Solve: The plot of the data is shown below.
From the best-fit line, the y intercept is 0.099 cm−1. Thus, the image distance is
Reflect: From the best-fit line, the slope is 1.0179 ± 0.0126, which is close to the expected value of unity.
54. A physics student is given a set of converging lenses that have a range of focal lengths. The lab instructo asks her to position an object in front of each lens so that the image distance always has the same value, whi is specified in the lab manual. The table gives the measured object distances and the corresponding focal lengths.
f(cm) | d0 (cm) |
5 | 10.1 |
6 | 15 3 |
7 | 22.8 |
8 | 39.2 |
9 | 90 5 |
Make a plot of the inverse focal length as a function of the inverse object distance Using a linear “best fit” to the data, determine the image distance that was specified in the lab manual.

- I am working on a handout for physics homework and I am trying to fill in the table on the second image. I know that I need to used F = ILB, but I am not sure of how to obtain B in order to fill in the table. Help will be greatly appreciated, thank you!arrow_forwardThe dimension of a wall-mounted image is inches (H x W). How quickly must an observer move in the direction of the picture in order for it to look square? (towards W direction)arrow_forwardIf the critical angle = 48, what does n equal?arrow_forward
- Answers must be expressed in engineering notation (when the exponent of the base 10 multiplier is not a multiple of 3, press ENG or SHIFT+ENG, whichever the case.) Example: 0.06N or 6.0x10-2 N must be expressed to 60x10-3³ N or 60mN 1. A beam of light reflects and refracts at point A on the interface between material 1 (n₁ = 1.33) and material 2 (n₂ = 1.66). The incident beam makes an angle of 40° with the interface. What is the angle of reflection at point A? 2. Find the critical angle for a water-glass boundary. (Assume the index of refraction of water is 1.33 and glass is 1.52.) 3. A mug 3cm in height is placed 12cm in front of a mirror. An upright image is 9cm tall is produced.

The person is standing 5 meters from a pole, which is 15 meters from the building. The person's vision perceives the top of the pole aligned with the top of the building. The person is approximately 1.75 meters and the pole is approximately 3.5 meters. 15 m b) Estimate the volume and mass of water that exists in a lake. The shape of the lake is approximately circular, it is almost 500 meters in diameter and is supposed to have a average depth of 20.0 meters. Remember that the density of water is equal to 1000 Kg / m3 d= 500m h = 20.0marrow_forwardUse the exact values you enter to make later calculations.A ray of light strikes a flat, 2.00-cm-thick block of glass (n = 1.96) at an angle of ? = 32.4° with respect to the normal (see figure below). A light ray incident on a glass block of thickness 2.00 cm is shown. The ray travels down and to the right and is incident to the top of the block at an angle ? to the normal of the surface. The ray inside the block moves down and to the right but at a steeper slope than the incident ray. It is incident on the bottom surface of the block and exits moving down and to the right, in the same direction as the incident ray. A dashed line extends from the original path of the ray down in the block and is shown to be a distance d from the ray that exits the glass block.

For 650 THz light ("T" stands for "tera" and means 1012), determine the minimum angle that can be resolved for the grey cats eye. Express your answer in degrees. ?min = The diagram below shows a grey parrot looking at two trees. The grey parrot is just able to resolve the two trees.
