    Optics: Point of Refraction

    Given a hemisphere of radius r defined by: x = r*cos(a) y = r*sin(a) where -pi/2 <= a <= pi/2 If the hemisphere describes a boundary between two interfaces having indices of refraction n (outside the hemisphere) and m (inside the hemisphere) and assuming the light strikes the hemisphere at point {x,y} with angle a (meanin

    Please, show me how you got the answers and give me the answers. Thanks

    1. Light with a wavelength of 486 nm in air is passed through glass with an index of refraction of 1.54. (a) What is the wavelength of the light in the glass? What is the frequency of the light (b) in air and (c) in the glass? 2. Using Huygens' principle (rather than Snell's law), find the angle of refraction when light is in

    Optics and Eyeglasses

    1. A eyeglass lens has strength of +5.50 diopters. What is the focal length of the lens? 2. A farsighted eye has a near point of 150 cm. Objects closer than 150 cm are not seen clearly. A converging lens is used to permit clear vision of a book placed 25 cm in front of the eye. Find the focal length of the lens and express its

    Optics: Double-Slit Arrangement

    In a double-slit arrangement the slits are separated by a distance equal to 100 times the wavelength of the light passing through the slits. (a) What is the angular separation in radians between the central maximum and an adjacent maximum? (b) What is the distance between these maxima on a screen 50.0 cm from the slits?

    Optics and Magnification on Objects

    Please help with 48, 56, 62, 72, 86 ONLY 48) What is the magnification of the object when the object is 35 cm from the lens (see attachment please)

    Optics - Lens Power

    Reading glasses of what power (D) are needed for a person whose near point is 121cm, so that he can read a computer screen at 48.8cm? Assume a lens eye distance of 1.83cm.

    Geometrical optics problem.

    Geometrical Optics (Reflection of Light)

    Standing 2.0 m in front of a small vertical mirror, you see the reflection of your belt buckle, which is 0.70 m below your eyes. What is the vertical location of the mirror relative to the level of your eyes and what angle do your eyes make with the horizontal when you look at the buckle? If you now move backward until you are

    Form images with a plane mirror; minimum height of mirror

    You are 1.8 m tall and stand 3.0 m from a plane mirror that extends vertically upward from the floor. On the floor 1.5 m in front of the mirror is a small table, 0.80 m high. What is the minimum height the mirror must have for you to be able to see the top of the table in the mirror? Please include what law is used to solve.

    Application of the lens formula

    A slide projector produces a 500 times enlarged image of a slide on a screen 10m away. If the screen is moved 2m closer, by what distance should the slide be moved towards or away from the lens so that the image remains focused on the screen? What is the magnification in this case? Assume that the projector consists of a single
