Sections 9.6 and 9.7 deal with the phenomena of dispersion and its applications to atmospheric optics. One such application is the explanation of rainbows. Develop a concept map that you could use to teach a friend or family member about the formation and basic characteristics of rainbows. Your map should include links to the fundamental physical processes of reflection, refraction, and dispersion and should distinguish between primary and secondary rainbows. It should also indicate the conditions that must be satisfied to observe rainbows.
A patient cant see objects closer than 40.0 cm and wishes to clearly see objects that are 20.0 cm from his eye. (a) Is the patient nearsighted or farsighted? (b) If the eye-lens distance is 2.00 cm, what is the minimum object distance p from the lens? (c) What image position with respect to the lens will allow the patient to see the object? (d) Is the image real or virtual? Is the image distance q positive or negative? (e) Calculate the required focal length. (f) Find the power of the lens in diopters. (g) If a contact lens is to be prescribed instead, find p, q, and f and the power of the lens.
A ray of light is incident at an angle 30.0 on a plane slab of flint glass surrounded by water. (a) Find the refraction angle. (b) Suppose the index of refraction of the surrounding medium can be adjusted, but the incident angle of the light remains the same. As the index of refraction of the medium approaches that of the glass, what happens to the refraction angle? (c) What happens to the refraction angle when the mediums index of refraction exceeds that of the glass?
A light ray navels from vacuum into a slab of material with index of refraction n1 at incident angle with respect to the surface. It subsequently passes into a second slab of material with index of refraction n2 before passing back into vacuum again. The surfaces of the different materials are all parallel to one another. As the light exits the second slab, what can be said of the final angle that the outgoing light makes with the normal? (a) (b) (c) = (d) The angle depends on the magnitudes of n1 and n2. (e) The angle depends on the wavelength of the light.
The faceplate of a diving mask can be ground into a corrective lens for a diver who does not have perfect vision. The proper design allows the person to see clearly both under water and in the air. Normal eyeglasses have lenses with both the front and back surfaces curved. Should the lenses of a diving mask be curved (a) on the outer surface only, (b) on the inner surface only, or (c) on both surfaces?
In many applications, it is necessary to expand or decrease the diameter of a beam of parallel rays of light, which can be accomplished by using a converging lens and a diverging lens in combination. Suppose you have a converging lens of focal length 21.0 cm and a diverging lens of focal length 12.0 cm. (a) How can you arrange these lenses to increase the diameter of a beam of parallel rays? (b) By what factor will the diameter increase?
