Get started for freeAn object is from a screen. What are the radii of a symmetric converging plastic lens (i.e., two equally curved surfaces) that will form an image on the screen twice the height of the object?
A biologist keeps a specimen of his favorite beetle embedded in a cube of polystyrene plastic. The hapless bug appears to be within the plastic. What is the beetle's actual distance beneath the surface?
Shown from above in FIGURE P34.54 is one corner of a rectangular box filled with water. A laser beam starts from side A of the container and enters the water at position x. You can ignore the thin walls of the container.
a. If , does the laser beam refract back into the air through side B or reflect from side B back into the water? Determine the angle of refraction or reflection.
b. Repeat part a for .
c. Find the minimum value of x for which the laser beam passes through side B and emerges into the air.
A lens placed in front of an object creates an upright image twice the height of the object. The lens is then moved along the optical axis until it creates an inverted image twice the height of the object. How far did the lens move?
A -tall object is in front of a converging lens that has a focal length.
Use ray tracing to find the position and height of the image. To do this accurately, use a ruler or paper with a grid. Determine the image distance and image height by making measurements on your diagram.
Calculate the image position and height. Compare with your ray-tracing answers in part .
