Exercise 52
Step 1

The lifeguard who follows the longer path, $textbf{ACB}$ arrives first at the swimmer because it has the fastest route to the swimmer. This is the path that considerably obeys Snell’s Law, the one that light follows in a similar situation and that follows the path that gets into its destination in the least possible time.

Exercise 54
Step 1

You can see a virtual image but only looking through (or at) the optical instrument that has created the image – it cannot bee formed on a screen since it is created by intersection of virtual rays, not the real ones. On the other hand the real image is formed from intersection of real rays and it can be formed on a screen.

Exercise 55
Step 1

If the index of refraction of a substance is $n$ then the speed of light is reduced in it by the factor of $n$. So the higher the index of refraction, the less the speed of light in it. Since the substance 1 has higher index of refraction then the speed of light in it is greater than the speed of light in substance 2.

Step 1

Eyedropper is made out of glass. We see it because it refracts and reflects light and this is completely described, beside by the geometry of the object, by its index of refraction. The oil and the glass that the eyedropper is made out of have pretty similar indices of refraction. This means that the eyedropper reflects and refracts the light in the same way as the oil does and we cannot distiguish it from the oil optically (by looking at it).

a) When he looks through the water the fish seems closer to him due to refraction. Namely, the rays refract away form the perpendicular direction to the surface since water has higher index of refraction than air and they intersect closer. at the vicinity of point 2

b) The fish will see him farther away since the rays coming from him refract towards the normal and intersect farther. So the fish would see him at the vicinity of the point 4.

a) When the ray is incident form the material with lower to the material with higher index of refraction it refracts at the smaller angle than the angle of incidence so here the angle of refraction is smaller than $51^circ.$

b) From the Snell’s law we have

Exercise 68
Step 1

The ray would refract only when it hits the flat surface because when it hits the circular surface it will be incident perpendicularly and thus would not refract at all. Now we have

$$
sintheta = nsinvarphi

where $varphi$ is the angle of refraction.
From the triangle in the figure we have

$$
tanphi = frac{5text{ cm}}{20text{ cm}}=frac{1}{4}Rightarrow varphi=arctanfrac{1}{4} = 14^circ.

Exercise 69
Step 1

The angle of incidence in the second case is the same as the upper angle in the triangle on the left picture that is made from the sides of the glass and the ray. So we have

$$
sinalpha_i = frac{W}{sqrt{W^2+H^2}}
$$
and for the angle of refraction we have

$$
sinalpha_r = frac{frac{W}{2}}{sqrt{left(frac{W}{2}right)^2+H^2}} = frac{W}{sqrt{4H^2+W^2}}.
$$
From the Snell’s law we have

$$
sinalpha_i=nsinalpha_rRightarrow frac{W}{sqrt{W^2+H^2}} = 1.33frac{W}{sqrt{4H^2+W^2}}.
$$
The last equation yields

$$
frac{4H^2+W^2}{W^2+H^2}=1.33^2.
$$
This the gives

$$
4H^2+W^2 = 1.33^2W^2+1.33^2H^2Rightarrow H^2(4-1.33^2) = W^2(1.33^2-1).
$$
This is finally

$$
H^2=frac{W^2(1.33^2-1)}{4-1.33^2} Rightarrow H=Wsqrt{frac{1.33^2-1}{4-1.33^2}} =3.64text{ cm}.

a) It would be less than 12. In fact, there would be exactly $0$ daylight ours since the daylight results from the dispersion of light on the atmosphere molecules.

b) Luckily, the Earth has an atmosphere. We would expect that the average number everywhere would be $12$ daylight hours but due to refraction of light it is bent so we see it longer.

$textbf{Given values:}$

The critical angle for total internal reflection for the two boundaries can be obtain by applying the relation for critical angle :

$$
sin32.25^circ = 1.650sinalpha_{red};quad sin32.25^circ =1.670sinalpha_{blue}.
$$

These equations yield

$$
sinalpha_{red}=frac{sin32.25^circ}{1.650};quad sinalpha_{blue} = frac{sin32.25^circ}{1.670}
$$

which is finally

begin{align*}
n_2 = n_{air} &= 1 \

$$

For total internal reflection, a ray of light travels from air to prism then reflect the light back on air. Upon entering, the light strikes at $45 text{textdegree}$ then reflecting it back at $90 text{textdegree}$, causing a total internal reflection. So applying the total internal reflection expression to the problem to calculate for the prism’s index of refraction, $n_1$ :

$$
{sin theta_c = dfrac{n_2}{n_1}}
$$

$$
{n_1 = dfrac{n_2}{sin theta_c}}
$$

{n_1 = dfrac{1}{sin 45 text{textdegree}}}

$textbf{(a)}$ The index of refraction for the unknown material should be $textbf{less than}$ to 1.46. It is because total internal reflection occurs only when the beam of light is trying to enter a material from a higher index of refraction to a material of lower index of refraction.

**Given**

theta = 77.5degree

$$

**Useful equations**

Snell’s law relates the angles of two materials of different index of refraction.
$$
begin{aligned}
n_1 sin theta_1 = n_2 sin theta_2

$$
Trigonometric identity:
$$
begin{aligned}
sin (90degree – theta) &= cos theta \ cos^2 theta &= 1 – sin^2 theta
end{aligned}
$$

Step 2
2 of 6
(a) We let the top of the glass where the incident ray first pass through as point A. At point A, we set up the Snell’s law equation such that $n_1$ is the index of refraction of the air ($=1$) and $n_2$ is the index of refraction of the glass and we solve for the angle produced by the ray that goes through the glass.
$$
begin{aligned}
(1)sin theta_1 &= n_2 sin theta_2 \ sin theta_2 &= frac{sin theta_1}{n_2} tag{1}
end{aligned}
$$
Step 3
3 of 6
We let the second ray (from the top of the glass) as the point B. For the ray at point B, the angle it makes with the horizontal is $(90degree – sin theta_2)$. So the Snell’s law equation will look like,
$$
begin{aligned}
(1)sin theta_1 &= n_2 sin (90degree – sin theta_2) \ sin 90degree &= n_2 cos theta_2 \ n_2 cos theta_2 &= 1
end{aligned}
$$
Step 4
4 of 6
We take the square of both sides so that we can use equation (1).
$$
begin{aligned}
n_2^2 cos^2 theta_2 &= 1 \ n_2^2 (1 – sin_2^2 theta_2) &= 1 \ n_2^2 left(1 – frac{sin^2 theta_1}{n_2^2} right) &= 1 \ n_2^2 – sin^2 theta_1 &= 1
end{aligned}
$$
Step 5
5 of 6
We isolate $n_2$ on one side of the equation. Then we substitute $theta_2 = 77.5degree$.
$$
begin{aligned}
n_2^2 &= sin^2 theta_1 + 1 \ n_2 &= sqrt{sin^2 theta_1 + 1} \ &= sqrt{(sin 77.5degree)^2 + 1} \ &= 1.4
end{aligned}
$$
Step 6
6 of 6
(b) From our previous calculations, we had a result which is
$$
begin{aligned}
n_2 &= sqrt{sin^2 theta_1 + 1}
end{aligned}
$$
Hence, if we decrease $theta_2$, $sin_2 theta_2$ will decrease which will make the minimum value of $n$ to **decrease.**

2 of 8
We setup the Snell’s law equation at point A where $n_1$ is the refractive index of air $(=1)$, $n_2$ is the refractive index of the prism and $theta_1 = 45degree$.

Step 3
3 of 8
We setup the Snell’s law equation at point B where $n_2$ is the refractive index of the prism, $n_3$ is the refractive index of the air $(=1)$ and $theta_3 = 34degree$.
$$
begin{aligned}
n_2 sin theta_{text{i}} &= n_3 sin theta_3 \ n_2 sin theta_{text{i}} &= sin 34degree tag{2}
end{aligned}
$$
Step 4
4 of 8
We substitute equation (1) into equation (2) so that we can combine both equations.
$$
begin{aligned}
left(frac{sin 45degree}{sin theta_{text{r}}}right) sin theta_{text{i}} &= sin 34degree \ frac{sin theta_{text{i}}}{sin theta_{text{r}}} &= frac{sin 34degree}{sin 45degree} tag{3}
end{aligned}
$$
Step 5
5 of 8
From the geometry shown in the above figure, $theta_{text{i}} + theta_{text{r}} = 45degree$. We set all angles in terms of $theta_{text{r}}$ by substituting $theta_{text{i}} = 45degree – theta_{text{r}}$ into equation (3).
$$
begin{aligned}
frac{sin (45degree – theta_{text{r}})}{sin theta_{text{r}}} &= frac{sin 34degree}{sin 45degree} \ sin 45degree cos theta_{text{r}} – cos 45degree sin theta_{text{r}} &= left(frac{sin 34degree}{sin 45degree}right) sin theta_{text{r}} \ sin 45degree cos theta_{text{r}} &= left(frac{sin 34degree}{sin 45degree}right) sin theta_{text{r}} + cos 45degree sin theta_{text{r}} \ sin 45degree cos theta_{text{r}} &= sin theta_{text{r}} left(frac{sin 34degree}{sin 45degree} + cos 45degreeright) \ frac{cos theta_{text{r}}}{sin theta_{text{r}}} &= frac{1}{sin 45degree} left(frac{sin 34degree}{sin 45degree} + cos 45degreeright)
end{aligned}
$$
Step 6
6 of 8
We use the trigonometric identity: $tan A = frac{sin A}{cos A}$. We then take the inverse cotangent of both sides.
$$
begin{aligned}
tan theta_{text{r}} &= sin 45degreeleft(frac{1}{frac{sin 34degree}{sin 45degree} + cos 45degree}right) \ theta_{text{r}} &= tan^{-1} left[ sin 45degreeleft(frac{1}{frac{sin 34degree}{sin 45degree} + cos 45degree}right)right] \ &= 25.3degree
end{aligned}
$$
Step 7
7 of 8
Finally, we solve for the refractive index of the prism by subtituting $theta_{text{r}} = 25.3degree$ into equation (1).
$$
begin{aligned}
n_2 &= frac{sin 45degree}{sin 25.3degree} = boxed{1.7}

The next ray is the midpoint ray where it goes for our reference point through the middle of the lens, shown as blue-colored ray on the diagram.

The last ray is the focal-point ray, shown as green-colored ray on the diagram. This ray goes from our reference point through the focal point and then parallel to the lens.

frac{1}{d_{text{i}}} &= frac{1}{12;text{cm}} – frac{1}{25;text{cm}} \ d_{text{i}} &= boxed{23;text{cm}}
end{align*}$$
Step 6

We use the magnification equation to find the image size. This is given by
$$begin{align*}
m = -frac{d_{text{i}}}{d_{text{o}}} = frac{h_{text{i}}}{h_{text{o}}}
end{align*}$$
where $h_{text{i}}$ is the image height and $h_{text{o}}$ is the object height which is given as 6 cm.
Step 7
7 of 8
We note that the magnification $m$ is negative for inverted image. So we have,
$$begin{align*}
frac{d_{text{i}}}{d_{text{o}}} &= frac{h_{text{i}}}{h_{text{o}}} \ h_{text{i}} &= frac{d_{text{i}} h_{text{o}}}{d_{text{o}}}
end{align*}$$
Step 8

We substitute the following values into the previous equation: $d_{text{i}} = 23;text{cm}$, $d_{text{o}} = 25;text{cm}$ and $h_{text{o}} = 6;text{cm}$.
$$begin{align*}
h_{text{i}} = frac{(23;text{cm})(6;text{cm})}{25;text{cm}} = boxed{5.5;text{cm}}

We choose the top of the object as the reference point. We trace the parallel ray, shown as the red-colored ray on the diagram, from the reference point parallel to the lens and then bends upward. We also trace the connected ray to the focal point, shown as the dashed-red ray.

The next ray is the midpoint ray, shown as the blue-colored ray on the diagram. This ray goes from the reference point through lens and is directed to the focal point. Since after it passes through the lens, the light is refracted, the ray that is directed to the focal point is a dashed-blue ray.

The last ray is the focal-point ray, shown as the green-colored ray on the diagram. This ray goes from the reference point through the center of the lens. The intersection of the three rays, including the dashed rays, is the location of the image.

We use the thin-lens equation to find the approximate size and location of the image. The thin-lens equation is given by:
$$begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{text{o}}} + frac{1}{d_{text{i}}} = frac{1}{f}
end{align*}$$
where $d_{text{o}}$ is the object distance from the lens, $d_{text{i}}$ is the image distance, and $f$ is the focal length of the lens.

Step 4
4 of 9
We rearrange the thin-lens equation such that $frac{1}{d_{text{i}}}$ is isolated on one side of the equation.
$$begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{text{i}}} = frac{1}{f} – frac{1}{d_{text{o}}}
end{align*}$$
Step 5

We rearrange the thin-lens equation such that $frac{1}{d_{text{i}}}$ is isolated on one side of the equation.
$$begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{text{i}}} = frac{1}{f} – frac{1}{d_{text{o}}}
end{align*}$$
Step 6

We substitute the following values into the previous equation: $f = -15;text{cm}$ and $d_{text{o}} = 11;text{cm}$. We take the reciprocal of both sides. We note that $f$ is negative for concave lens.
$$begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{text{i}}} &= -frac{1}{15;text{cm}} – frac{1}{11;text{cm}} \ d_{text{i}} &= boxed{-6.3;text{cm}}
end{align*}$$
**The image location is 6.3 cm on the left side of the lens**.
Step 7
7 of 9
We use the magnification equation to find the image size. This is given by
$$begin{align*}
m = -frac{d_{text{i}}}{d_{text{o}}} = frac{h_{text{i}}}{h_{text{o}}}
end{align*}$$
where $h_{text{i}}$ is the image height and $h_{text{o}}$ is the object height which is given as 5 cm.
Step 8
8 of 9
We isolate $h_{text{i}}$ on one side of the equation. We have,
$$begin{align*}
-frac{d_{text{i}}}{d_{text{o}}} &= frac{h_{text{i}}}{h_{text{o}}} \ h_{text{i}} &= -frac{d_{text{i}} h_{text{o}}}{d_{text{o}}}
end{align*}$$
Step 9
9 of 9
We substitute the following values into the previous equation: $d_{text{i}} = -6.3;text{cm}$, $d_{text{o}} = 11;text{cm}$ and $h_{text{o}} = 5;text{cm}$.
$$begin{align*}
h_{text{i}} = -frac{(-6.3;text{cm})(5;text{cm})}{11;text{cm}} = boxed{2.9;text{cm}}
end{align*}$$
**The image height is 2.9 cm**.

d_i &= dfrac{1}{dfrac{1}{f} – dfrac{1}{d_o}} \

$$

Step 3

Exercise 113
Step 1
1 of 4
$textbf{(a)}$

We choose the top of the object as the reference point. There are two lenses so the rays from the first lens will be used for the second lens. Since the first lens is a convex lens, we trace a parallel ray approaching the first lens, shown as red-colored ray on the diagram. This ray is then bent so that it passes through the focal point of the first lens.

The next ray is the midpoint ray where it goes for the reference point through the middle of the first lens, shown as blue-colored ray on the diagram.

The last ray is the focal-point ray, shown as green-colored ray on the diagram. This ray goes from the reference point through the focal point and then parallel to the first lens. The intersection of these three rays is the location of the first image.

Step 2
2 of 4
For the second lens, we choose the top of the inverted image which is now the object as the new reference point. We trace the parallel ray, shown as the red-colored ray on the diagram, from the new reference to the focal point of the second lens. The dashed-red ray is parallel to the second lens.

The next ray is the midpoint ray, shown as the blue-colored ray on the diagram. This ray goes from the new reference point through the middle of the second lens.

The last ray is the focal-point ray, shown as the green-colored ray on the diagram. This ray goes from the new reference point approaching in parallel the second lens and is then bent downward due to refraction, this ray is extended such that it passes through the focal point of the second lens, as shown by the green-dashed ray. The intersection of the three rays, including the dashed rays, is the location of the final image.

**Hence, the final image is at the left of lens 2**.

Step 3
3 of 4
$textbf{(b)}$

The object is beyond the focal point of the lens 1, hence, **the image is inverted**. This is perfectly shown in the diagram from part (a) where the final image has an upside down orientation.

Step 4
4 of 4
$textbf{(c)}$

Since the object (the first image) and the second lens 2 are on the same side, **the image is virtual**.

When the mug is already filled with water we can now see the bottom of the mug because the water has a higher index of refraction compared to air, the rays of light from the bottom of the mug will undergo refraction at the air-water interface. The refraction causes the rays to move towards the eye and refracting the image to the visible eye.

Exercise 118
Step 1

$textbf{(a)}$

Based on Fig. 17.49, when the object distance is on the left side of the lens, the image distance is negative which means the image is virtual. On the other hand, when the object distance is on the right side of the lens, the image distance is positive and the image is real. Since concave lenses do not produce real images, the shown diagram is a plot of **convex lens**.

Step 2
2 of 2
$textbf{(b)}$

When the object is at the focal length, the image is formed at infinity. Based on the plot, when the object is at 0.6 m, the image distance approached infinity. So the focal length of the lens based on the plot is **0.6 m**.

$textbf{Given values:}$

$$
begin{align*}
d_o &= 2.76 text{ cm} \

$$

The object distance is equal to the distance that the stamp was held from the lens. Using the magnification relation to calculate for the value of the image distance from the lens :

$$
begin{align*}
m &= dfrac{- d_i}{d_o} \
d_i &= -m d_o \

Exercise 121
Step 1

$textbf{(a)}$

We choose the top of the image as our reference point. From this point, we trace a parallel ray approaching the lens, shown as red-colored ray on the diagram. This ray is then bent so that it passes through the focal point. We extend this ray to the left side of the lens as dashed-red ray.

The next ray is the midpoint ray where it goes for the reference point through the middle of the lens, shown as blue-colored ray on the diagram. We extend this ray upward until it intersects with the parallel ray.

The intersection of these two rays is the location of the image.

Step 2
2 of 8
$textbf{(b)}$

Since the object is between the focal point and the lens, the image formed is virtual, enlarged, and **upright**.

Step 3
3 of 8
$textbf{(c)}$

We use the thin-lens equation to find the approximate size and location of the image. The thin-lens equation is given by:
$$begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{text{o}}} + frac{1}{d_{text{i}}} = frac{1}{f}
end{align*}$$
where $d_{text{o}}$ is the object distance from the lens, $d_{text{i}}$ is the image distance, and $f$ is the focal length of the lens.

Step 4
4 of 8
We rearrange the thin-lens equation such that $frac{1}{d_{text{i}}}$ is isolated on one side of the equation.
$$begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{text{i}}} = frac{1}{f} – frac{1}{d_{text{o}}}
end{align*}$$
Step 5
5 of 8
We substitute the following values into the previous equation: $f = 15;text{cm}$ and $d_{text{o}} = 7;text{cm}$. We take the reciprocal of both sides. We note that $f$ is positive for convex lens.
$$begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{text{i}}} &= frac{1}{15;text{cm}} – frac{1}{7;text{cm}} \ d_{text{i}} &= boxed{-13;text{cm}}
end{align*}$$
**The image location is approximately 13 cm on the left side of the lens**.
Step 6
6 of 8
We use the magnification equation to find the image size. This is given by
$$begin{align*}
m = -frac{d_{text{i}}}{d_{text{o}}} = frac{h_{text{i}}}{h_{text{o}}}
end{align*}$$
where $h_{text{i}}$ is the image height and $h_{text{o}}$ is the object height which is given as 5 cm.
Step 7
7 of 8
We isolate $h_{text{i}}$ on one side of the equation. We have,
$$begin{align*}
-frac{d_{text{i}}}{d_{text{o}}} &= frac{h_{text{i}}}{h_{text{o}}} \ h_{text{i}} &= -frac{d_{text{i}} h_{text{o}}}{d_{text{o}}}
end{align*}$$
Step 8
8 of 8
We substitute the following values into the previous equation: $d_{text{i}} = -13;text{cm}$, $d_{text{o}} = 7;text{cm}$ and $h_{text{o}} = 5;text{cm}$.
$$begin{align*}
h_{text{i}} = -frac{(-13;text{cm})(5;text{cm})}{7;text{cm}} = boxed{9;text{cm}}
end{align*}$$
**The size of the image is approximately 9 cm**. Indeed, it is an enlarged of the object.
Exercise 122
Step 1
1 of 8
$textbf{(a)}$

We choose the top of the object as the reference point. We trace the parallel ray, shown as the red-colored ray on the diagram, from the reference point parallel to the lens and then bends upward. We also trace the connected ray to the focal point, shown as the dashed-red ray.

The next ray is the midpoint ray, shown as the blue-colored ray on the diagram. This ray goes from the reference point through lens and is directed to the focal point. Since after it passes through the lens, the light is refracted, the ray that is directed to the focal point is a dashed-blue ray.

The last ray is the focal-point ray, shown as the green-colored ray on the diagram. This ray goes from the reference point through the center of the lens. The intersection of the three rays, including the dashed rays, is the location of the image.

Step 2
2 of 8
$textbf{(b)}$

The image formed is reduced and **upright**.

Step 3
3 of 8
$textbf{(c)}$

We use the thin-lens equation to find the approximate size and location of the image. The thin-lens equation is given by:
$$begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{text{o}}} + frac{1}{d_{text{i}}} = frac{1}{f}
end{align*}$$
where $d_{text{o}}$ is the object distance from the lens, $d_{text{i}}$ is the image distance, and $f$ is the focal length of the lens.

Step 4
4 of 8
We rearrange the thin-lens equation such that $frac{1}{d_{text{i}}}$ is isolated on one side of the equation.
$$begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{text{i}}} = frac{1}{f} – frac{1}{d_{text{o}}}
end{align*}$$
Step 5
5 of 8
We substitute the following values into the previous equation: $f = -12;text{cm}$ and $d_{text{o}} = 25;text{cm}$. We take the reciprocal of both sides. We note that $f$ is negative for concave lens.
$$begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{text{i}}} &= -frac{1}{12;text{cm}} – frac{1}{25;text{cm}} \ d_{text{i}} &= boxed{-8.1;text{cm}}
end{align*}$$
**The image location is approximately 8.1 cm on the right side of the lens**.
Step 6
6 of 8
We use the magnification equation to find the image size. This is given by
$$begin{align*}
m = -frac{d_{text{i}}}{d_{text{o}}} = frac{h_{text{i}}}{h_{text{o}}}
end{align*}$$
where $h_{text{i}}$ is the image height and $h_{text{o}}$ is the object height which is given as 6 cm.
Step 7
7 of 8
We isolate $h_{text{i}}$ on one side of the equation. We have,
$$begin{align*}
-frac{d_{text{i}}}{d_{text{o}}} &= frac{h_{text{i}}}{h_{text{o}}} \ h_{text{i}} &= -frac{d_{text{i}} h_{text{o}}}{d_{text{o}}}
end{align*}$$
Step 8
8 of 8
We substitute the following values into the previous equation: $d_{text{i}} = -8.1;text{cm}$, $d_{text{o}} = 25;text{cm}$ and $h_{text{o}} = 6;text{cm}$.
$$begin{align*}
h_{text{i}} = -frac{(-8.1;text{cm})(6;text{cm})}{25;text{cm}} = boxed{1.9;text{cm}}
end{align*}$$
**The image size is approximately 1.9 cm**. Indeed, the image formed is reduced.
Exercise 123
Step 1
1 of 2
From the lens equation we have

$$
frac{1}{f}=frac{1}{d_0}+frac{1}{d_i}.
$$

This gives us

$$
frac{1}{d_i}=frac{1}{f}-frac{1}{d_0}Rightarrow frac{1}{d_i} = frac{d_0-f}{fd_0}Rightarrow d_i=frac{fd_0}{d_0-f}.
$$

From the picture we see that

$$
frac{d_0}{h_0}=frac{d_i}{h_i}Rightarrow h_i=h_0frac{d_i}{d_0.}
$$

Substituting here for $d_i$ we have

$$
h_i=h_0frac{frac{fd_0}{d_0-f}}{d_0}=h_0frac{f}{d_0-f} = 1.33text{ cm}.

An arrow lies along the lens’s axis and serves as an object. The image distance for the arrow can be calculated using the thin-lens equation :

For the tip of the arrow :

$$
begin{align*}
dfrac{1}{d_{o,1}} + dfrac{1}{d_{i,1}} &= dfrac{1}{f} \
d_{i,1} &= dfrac{1}{dfrac{1}{f} – dfrac{1}{d_{o,1}}} \
&= dfrac{1}{dfrac{1}{30 text{ cm}} – dfrac{1}{74 text{ cm}}} \
d_{i,1} &= 50.455 text{ cm}
end{align*}
$$

For the tail of the arrow :

$$
begin{align*}
dfrac{1}{d_{o,2}} + dfrac{1}{d_{i,2}} &= dfrac{1}{f} \
d_{i,2} &= dfrac{1}{dfrac{1}{f} – dfrac{1}{d_{o,2}}} \
&= dfrac{1}{dfrac{1}{30 text{ cm}} – dfrac{1}{76 text{ cm}}} \
d_{i,2} &= 49.565 text{ cm}

Therefore, the length of the arrow’s image will be :

$$
{l_i = 50.455 text{ cm} – 49.565 text{ cm}}

$$
{boxed{l_i = 0.89 text{ cm}}}

We choose the top of the object as the reference point.For the first lens, we trace a parallel ray approaching the first lens, shown as red-colored ray on the diagram. This ray is then bent upward as it passes through the lens. We extend this bent ray at the left side of lens directly through the focal point as dashed-red ray.

The next ray is the midpoint ray where it goes for the reference point through the middle of the first lens, shown as blue-colored ray on the diagram.

The last ray is the focal-point ray, shown as green-colored ray on the diagram. This ray goes from the reference point through the focal point. On the point of intersection of this ray and the lens, we extend a parallel ray which intersects with the other two rays, this shown as dashed-green ray. The intersection of these three rays is the location of the first image.

The next ray is the midpoint ray, shown as the blue-colored ray on the diagram. This ray goes from the new reference point through the middle of the second lens.

The last ray is the focal-point ray, shown as the green-colored ray on the diagram. This ray goes from the new reference point to the focal point and then parallel as it passes through the second lens. The intersection of the three rays is the location of the final image.

The distance that the IOL must move to change the focus of the eye from an object at infinity to a distance of $50 text{ cm}$ is the difference between their image distances produced. Calculating the image distances using the thin-lens equation :

For an object at infinity :

$$
begin{align*}
dfrac{1}{d_{o,1}} + dfrac{1}{d_{i,1}} &= dfrac{1}{f} \
d_{i,1} &= dfrac{1}{dfrac{1}{f} – dfrac{1}{d_{o,1}}} \

&= dfrac{1}{dfrac{1}{3 text{ cm}} – 0} \
d_{i,1} &= 3 text{ cm}

For an object at a distance of $50 text{ cm}$ :

$$
begin{align*}
