Chapter 5: Q7DQ (page 1104)

Sometimes when looking at a window, you see two reflected images slightly displaced from each other. What causes this?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The reflection from both inner and outer surface of the glass causes two reflected images slightly displaced from each other.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Reflection of Light

When a light beam strikes a smooth surface, it bounces back in the same medium. This phenomenon is called reflection of light.

02

Double reflection

As the light from the glass of the window reflect from the inner face as well as the outer face of the glass window, and the glass window have some thickness, which makes the reflected images shifted.

Hence, the two reflected images get slightly displaced from each other.

A pencil that is 9cm long is held perpendicular to the surface of a plane mirror with the tip of the pencil lead 12cm from the mirror surface and the end of the eraser 21cm from the mirror surface. What is the length of the image of the pencil that is formed by the mirror? Which end of the image is closer to the mirror surface: the tip of the lead or the end of the eraser?

The Hubble Space Telescope has an aperture of 2.4 m and focuses visible light (380鈥�750 nm). The Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico is 305 m (1000 ft) in diameter (it is built in a mountain valley) and focuses radio waves of wavelength 75 cm. (a) Under optimal viewing conditions, what is the smallest crater that each of these telescopes could resolve on our moon? (b) If the Hubble Space Telescope were to be converted to surveillance use, what is the highest orbit above the surface of the earth it could have and still be able to resolve the license plate (not the letters, just the plate) of a car on the ground? Assume optimal viewing conditions, so that the resolution is diffraction limited.

(a) Prove that when two thin lenses with focal lengths f1and f2are placed in contact, the focal length 茠 of the combination is given by the relationship 1f=1f1+1f2 (b) A converging meniscus lens (see Fig. 34.32a) has an index of refraction of 1.55 and radii of curvature for its surfaces of magnitudes 4.50 cm and 9.00 cm. The concave surface is placed upward and filled with carbon tetrachloride (CCI4), which has n = 1.46. What is the focal length of the CCI4-glass combination?

A lens forms an image of an object. The object is 16.0 cm from the lens. The image is 12.0 cm from the lens on the same side as the object.

(a) What is the focal length of the lens? Is the lens converging or diverging?

(b) If the object is 8.50 mm tall, how tall is the image? Is it erect or inverted?

(c) Draw a principal-ray diagram.

A uniform film of TiO2 , 1036 nm thick and having index of refraction 2.62, is spread uniformly over the surface of crown glass of refractive index 1.52. Light of wavelength 520.0 nm falls at normal incidence onto the film from air. You want to increase the thickness of this film so that the reflected light cancels.

(a) What is the minimumthickness of TiO2 that you must addso the reflected light cancels as desired?

(b) After you make the adjustment in part (a), what is the path difference between the light reflected off the top of the film and the light that cancels it after traveling through the film? Express your answer in (i) nanometers and (ii) wavelengths of the light in the TiO2 film.
