed on a distant screen where the intensity at the center of the central bright fringe is 8.50 W/m2. (a) Find the maximum number of totally dark fringes on the screen, assuming the screen is large enough to show them all. (b) At what angle does the dark fringe that is most distant from the center occur? (c) What is the maximum intensity of the bright fringe that occurs immediately before the dark fringe in part (b)? Approximate the angle at which this fringe occurs by assuming it is midway between the angles to the dark fringes on either side of it.

Short-wave radio antennas A and B are connected to the same transmitter and emit coherent waves in phase and with the same frequency f . You must determine the value of f and the placement of the antennas that produce a maximum intensity through constructive interference at a receiving antenna that is located at point P, which is at the corner of your garage. First you place antenna A at a point 240.0 m due east of P. Next you place antenna B on the line that connects A and P, a distance x due east of P, where x<240.0 m. Then you measure that a maximum in the total intensity from the two antennas occurs when x=210.0 m, 216.0 m, and 222.0 m. You don鈥檛 investigate smaller or larger values of x. (Treat the antennas as point sources.) (a) What is the frequency f of the waves that are emitted by the antennas? (b) What is the greatest value of x, with x<240.0 m, for which the interference at P is destructive?

When viewing a paper of art that is behind glass, one often is affected by the light that is reflected off the front of the glass (called glare), which can make it difficult to see the art clearly. One solution is to coat the outer surface of the glass with a film to cancel part of the glare. (a) If the glass has a refractive index 1.62 and you use TiO2, which has an index of refraction of 2.62 , as the coating, what is the minimum film thickness that will cancel light of wavelength 505nm? (b) If this coating is too thin to stand up to wear, what other thickness would also work? Find only the three thinnest ones.
