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. What kind
of mirror is being used? What is the radius of curvature? Draw the ray diagram.
Help me solve the following table. Angle of incidence (?i) is 65, angle uncertainty (??) is 1. I tried (1*2.4919*pi)/180 * ((1/tan65)+(1/tan22)) = ?n, but it said the answer was wrong, and i don't know how to continue from there. So, the answer cannot be 4.8838.
a.The fixed field of G is a subfield of F.
b. If the focal distance of an end of theminor axis of an ellipse (referred to its axes as the axes ofx and y, respectively) is k and the distance between its foci is 2h, then find its equation.
c. If (5, 12) and (24, 7) are the foci of anellipse passing through the origin, then find the eccentricity of the ellipse.

- PROBLEMS 10.1 Faster than light. I stand 10 feet from a white wall, holding a laser pointer. The pointer makes a red dot on the wall directly in front of me. Then with a quick flick of my wrist (lasting only 0.1 second) I twist the laser pointer by 45°, and the red dot moves 10 feet in 0.1 second. I repeat the experiment standing 20 feet from a white wall, and the red dot moves 20 feet in 0.1 second. Finally, I repeat the experiment standing 186 000 miles from a white wall, and the red dot moves 186 000 miles in 0.1 second. In other words, the red dot moves 10 times faster than light speed. Why doesn't this motion violate the speed limit derived in this chapter?arrow_forwardPreliminary Questions 1. Is the image projected on a movie screen real or virtual?
