Likewise, the distances traveled in the glass and zircon are ∆xglass 0.667 m= and ∆xzircon 0.510 m= .

Assess: The higher the refractive index of a medium, the slower the speed of light and hence smaller the distanceit travels in that medium in a given time.

Likewise, toil 0.243 ns= and tplastic 0.106 ns= . Thus, ttotal = tglass + toil + tplastic = 0.050 ns + 0.243 ns + 0.106 ns =0.399 ns = 0.40 ns.Assess: The small time is due to the high value for the speed of light.

23.3. Model: Light rays travel in straight lines. The light source is a point source.Visualize:

Solve: Let w be the width of the aperture. Then from the geometry of the figure,

w

23.4. Model: Light rays travel in straight lines. Also, the red and green light bulbs are point sources.Visualize:

Solve: The width of the aperture is w = 1 m. From the geometry of the figure for red light,

w x2

1 m 3 m 1 m= ′

The red light illuminates the wall from x = 0.50 m to x = 4.50 m. For the green light,

w x4 1

Because the back wall exists only for 2.75 m to the left of the green light source, the green light has a range from x =0 m to x = 3.75 m.

23.6. Model: Use the ray model of light.Visualize:

According to the law of reflection, θ θr i= .Solve: From the geometry of the diagram,

θ φi + = °90 θ φr + ° −( ) = °60 90

Using the law of reflection, we get

90 90 60° − = ° − ° −( )φ φ ⇒ φ = °30

Assess: The above result leads to a general result for plane mirrors: If a plane mirror rotates by an angle φrelative to the horizontal, the reflected ray makes an angle of 2φ with the horizontal.

23.7. Model: Light rays travel in straight lines and follow the law of reflection.Visualize:

Solve: We are asked to obtain the distance h = x1 + 5.0 cm. From the geometry of the diagram,

tanθ i 10 cm= x1 tanθ r 15 cm

= x2 x x1 2+ = 10 cm

Because θ θr i= , we have

x x x1 2 1

10 cm 15 cm

10 cm

15 cm= = − ⇒ 15 cm 100 cm2( ) = −x x1 110 ⇒ x1 = 4.0 cm

Thus, the ray strikes a distance 9.0 cm below the top edge of the mirror.

23.8. Model: Light rays travel in straight lines and follow the law of reflection.Visualize:

Solve: (a) The top edge of the mirror reflects a ray of light toward the right wall’s top edge. Similarly, the bottomedge of the mirror reflects the light toward the right wall’s bottom edge. The top edge of the mirror is a distance x1

below the ceiling. The distance of the upper edge of the mirror to a perpendicular line from the light to the mirror isx2. From the geometry of the diagram,

Thus the top edge of the mirror is 1.20 m from the ceiling and the height of the mirror is 0.60 m.(b) Let the shadow’s length be s. Using the geometry of the rays,

This means the shadow is the height of the right wall, 3.0 m.

23.9. Model: Light rays travel in straight lines and follow the law of reflection.Visualize:

To determine the angle φ , we must know the point P on the mirror where the ray is incident. P is a distance x2 fromthe far wall and a horizontal distance x1 from the laser source. The ray from the source must strike P so that theangle of incidence θi is equal to the angle of reflection θr.Solve: From the geometry of the diagram,

23.10. Model: Use the ray model of light.Visualize:

The arrow is at a distance s from the mirror, so its image is at a distance s′ behind the mirror. When you are at x = 0 m, aray from the arrow’s head, after reflection from the mirror, is able to enter your eye. Similarly, a ray from the arrow’stail, after normal incidence, is reflected into the eye. That is, the eye is able to see the arrow’s head and tail. Whilewalking toward the right, a ray from the arrow’s head will reflect from the mirror’s right edge and enter your eye at P. Aray starting from the arrow’s tail will also enter your eye when you are at P. That is, while at P you will be able tosee the entire image of the arrow. However, the light from the arrow’s head can never reach beyond point P.Solve: Point P is a distance x from the origin. From the geometry of the diagram,

Thus, the range of x over which you can see the entire arrow in the mirror is 0 m to 3.5 m.

23.11. Model: Use the ray model of light and the law of reflection.Visualize:

We only need one ray of light that leaves your toes and reflects in your eye.Solve: From the geometry of the diagram, the distance from your eye to the toe’s image is

Assess: The light appears to come from your toes’ image.

23.12. Model: Use the ray model of light and Snell’s law.Visualize:

Thus, the maximum angle a light ray can make with the wall of the core to remain inside the fiber is 90° − 67.7° =22.3°.Assess: We can have total internal reflection because ncore > ncladding.

23.26. Model: Use ray tracing to locate the image.Solve:

The figure shows the ray-tracing diagram using the steps of Tactics Box 23.2. You can see from the diagram thatthe image is in the plane where the three special rays converge. The image is inverted and is located at s′ = 20.0 cmto the right of the converging lens.

23.27. Model: Use ray tracing to locate the image.Solve:

The figure shows the ray-tracing diagram using the steps of Tactics Box 23.2. You can see from the diagram thatthe image is in the plane where the three special rays converge. The image is located at s′ = 15 cm to the right of theconverging lens, and is inverted.

23.28. Model: Use ray tracing to locate the image.Solve:

The figure shows the ray-tracing diagram using the steps of Tactics Box 23.2. You can see that the rays afterrefraction do not converge at a point on the refraction side of the lens. On the other hand, the three special rays,when extrapolated backward toward the incidence side of the lens, meet at P′ which is 15 cm from the lens. That is,s′ = −15 cm. The image is upright.

23.29. Model: Use ray-tracing to locate the image.Solve:

The figure shows the ray tracing diagram using the steps of Tactics Box 23.3. The three rays after refraction do notconverge at a point, but they appear to come from P′. P′ is 6 cm from the diverging lens, so s′ = −6 cm. The imageis upright.

23.35. Model: Model the bubble as a point source and consider the paraxial rays that refract from the plasticinto the air. The edge of the plastic is a spherical refracting surface.Visualize:

Solve: The bubble is at P, a distance of 2.0 cm from the surface. So, s = 2.0 cm. A ray from P after refractingfrom the plastic-air boundary bends away from the normal axis and enters the eye. This ray appears to come fromP′, so the image of P is at P′ and it is a virtual image. Because P faces the concave side of the refracting surface, R =−4.0 cm. Furthermore, n1 = 1.59 and n2 = 1.0.

Behind you, the image of the back of your head (image 2) is 3.0 m behind themirror on the other wall. You can’t see this image because you’re looking to the right. However, the reflected raysthat appear to come from image 2 (a virtual image) act just like the rays from an object—that is, just as the rayswould if the back of your head were really at the position of image 2. These rays reflect from the mirror 2.0 m infront of you into which you’re staring and form an image (image 3) 8.0 m behind the mirror. This is the image ofthe back of your head that you see in the mirror in front of you. Since you’re 2.0 m from the mirror, the image ofthe back of your head is 10.0 m away.

23.47. Model: Use the ray model of light. Light undergoes total internal reflection if it is incident on aboundary at an angle greater than the critical angle.Visualize:

Solve: (a) To reach your eye, a light ray must refract through the top surface of the water and into the air. Youcan see in the figure that rays coming from the bottom of the tank are incident on the top surface at fairly smallangles, but rays from the marks near the top of the tank are incident at very large angles—greater than the criticalangle. These rays undergo total internal reflection in the water and do not exit into the air where they can be seen.Thus you can see the marks from the bottom of the tank upward.(b) The highest point you can see is the one from which the ray reaches the top surface at the critical angle θc. For awater-air boundary, the critical angle is θc = sin–1(1/1.33) = 48.75°. You can see from the figure that the depth ofthis point is such that

Solve: (a) Light rays from the fire enter the lake right at the edge. Even though the rays in air are incident on thesurface at a range of angles from ≈0° up to 90°, the larger index of refraction of water causes the rays to traveldownward in the water with angles ≤θc, the critical angle. Some of these rays can reach a fish that is deep in thelake, but a shallow fish out from shore is in the “exclusion zone” that is not reached by any rays from the fire. Thusa fish needs to be deep to see the light from the fire.(b) The shallowest fish that can see the fire is one that receives light rays refracting into the water at the criticalangle θc.
