Chapter 5: Q2E (page 1151)

The image of a tree just covers the length of a plane mirror tall when the mirror is held 35cm from the eye. The tree is 28m from the mirror. What is its height?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The height is 3.24m.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the height using lateral magnification method

Given that height of the image of the tree is h'=4cm, the distance between the tree and the mirror is s=28mand from the eye is smirror=35cm.

The whole situation is shown in the following figure

Using the concept of lateral magnification

h'h=smirrorstreeh=streesmirrorh'h=smirror+ssmirrorh'h=0.35+280.35脳0.04h=3.24m

So, the height is 3.24m.

Could an experiment similar to Young鈥檚 two-slit experiment be performed with sound? How might this be carried out? Does it matter that sound waves are longitudinal and electromagnetic waves are transverse? Explain.

When a thin oil film spreads out on a puddle of water, the thinnest part of the film looks dark in the resulting interference pattern. What does this tell you about the relative magnitudes of the refractive indexes of oil and water?

Atmospheric haze is due to water droplets or smoke particles (鈥渟mog鈥�). Such haze reduces visibility by scattering light so that the light from distant objects becomes randomized and images become indistinct. Explain why visibility through haze can be improved by wearing red-tinted sunglasses, which filter out blue light.

Can water waves be reflected and refracted? Give examples. Does Huygens鈥檚 principle apply to water waves? Explain.

Figure 31.12 (Section 31.2) shows a loudspeaker system. Low-frequency sounds are produced by the woofer, which is a speaker with a large diameter; the tweeter, a speaker with a smaller diameter, produces high-frequency sounds. Use diffraction ideas to explain why the tweeter is more effective for distributing high-frequency sounds uniformly over a room than is the woofer.
