    wavelength produced one more new maxima then other wavelength

    1. Light emitted by Element X passes through a diffraction grating having 1200 lines/mm. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 75.0 cm behind the grating. Bright fringes are seen on the screen at distances of 56.2 cm, 65.9 cm and 93.5 cm from the central maximum. No other fringes are seen. a) What is the value of "

    Questions

    (See attached file for full problem description) 5. The lens and mirror in Figure P23.51 are separated by 1.00 m and have focal lengths of +80.2 cm and -49.0 cm, respectively. If an object is placed 1.00 m to the left of the lens, locate the final image. State whether the image is upright or inverted, and determine the ov

    Spherical Mirror Optics

    An insect of height 2 cm is in front of a spherical mirror whose focal length has the absolute value | f | = 40 cm. The insect sees an image of itself that has a height of 0.40 cm and appears upright. 1) Is the image real or virtual? Is it on the same side of the mirror as the insect or the other side? 2) Is the mirror co

    Reflection from curved surfaces: Concave and convex mirrors.

    This problem deals with lenses, please explain using equations, and ray diagrams. A real object is at the zero end of the meter stick. A large concave mirror at the 100-cm end of a meter stick forms an image of the object at the 70-cm position. A small convex mirror placed at the 20-cm position forms a final image at the 10-c

    Convex Mirror Reflection Problem

    A candle is placed in 15.0 cm in front of a convex mirror. When the convex mirror is replaced by a plane mirror, the image moves back 7.00 cm (further away from the mirror). Find the focal length of the convex mirror.

    Fermat's Principle in Focusing by Elliptical Mirror

    (See attached file for full problem description with proper symbols and equations) --- Consider an elliptical mirror. The surface of the mirror is defined as . Using Fermat's principle show that the light leaving a point (-c,0) is focused to a point (c,0) where.

    The reflection of light in mirrors

    A concave mirror has a focal length of 30.0 cm. The distance between an object and its image is 45.0 cm. Find the object and image distances, assuming that (a) the object lies beyond the center of curvature and (b) the object lies within the focal point.

    Ray Tracing and the Mirror Equation

    Shaving/makeup mirrors typically have one flat and one concave (magnifying) surface. You find that you can project a magnified image of a light bulb onto the wall of your bathroom if you hold the mirror 1.5 m from the bulb and 3.5 m from the wall. (a) What is the magnification of the image? (b) Is the image erect or inve

    Ray tracing with mirror equation

    An object with a height of 42 cm is placed 2.0 m in front of a concave mirror with a focal length of 0.50 m. (a) Determine the approximate location and size of the image using a ray diagram. (b) Is the image upright or inverted?

    The radius of a curvature

    The radius of curvature of a spherical mirror is 32 cm. rays parallel to the axis of the mirror will be brought into focus at a point that is what distance fron the mirror? a. 8.0cm b. 32 cm c. 4.0 cm d. 16cm

    Lenses/Radius of Curvature

    Hi. Can someone please show me how to do the following problem? Thank you. "When a patient is being fitted with contact lenses, the curvature of the patient's cornea is measured with an instrument known as a keratometer. A lighted object is held near the eye, and the keratometer measures the magnification of the image formed
