There is a light pole on one bank of a small pond. You are standing up while fishing on the other bank. After reflection from the surface of the water, part of the light from the bulb at the top of the pole reaches your eyes. Use a ray diagram to help find a point on the surface of the water from where the reflected ray reaches your eyes. Determine an expression for the distance from this point on the water to the bottom of the light pole if the height of the pole is H, your height is h, and the distance between you and the light pole is l.

When the Sun becomes a red giant, it's luminosity will be 2000 times its current value. The solar flux at Earth will also increase by a factor of 2000. Neglecting the greenhouse effect, the surface temperature of the earth is determined by thermal equilibrium: the flux of radiation absorbed equals the flux of radiation emitted. This means the Earth's surface flux must also increase by a factor of 2000. If the current average surface temperature is 58 degrees F. what will the average surface temperature be when the Sun is a red giant. [Hint: use the Stefan-Boltzman's law in the form of a ratio, and remember that the temperature there is in Kelvins.]
