A camera with a 90-mm-focal-length lens is focused on an object 1.30 m from the lens. To refocus on an object 6.50 m from the lens, by how much must the distance between the lens and the sensor be changed? To refocus on the more distant object, is the lens moved toward or away from the sensor?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distance is changed by 5.4mm towards the film to refocus an object 6.5m from the lens.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Relationship between object and image distance and height.

Object’s distance is s and image distance is s’.

The relationship is 1s+1s'=1f

Object’s height is y and image height is y’,

Therefore y'=-s'sy

02

Step 2:Calculation of the required change in the distance of the lens.

Using the relationship of distance between object and the image.

The first object

s'1=sfs-f=1300*901300-90)=96.7cm

The second object

s'2=sfs-f=6500*906500-90=91.3cm

Therefore the distance that is to be changed will be,

s'1-s'2=96.7-91.3=5.4mm

When unpolarized light is incident on two crossed polarizers, no light is transmitted. A student asserted that if a third polarizer is inserted between the other two, some transmission will occur. Does this make sense? How can adding a third filter increase transmission?

On December 26, 2004, a violent earthquake of magnitude 9.1 occurred off the coast of Sumatra. This quake triggered a huge tsunami (similar to a tidal wave) that killed more than 150,000 people. Scientists observing the wave on the open ocean measured the time between crests to be 1.0 h and the speed of the wave to be 800 km>h. Computer models of the evolution of this enormous wave showed that it bent around the continents and spread to all the oceans of the earth. When the wave reached the gaps between continents, it diffracted between them as through a slit.

(a) What was the wavelength of this tsunami?

(b) The distance between the southern tip of Africa and northern Antarctica is about 4500 km, while the distance between the southern end of Australia and Antarctica is about 3700 km. As an approximation, we can model this wave’s behavior by using Fraunhofer diffraction. Find the smallest angle away from the central maximum for which the waves would cancel after going through each of these continental gaps.

A student claimed that, because of atmospheric refraction (see Discussion Question Q33.2), the sun can be seen after it has set and that the day is therefore longer than it would be if the earth had no atmosphere. First, what does she mean by saying that the sun can be seen after it has set? Second, comment on the validity of her conclusion.

In a diffraction experiment with waves of wavelength λ,there will be no intensity minima (that is, no dark fringes) if the slit width is small enough. What is the maximum slit width for which this occurs? Explain your answer.

The focal length of a simple lens depends on the color (wavelength) of light passing through it. Why? Is it possible for a lens to have a positive focal length for some colors and negative for others? Explain.
