Rays that pass through a lens very close to the lens axis are more sharply focused than those that are very far from the axis. The inability of a lens to sharply focus off-axis rays is called spherical aberration
This effect helps us to understand why A) we become more farsighted as we grow older. B) we become more nearsighted as we grow older. C) we can see only in black and white in dim light. D) it is easier to read in bright light than in dim light. E) a moving object is more readily detected than a stationary one.
A light ray enters a glass enclosed fish tank. From air it enters the glass at 20.° with respect to the surface, then emerges into the water. The index for glass is 1.50 and for water 1.33
(a) What is the angle of refraction in the glass? (b) What is the angle of refraction in the water? (c) Is there any incident angle in air for which the ray will not enter the water due to total internal reflection?
A truck moving at 36 m/s passes a police car moving at 45 m/s in the opposite direction. If the frequency of the siren is 500 Hz relative to the police car, what is the frequency heard by an observer in the truck after the police car passes the truck? (The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.)
a. 361 b. 636 c. 393 d. 396 e. 383
