- Exp1ain why an object in water always appears to be at a depth shallower than it actually is?arrow_forwardDerive the formula for the apparent depth of a fish in a fish tank using Snell’s law.arrow_forwardA person looking into an empty container is able to see the far edge of the containers bottom, as shown in Figure P22.23a. The height of the container is h, and its width is d. When the container is completely filled with a fluid of index of refraction n and viewed from the same angle, the person can see the center of a coin at the middle of the containers bottom, as shown in Figure P22.23b. (a) Show that the ratio h/d is given by hd=n214n2 (b) Assuming the container has a width of 8.00 cm and is filled with water, use the expression above to find the height of the container.arrow_forward
- Two rays travelling parallel to the principal axis strike a large plano-convex lens having a refractive index of 1.60 (Fig. P23.54). If the convex face is spherical, a ray near the edge does not pass through the local point (spherical aberration occurs). Assume this face has a radius of curvature of R = 20.0 cm and the two rays are at distances h1 = 0.500 cm and h2 = 12.0 cm from the principal axis. Find the difference x in the position where each crosses the principal axis.
