A large hall in a museum has a niche in one wall. On the floor plan, the niche appears as a semicircular indentation of radius 3.85 m. A tourist stands on the centerline of the niche, 3.30 m out from its deepest point, and whispers "Hello." Where is the sound concentrated after reflection from the niche? m from the deepest point in the niche

(a) An opaque cylindrical tank with an open top has a diameter of 2.80 m and is completely filled with water. When the afternoon sun reaches an angle of 29.5° above the horizon, sunlight ceases to illuminate any part of the bottom of the tank. How deep is the tank (in m)? m (b) What If? On winter solstice in Honolulu, the sun reaches a maximum altitude of 45.3° above the horizon. What would the depth of the tank have to be (in m) for the sun not to illuminate the bottom of the tank on that day? m

What is the critical angle for total internal reflection for glass in air? Assume that nglass= 1.50 and nair = 1.00.
After a long day of driving you take a late-night swim in a motel swimming pool. When you go to your room, you realize that you have lost your room key in the pool. You borrow a powerful flashlight and walk around the pool, shining the light into it. The light shines on the key, which is lying on the bottom of the pool, when the flashlight is held 1.2 m above the water surface and is directed at the surface a horizontal distance of 1.5 m from the edge. If the water here is 4.0 m deep, how far is the key from the edge of the pool? (Given refractive index of water is = 1.33) 1.5 m 1.2 m 4.0 m

A layer of benzene (n = 1.50) that is 4.20 cm deep floats on water (n = 1.33) that is 5.70 cm deep. What is the apparent distance from the upper benzene surface to the bottom of the water when you view these layers at normal incidence?
A transparent cylinder of radius R = 2.00 m has a mirroredsurface on its right half, as shown in Figure P22.55. A light ray traveling in air is incident on the left side of the cylinder. Theincident light ray and the exiting light ray are parallel, andd = 2.00 m. Determine the index of refraction of the material.
A concave mirror forms an image, on a wall 3.00 m in front of the mirror, of a headlamp filament 10.0 cm in front of the mirror. Suppose that the lower half of the mirror’s reflectingsurface is covered with nonreflective soot. What effect will this have on the image of the filament?
