EXERCISE 11. An observer on the west-facing beach of a large lake is watching the beginning of a sunset. The water is

very smooth except for some areas with small ripples. The observer notices that some areas of the water

appear blue and some appear pink. Why does the water appear to be different colors in different areas?

2. When looking through a glass window to the outdoors at night, your sometimes see a double image of

yourself. Why?

the angle of reflection from the surface of the material depend on the wavelength ?

is a testimonial to the dispersion occurring in the glass. Suppose a beam of light enters a slab of material

with parallel sides at an angle to the normal. When the beam exits the other side, traveling in the same

direction as the original beam, is there any evidence of dispersion?

7. Why does the focal length of a lens depend on the lens material, but the focal length for a mirror is

independent of the material from which the mirror is made?

8. A virtual image of often described as one through which light rays do not travel, as they do for a real image.

13. In some cars the right (passenger) side view mirror bears the notation : 'Objects in the mirror are closer

than they appear". What feature of the mirror requires this warning? What advantages does the mirror have

to compensate for this disadvantage? Do cars viewed in this mirror appear to be moving faster or slower

than they would if viewed in a plane mirror ?

The other thin flint glass prism is combinedwith the crown glass prism such that the net mean deviation is 1.5° anticlockwise. Determine the angle(in degree) of the flint glass prism.

9. A plane mirror 50 cm long , is hung parallel to a vertical wall of a room, with its lower edge 50 cmabove the ground. A man stands infront of the mirror at a distance 2 m away from the mirror. If his eyesare at a height 1.8 m above the ground, find the length of the floor between him & the mirror, visible tohim reflected from the mirror. (nearest integer value)

10. In figure shown AB is a plane mirror of length 40cm placed at a height 40cm from ground. There is alight source S at a point on the ground. Find the minimum height of a man (eye height) required to seethe image of the source if he is standing at a point A on ground shown in figure. (in the muliple of 20cm)
