Virtually any reflection problem, no matter how intimidating it may seem, can be broken down into simple parts by considering each individual reflection carefully.
View Correct
Part B Which, if any, of these scenarios produce an inverted image? Which, if any, of these scenarios produce an upright image? Sort the following scenarios into the appropriate bins. ANSWER:
View Correct
Part C Rank the images on the basis of their size. Hint C.1 Ratio of distance to focal length
You do not need to know the exact numerical values of the object distance and focal length to determine the magnification of the image. The ratio of the object distance and focal length is sufficient. For example, if the object distance is four times the focal length, the magnitude of the magnification is 1/3, regardless of the exact values of the object distance and focal length. Hint C.2 Object at the focal point
If an object is located exactly at the focal point, the image is "infinitely" large. As the object moves away from the focal point, in either direction, the image size decreases. Rank these from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. ANSWER:

Problem 23.38
An object is 15 Part A Locate the image. Express your answer using two significant figures. ANSWER: = -43 Correct in front of a concave mirror with a focal length of 23 .
Part B Is the image upright or inverted? ANSWER: The image is upright. The image is inverted. Correct
Problem 23.76
A 2.0Part A What is the focal length of the mirror? Express your answer using two significant figures. ANSWER: = -120 Answer Requested -tall object is placed in front of a mirror. A 1.0-tall upright image is formed behind the mirror, 180 from the object.
As described by the law of refraction, when light propagates through the interface between two materials with different indexes of refraction, the direction of propagation changes. If no such phenomenon is observed, it means that the two materials have very similar optical properties. Are they necessarily exactly the same material? Check all that apply. ANSWER: The two materials have matching indexes of refraction. The second material through which light propagates has a lower index of refraction. The second material through which light propagates has a higher index of refraction. The two materials are identical. Correct
By simply observing no change in the direction of propagation of light at the interface between two materials, you cannot be certain that the two materials are identical. In fact, different materials with matching indexes of refraction would produce a similar effect. For example, at the interface between glass Pyrex ( ) and glycerin ( ), no relevant change in the direction of propagation of light can be observed. Part B The same monochromatic light passes through the interface between two other unknown materials. This time the transmitted wave is observed to be farther from the normal to the interface than the incident wave. What can be said about these two materials and the light traveling through them? Hint B.1 How to approach the problem Hint not displayed Hint B.2 Law of refraction Hint not displayed Hint B.3 Find how the sines of the angles relate Hint not displayed Hint B.4 Find in which material light travels faster Hint not displayed Check all that apply. ANSWER: The second material through which the light propagates has a higher index of refraction.

The second material through which the light propagates has a lower index of refraction. As the light passes into the second material, its speed increases. As the light passes into the second material, its speed decreases. Correct
When a ray of light passes into a material having a lower index of refraction, and hence a higher wave speed, the refracted ray bends away from the normal to the interface and will appear closer to the interface than the incident ray.
Part A Find Hint A.1 , the largest value of the angle such that no light is refracted out of the prism at face AC if the prism is immersed in air.
Determine the needed angle of incidence on the glass-to-air interface using Snell's law in the regime in which there is total internal reflection. To find the relation between and the angle of incidence as the ray "tries" to move from the glass out into air, copy down the figure and continue the ray across until it actually reaches the interface. You should notice a pair of similar triangles, one containing and one containing the complement of the angle of incidence. You can use these to determine the relation between and the angle of incidence. Hint A.2 Drawing the incident ray and the reflected ray
Hint A.3
Snell's law where is the angle the light ray makes with the normal to the surface as it propagates through a material of index of refraction . , and is the angle with
respect to the normal that the continuing beam makes as it propagates through the material of index of refraction Hint A.4 Total internal reflection
When a light ray is refracted from a medium of high index of refraction into one of lower index, the refracted ray is bent away from the normal. Moreover, when the angle of refraction reaches 90 degrees, the refracted wave no longer propagates into the medium of lower index of refraction, and total internal reflection occurs. In this case, the angle of incidence has reached a critical value that can be calculated from Snell's law, and all the light is reflected back from the interface into the material of higher index. Express your answer in degrees. Ignore any reflections from the surface BC. ANSWER: = 49.8 Correct
Part B Find Hint B.1 , the largest value the angle can have without any light being refracted out of the prism at face AC if the prism is immersed in water (with index of refraction 1.33).
Express your answer in degrees. Ignore any reflections from the surface BC. ANSWER: = 30.9 Correct

Problem 23.18
A fish in a flat-sided aquarium sees a can of fish food on the counter. To the fish's eye, the can looks to be 30 cm outside the aquarium. Part A What is the actual distance between the can and the aquarium? (You can ignore the thin glass wall of the aquarium.) ANSWER: 22.6 cm Correct
Part B Now replace the lens used in Part A with another lens. The new lens is a diverging lens whose focal points are at the same distance from the lens as the focal points of the first lens. If the object is 5.00 what is the height of the image formed by the new lens? The object is still located 28.0 from the lens. Hint B.1 How to approach the problem high,
To find the image height you need to know the magnification of the new lens, which can be calculated if you know the image distance and the object distance. To find the image distance you can use the thin-lens equation, but be sure to use the correct value for the focal length. Recall that the focal length of a diverging lens is a negative quantity.

A ray that passes through the middle of a concave lens continues on its original direction with essentially no displacement after passing through the lens. Type A if you think that only diagram A is correct, type AB if you think that only diagrams A and B are correct, and so on. ANSWER: AC Answer Requested
A concave lens always forms an image that is on the same side of the lens as the object. Part B If the focal length of the concave lens is -7.50 Hint B.1 , at what distance from the lens should an object be placed so that its image is formed 3.70 from the lens?
To determine the object distance you can use the thin-lens equation, but be careful to assign the correct sign to each quantity involved in the equation. Hint B.2 The thin-lens equation is , where Hint B.3 and are the object distance and the image distance, respectively. Find the image distance for a concave lens that forms an image 3.70 from the lens?
Conventionally the image distance has a positive sign when the image is on the opposite side of the lens from the object (a real image), and a negative sign when the image is on the same side of the lens as the object (a virtual image). Express your answer in centimeters. ANSWER: = -3.70 Correct
