Chapter 9.3, Problem 3aT
Each of the diagrams at right shows a ray incident on a boundary between two media.
Continue each of the rays into the second medium. Using a dashed line, also draw the path that the wave would have taken had it continued without bending.
Does the ray representing a wave “bend” toward or away from the normal when:
• the wave speed is smaller in the second medium?
• the wave speed is larger in the second medium?

Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is in degrees, however do not explicitly include units in your answer. Enter only a number. If you do
enter a unit, your answer will be counted wrong.
A plane wave hits a piece of glass whose front surface is spherical and whose back surface is plane. The radius of the lens is 10 cm and the thickness of the glass is 1 cm at the center, as shown in the diagram at right. At time t1, the center of the plane wavefront has just reached the lens. A short time later, at time t2, the center of the wavefront will have passed completely through the glass, as shown.
a) Find the time that elapses between t1 and t2, the time it takes the center of the wavefront to pass thorugh the middle 1 cm of the glass.
b) Find the amount by which the edges of the wavefront at t2 will be ahead of the cetner of the wavefront, due to the fact that these edges passed through empty space, with no glass in their paths.

- Consider a ray diagram below that depicts familiar 4 principal rays that allow us to find the image of an object as shown. However, there are many other rays that will leave the tip of the object. Consider, for example, ray No. 5 that gets reflected from a mirror at point A. Where will the reflected ray No. 5 go? The reflected ray will pass through the tip of the image. The reflected ray will pass through the center of curvature. The reflected ray will pass through the focal point F.
