Tutorial Ch26

This document contains multiple physics problems related to optics and refraction. Problem 11 asks about the difference in angles when light refracts from ice into water. Problem 13 provides information about light refracting from air into an unknown liquid and asks for the speed of light in the liquid. Problem 19 asks about the apparent location of a fish underwater as seen from above the surface and vice versa.

Chapter 26

11. A ray of light impinges from air onto a block of ice (n = 1.309) at a 50.0° angle of
incidence. Assuming that this angle remains the same, find the difference θ2,ice -
θ2,water,water in the angles when the ice turns to water (n = 1.333).

13. The drawing shows a coin resting on the bottom of a beaker filled with an
unknown liquid. A ray of light from the coin travels to the surface of the liquid and is
refracted as it enters into the air. A person sees the ray as it skims just above the
surface of the liquid. How fast is the light traveling in the liquid?

19. A man in a boat is looking straight down at a fish in the water (n = 1.333) directly
beneath him. The fish is looking straight up at the man. They are equidistant from the
air/water interface. To the man, the fish appears to be 1.5 m beneath his eyes. To the
fish, how far above its eyes does the man appear to be?

27. A glass is half-full of water, with a layer of oil (n = 1.47) floating on top. A ray of
light traveling downward through the oil is incident on the water at an angle of 71.4°.
Take the refraction index of water to be 1.333. (a) Determine the critical angle for the
oil-water interface. (b) Will the ray penetrate into the water?

33. The drawing shows a crystalline quartz (refractive index 1.544) with a rectangular
cross section. A ray of light strikes the slab at an incident angle of 1 = 34.0°, enters
the slab, and travels to point P. This slab is surrounded by a fluid with a refractive
index n. What is the maximum value of n such that total internal reflection occurs at
point P?

43. A ray of sunlight is passing from diamond into crown glass; the angle of incidence
is 35.00°. The indices of refraction for the blue and red components of the ray are:
blue (ndiamond = 2.444, ncrown glass = 1.531), and red (ndiamond = 2.410, ncrown glass = 1.520).
Determine the angle between the refracted blue and red rays in the crown glass.

47. The drawing illustrates the dispersion of light by a prism. The prism is made from
a certain type of glass, and has a cross section shaped like an equilateral triangle. The
indices of refraction for the red and violet light in this type of glass are 1.662 and
1.698, respectively. The angle of incidence for both the red and violet light is 55.0°.
Find the angles of refraction at which the (a) red and (b) violet rays emerge into the
air from the prism.

51. A camera is supplied with two interchangeable lenses, whose focal lengths are
30.0 and 150.0 mm. A woman whose height is 1.60 m stands 9.00 m in front of the
camera. What is the height (including sign) of her image on the image sensor, as
produced by (a) the 30.0-mm lens and (b) the 150.0-mm lens?

55. A tourist takes a picture of a mountain 14 km away using a camera that has a lens
with a focal length of 50 mm. She then takes a second picture when she is only 5.0 km
away. What is the ratio of the height of the mountain’s image on the camera’s image
sensor for the second picture to its height on the image sensor for the first picture?

61. An object is 15 cm in front of a diverging lens that has a focal length of -12 cm.
How far in front of the lens should the object be placed so that the size of its image is
reduced by a factor of 2.0?
