Exercise 13
Solution 1
Solution 2
Step 1
1 of 2
If object is located between $F’$ and $2F’$ its image will be real and inverted and it will be bigger in size than the actual object.
Result
2 of 2
Image will be real, inverted and bigger than the actual object.
Step 1
1 of 2
If the object is placed between F’ and 2F’ of a converging lens, than the image formed will be real in nature and inverted in attitude, it will be located beyond 2F on the other side of the lens as the object and will be bigger in size than the object.
Result
2 of 2
The image will be real, inverted, magnified and beyond 2F.
Exercise 14
Solution 1
Solution 2
Step 1
1 of 2
Focal length of the lens in the human eye can be slightly changed by eye muscles, in order to focus objects which are placed at different distances.

When they relax, eye lens becomes rounder which decreases focal length and when there is a contraction, eye lens is being elongated which increases focal length.

Result
2 of 2
Focal length is being changed by the eye muscles: when they relax, eye lens becomes rounder which decreases focal length and when there is a contraction, eye lens is being elongated which increases focal length.
Step 1
1 of 1
The eye muscles joined with the eye lens are responsible for focusing a sharply focused images on the retina. They do this by changing the shape of the eye lens to modify the focal length of the eye lens as required. Some times the eye muscles relax to make eye lens rounder to decrease its focal length and some times they contract to elongate the eye lens and increase its focal length as required.
Exercise 15
Step 1
1 of 2
Ray diagram:Exercise scan
Step 2
2 of 2
Light rays from the object fall on mirror 1 at an angle of $45text{textdegree}$ and become reflected at an angle of $45text{textdegree}$. The image formed at mirror 1 is laterally inverted. This laterally inverted image is again laterally inverted on reflection from mirror 2 to be formed on the eye and is therefore accurate in attitude as the object under observation.
Exercise 16
Step 1
1 of 3
Data:

$$
theta_2=45text{textdegree}
$$

$$
n=1.bar3
$$

Step 2
2 of 3
Formula of index of refraction in terms of Snell’s law:

$$
n=dfrac{sin theta_1}{sin theta_2}
$$

Solve for $theta_1$:

$$
sin theta_1=ntimessin theta_2
$$

Substitute values:

$$
sin theta_1=1.bar3timessin 45text{textdegree}
$$

Simplify:

$$
sin theta_1=0.943
$$

Solve for $theta_1$:

$$
theta_1=sin^{-1}(0.943)=70.53text{textdegree}
$$

Result
3 of 3
The angle of incidence must be $70.53text{textdegree}$.

Exercise 19
Step 1
1 of 3
a. Light in incandescent light bulbs is produced by heating up a metal through electric current. The hot metal emits light. These bulbs are however very inefficient and only a maximum of $10%$ of electrical energy is actually converted to light energy while the remaining is lost as heat energy to the surroundings. Fluorescent light bulbs are very efficient sources of light energy. In this the electrical current excites the mercury vapor in fluorescent tubes which collide with the fluorescent painted tube to emit light. They dissipate almost no heat.
Step 2
2 of 3
b. Fluorescent bulbs are more energy efficient than the inefficient incandescent bulbs. They do no waste energy as heat.

Exercise 20
Solution 1
Solution 2
Step 1
1 of 3
$textit{a.}$, Ray of is bending, refracting when it enters new medium with different optical density, in this case, it is the water.

Refraction causes the phenomenon of apparent depth in which objects, sharks in this case, appear to be placed shallower in the water than they are truly are, when observed from above the water surface.

Step 2
2 of 3
$textit{b.}$, Shot has to be targeted slightly deeper than where the shark appears to be in order to avoid problem of apparent depth.
Result
3 of 3
$textit{a.}$, It presents another problem because of the phenomenon which is called apparent depth which is a consequence of the refraction, where objects appear to be placed shallower than they truly are while observed from above the water surface.

$textit{b.}$, Shot has to be targeted slightly deeper than where the shark appears to be.

Step 1
1 of 2
a. Light refracts on entering a different medium such as water here. This refraction of light causes the phenomenon of apparent depth, in which objects (such as sharks in this case) appear shallower in water than they actually are, when viewed from above the water surface.
Step 2
2 of 2
b. The shot should be targeted slightly deeper than where the shark “appears” to be in order to shoot it with accuracy.
Exercise 21
Solution 1
Solution 2
Step 1
1 of 2
a. The student should place an object of known height in front of the magnifying glass within its focal length and measure the length of the virtual image formed. The ratio of the height of the virtual image and height of the object must be equal to 4.
Step 2
2 of 2
b. The equation to be used here is Magnification $=dfrac{text{Height of the image}}{text{Height of the object}}$.
Step 1
1 of 2
$textit{a.}$, Student can check the magnification of the magnifying glass by placing the object which height is known in front of it, within the focal length and to measure the length of the virtual image.

Ratio of the height of virtual image and actual object has to be four.

$textit{b.}$, Student should use the equation of magnification which is given by:

$$
M = dfrac{H_{i}}{H_{o}}
$$

Where:

$M$ – magnification

$H_{i}$ – height of the image

$H_{o}$ – height of the object

Result
2 of 2
$textit{a.}$, Student should place object with known height within the focal length, in front of the magnifying glass and to measure height of the formed virtual image. Ratio of height of the image and height of the object has to be four.

$textit{b.}$, Student should use the equation of magnification: $M = dfrac{H_{i}}{H_{o}}$

Exercise 22
Step 1
1 of 3
a. Since the object is located beyond the focal length of the converging lens, the image formed will be real in nature.
Step 2
2 of 3
b.
Data:

$$
f=20
$$

$$
d_o=50
$$

Step 3
3 of 3
Lens equation:

$$
dfrac{1}{d_o}+dfrac{1}{d_i}=dfrac{1}{f}
$$

Rearrange to solve for $d_i$:

$$
dfrac{1}{d_i}=dfrac{1}{f}-dfrac{1}{d_o}
$$

Simplify using least common denominator:

$$
dfrac{1}{d_i}=dfrac{d_o-f}{fd_o}
$$

Rearrange:

$$
d_i=dfrac{fd_o}{d_o-f}
$$

Substitute values:

$$
d_i=dfrac{20(50)}{50-20}=dfrac{1000}{30}
$$

Evaluate:

$$
d_i=dfrac{100}{3}=33.bar3
$$

The image formed is $33.bar3$ centimeters away from the lens on its other side as the object.
