Explanation When two coins are placed at the bottom of the two cup separately in which one is filled with water and other is remains empty and if the person try to see the coin at an angle at which coin cannot seen in the empty cup. This angle is very less than the angle at which the person are just about to see the coin. When the person tries to see the coin placed in empty cup, the coins cannot be seen. But at the same time and with same angle when the person turns the person eyes toward the cup having water, the person sees that a portion of the coin is visible. This phenomenon occurs due to refraction of light inside the water...

Ray Optics

Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…

Converging Lens

Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…

To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.

Lateral Magnification

In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…

Try this simple experiment on your own. Take two opaquecups, place a coin at the bottom of each cup near the edge,and fill one cup with water. Next, view the cups at some anglefrom the side so that the coin in water is just visible as shownon the left in Figure CQ22.12. Notice that the coin in air is notvisible as shown on the right in Figure CQ22.12. Explain thisobservation.

Optical fibers are a central part of technology for rapid information transmission with a high level of efficiency. A new type of optical fiber is crafted with an index of refraction n = less than that of water in the vicinity of room temperature, where NH2O fact that n < nH20 potentially problematic if the fiber should be submerged? 1.25 = 1.33. Why is the O A. Total internal reflection would be frustrated, allowing loss of signal. O B. Internal reflection would actually be enhanced, so there is no problem. C. Electric eels might have free internet access.
