The following are top-view diagrams of solid cubes and cylinders. Assume that light travels more
slowly through the objects than through the surrounding medium. Each diagram shows a path for a
light ray that is not correct. In each case, there is at least one (and possibly more than one) error in each
diagram. Identify all the mistakes in the two diagrams and please explain your reasoning. Redraw the
correct path for the light ray on each diagram.

(Try the parallax method. Look at the image of an overhead light. Hold the tip of a pencil where think the image is. Move your head from side to side. If the image and pencil tip appear to you move relative to each other, adjust the position of the pencil back and forth until they appear to move as one.)arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements are true? Choose all that apply. O If light from a star passes through an exoplanet's atmosphere, we can look at the absorption spectra to determine what elements & compounds are in the atmosphere. O For a telescope, decreasing f, will increase the actual size of the image seen by the person looking through the telescope. O In crown glass, the index of refraction for blue light is 1.524 and for green light it is 1.519. Thus in crown glass, blue light is slower than green light. O If unpolarized light is incident on a polarizer, 0% will pass through. O The glasses for farsighted people create virtual images for them to see. O The smaller the diameter of an optic is, the larger the minimum angle it can discern is.arrow_forwardLight of wavelength 589x10°m is incident on crown class.
