    Read: 21.4, 21.5, 22.1 – 22.4, 23.1 and then do the problems. Due on Friday, October 31.
    1) Two plane mirrors are oriented with an angle of 120° spotlight
    between them. See diagram. A light ray is incident on Mirror
    #1 at an angle of 65°. Calculate the angle, θ, at which it
    leaves Mirror #2. 2.5 m

    5) A point source of light is submerged 2.2 m below the surface
    2) When in California, Skid listens to The Arrow at 107.1 MHz. of a swimming pool. The light source emits light in all
    What is the wavelength of this radio signal? directions. On the surface of the pool, directly above the
    source, a circular area is illuminated. What is the maximum
    3) A classroom window is made from a piece of flint glass that is radius of this circle?
    4 mm thick. How long does it take light to pass through the
    glass? 6) The distance from a concave mirror to its focal point is 30
    cm. An object is placed 45 cm from the mirror. a) Draw a
    Light Ray Diagram for this situation, b) Calculate the
    image distance and the magnification, c) Describe the
    state of the image (real/virtual, upright/inverted,
    bigger/smaller).

    7) The radius of curvature for a convex mirror is 20 cm. An


    object is placed 30 cm from the mirror. a) Draw a Light Ray
    Diagram for this situation, b) Calculate the image distance
    and the magnification, c) Describe the state of the image
    (real/virtual, upright/inverted, bigger/smaller).

    ANSWERS:
    1) 55°
    2) 2.8 m
    3) 2.21 x 10-11 s
    4) 12.1 m
    5) 2.5 m

    7) b) -7.5 cm, 0.25

    4) Mitch and Skid are out hunting sharks in their boat. While
    drunk, Skid drops Mitch’s lucky guitar pick into the water.
    They use the spotlight to try to locate it before Mitch forces
    Skid into the shark infested waters to retrieve it. See
    diagram. Determine the distance, d, which is the distance
    from the edge of the boat to the location of the guitar pick.
