Two lenses lie 70 cm apart. The focal lengths are f₁ = 20 cm for lens 1 (converging), and f₂ = -51 cm
for lens 2 (diverging). A 15 cm tall object sits 45 cm in front of lens 1. Note: the 50 and 100 cm
markings on the line are not the positions of the lenses!
a) First, draw the positions of the two lenses. Then draw a ray diagram with all the primary rays.
Include the location of image 1 formed by lens 1 and the final image formed by lens 2. (4

- Q3:A tow truck pulls a car that is stuck in the mud, with a force of 2 500 N as shown. The tow cable is under tension and therefore pulls downward and to the left on the pin at its upper end. The light pin is held in equilibrium by forces exerted by the two bars A and B. Each bar is a strut: that is, each is a bar whose weight is small com-pared to the forces it exerts, and which exerts forces only through hinge pins at its ends. Each strut exerts a force directed parallel to its length. (i) Determine the force of tension or compression in each strut. Proceed as follows: Make a guess as to which way (pushing or pulling) each force acts on the top pin. (4) (ii) Draw a free-body diagram of the pin. Use the condition for equilibrium of the pin to translate the free-body diagram into equations. From the equations calculate the forces exerted by struts A and B. 4A negative answer means the direction should be reversed, but the absolute value correctly gives the magnitude of the force.

To the right is a diagram of the various layers (thicknesses to scale) and the definition of the bending radius (not to scale). Kiran needs to route a beam of A = 1550 nm light through a tight mechanical setup and needs to keep the curves larger than the listed minimum bend radius (Long Term). Assume that any curves are circular (i.e. the curve makes a perfect circular arc segment) and Coating Cladding Core Cladding Coating that all the light is perfectly aligned when it enters the fibre. Bending Radius a) Draw a diagram of the situation showing the light beams, the core, and core-cladding interface of the fibre. Include a circular bend of the minimum bending radius, and the path of the light beams as they reflect. b) Based on the minimum bending radius, what is the ratio of the indices of refraction of the core and cladding material?

According to a tour guide, the tank is 2.0 m deep. The index of refraction of the water is the usual one of 1.33, and Tobenna is standing right at the edge of the tank. a) Tobenna's excellent depth perception tells him the penguin is 5.3 m away. He has taken PHYS 102 so he knows that this is just an apparent distance. Determine the apparent and actual horizontal distances of the penguin from the edge of the tank. b) If Tobenna crouches down so his head is only 1.0 m above the ground, will he perceive the penguin to be closer or further from the wall than in a)? c) Is there a place where Tobenna could stand where he would not see the penguin at all, despite being able to draw a straight line between his eyes and the penguin?
