Consider a point on the distant object that is also on the principal axis of the lens.
On the diagram below, sketch several rays from this distant point that reach the lens.
How are these rays oriented with respect to one another and to the principal axis? Explain.
On the basis of your observations from part A, show the continuation of each of these rays through the lens and out the other side. On the diagram, indicate where the rays converge.
Note: Refraction takes place at the two surfaces of the lens. However, in drawing a ray diagram for a thin lens, it is customary to draw rays as if all refraction takes place at the center of the lens.

- A beam of light that consists of a mixture of red, green and violet light strikes a prism(surrounded by air) as shown. Indices of refraction for this prism for the various colorsare indicated in the table. An observer is located to the right of the prism as shown. Determine which color(s) could, in principle, be seen by the observer? Carefully show your work/describe your reasoning.arrow_forwardShow transcribed image text When a light ray A strikes the interface of mediums 1 and 2, there are two phenomena; one part of the incident ray is reflecting (20%) and second part of the incident ray is refructing (80%). See Figure 1 below. Given your responses to the following questions. Indicate the angles of incidence and refraction on figure 1. Compare both angles. Explain it. Which medium has the higher index of refraction? Give your reasoning. Which medium can be called "optically more dense" and which medium can be called "optically less dense"? Explain. In which medium is the light speed is greater and in which medium the light speed is less? Explainarrow_forwardWhen you look at your reflection in the bowl of a spoon, it is upside down. Part A Why? Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. concave convex long short larger smaller real virtual upright inverted in front behind diverge from converge to The spoon is a concave mirror with a smaller focal length. Your face is an object at a distance much larger than the focal length. The spoon reflects rays from your face to form a long inverted image that is virtual of the spoon. The rays do not stop at the image; they converge to the image plane and enter your eye. Thus what your eye is focused on is a virtual image of your face that is inverted (and also reduced in size).

- An object, pointing upwards, is placed outside the focal point F2 of a thin diverging lens. A student is using the diagram shown above and the graphical method to predict the image of the arrow. To draw a principal ray, which direction should the student follow? O Draw a ray from point Q through F, to the lens, then bend it so it is horizontal. O Draw a horizontal ray from point Q to the lens, then bend it so it appears to diverge from F2. O Draw a ray from point P to any position on the lens, then bend it so it is horizontal. Draw a ray from point Q to the center of the lens, then bend it so it is horizontal.arrow_forwardA beam of light travels vertically downward and strikes a horizontal mirror, reflecting directly back vertically upward, as indicated by the black dashed line in the diagram at left. The mirror is now rotated, so that it is 10° away from horizontal, as is the red mirror in the diagram . The incident solid black ray is the same in both cases. a) At what angle from the vertical will the reflected beam (the red dashed arrow) now be seen? b) If the mirror is further rotated until it is 20° from the horizontal, what will be the new angle between the reflected beam and the vertical?arrow_forwardCase 1: Object distance d0= infinity. The figure below shows light rays coming from an object located at infinity, in front of a convex lens. Extend the 9 incident rays to the lens, and draw the transmitted rays in the correct direction. Use the figure, DO NOT substitute it with any other figure. Use the line to trace the 9 rays. Don't forget to place the arrow on each transmitted beam. Label each ray with its corresponding name: parallel ray, central ray, and focal ray. Image characteristics for Case 1: Object distance d0= infinity.

- A concave lens refracts parallel rays in such a way that they are bent away from the axis of the lens. For this reason, a concave lens is referred to as a diverging lens. Part A: Consider the following diagrams, where F represents the focal point of a concave lens. In these diagrams, the image formed by the lens is obtained using the ray tracing technique. Which diagrams are accurate?(Figure 1) *Type A if you think that only diagram A is correct, type AB if you think that only diagrams A and B are correct, and so on. Part B: If the focal length of the concave lens is -7.50 cm , at what distance d_o from the lens should an object be placed so that its image is formed 3.70 cm from the lens?arrow_forwardIn the figure at right the light is crossing a vertical interface with the normal Medium n1 marked as a dashed line.
