Chapter 1: geometric optics Exercises

Exercise 1-1
A beam of light of wavelength = 550 nm travelling in air is incident on a slab of transparent material. The incident beam makes an angle 0f 40 with the normal, and the refracted beam makes an angle of 26 with the normal. a) Find the index of refraction of the material. b) What is the wavelength of light in the material?

Exercise 2-1
A light beam passes from medium 1 to medium 2, with the latter medium being a thick slab of material whose index of refraction is n2 (see figure). 1) Show that the emerging beam is parallel to incident beam (show that 1 = 3 ). b) The emerging beam is shifted laterally by the distance d. If n2=1.5, 1 = 30 and the width of the slab w=2cm. what is the value of d?

Exercise 6-1
A goldfish lives in a spherical fish bowl 50cm diameter. The index of water n=1.33. If the fish is 10cm from the near edge of the bowl, where does the fish appear when viewed from the outside?

Exercise 7-1
A 4.0cm height flower is 200cm from the 50cm focal length lens of a camera. a) How far should the film be placed behind the lens to record a well-focused image? b) What is the height of the image on the film?

Exercise 8-1
To see a flower better, a naturalist holds a 6cm focal length magnifying glass 4cm from the flower. What is the magnification?

Exercise 9-1

Exercise 10-1
A stamp collector uses a magnifying lens that sits 2cm above the stamp. The magnification is 4. What is the focal length of the lens?

Exercise 11-1
What is the focal length of the glass meniscus lens shown in figure? Is this a converging or diverging lens?

n = 1.50 R1 = 40 cm

R2 = 20cm

Exercise 12-1
A plastic eyeglass lens to correct for nearsightedness is a diverging lens with a planoconcave design. The patient needs a focal length of -1.5m. What is the radius R2 of the inner surface of the lens? R1 = R2

n = 1.59

Exercise 13-1
A camera is usually a combination of two or more single lenses. Consider a camera lens consisting of a diverging lens, with f1=-120mm, and a converging lens, with f2=42mm, spaced 60mm apart. A 10cm tall object is 500mm from the first lens. a) What are the location, size, and orientation of the image? b) What is the focal length of a single lens that could produce an image in the same location if placed at the midpoint of the lens combination?

Exercise 14-1
Two converging lenses having focal lengths of 10cm and 20cm are located 50cm apart, as shown in figure. The final image is to be located between the lenses at the position indicated. a) How far to the left of the first lens should the object be? b) What is the overall magnification? c) Is the final image upright or inverted?
