Quiz 9 Flashcards
index of refraction symbol
n
a smaller θ = _____ index of refraction
larger
n1 = air
n2 = water
water is thicker than air, so the θ in the water is _____ than the θ in the air
less
if θ1 < θ2, then…
there is a refracted beam
if θ1 = θ2, then…
total internal reflection, θ=90
if θ1 > θ2, then…
no refracted beam
c =
critical angle
for a diverging lens, (f=-40cm) find the image distance for an object 22.0cm from the lens. determine the magnification
how fast is light traveling in the liquid if x=4.80cm?
what is dispersion?
light going into another medium and color components are spread out (into component wavelengths)
does index of refraction depend on wavelength
slightly
a converging lens (f=+20cm) is 37cm in front of a screen. where should the object be placed?
a converging lens is magnified by 4 with a screen placed 10cm from the lamp. where should the object be placed and what is its focal length?
what is N
near point
shortest distance at which sharp images can be seen
generally 25cm
what is far point?
farthest distance at which sharp images can be seen
generally infinite
myopia is being near sighted.
this means the light is _____ and you need a _____ lens to correct it
overconverged
diverging
hyperoxia means being far sighted. this means the light is _____ and you need a _____ lens to correct it
under converged
converging
a student can only focus on objects between 80cm-50cm. what type of lens do they need?
bifocal
when 2 waves superimpose, what determines constructive vs destructive interference?
phase relation - how the path difference relates to a wavelength
for a constructive wave, ∆1=
mλ
for a destructive wave, ∆1=
(m + 1/2)λ
path difference is found by ∆1=
dsinθ
linear distance from a certain fringe:
y=Ltanθ
if small angle approximation applies, tanθ=
y/L
