Chapter 34 Problem 40

Question

A glass sphere has radius R = 5.0 cm and index of refraction 1.6. A paperweight is constructed by slicing through the sphere along a plane that is 2.0 cm from the center of the sphere, leaving height h = 3.0 cm. The paperweight is placed on a table and viewed from directly above by an observer who is distance d = 8.0 cm from the tabletop Fig. 34-38 40. (Fig. 34-38). When viewed through the paperweight, how far away does the tabletop appear to be to the observer?

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 34 problem number 40 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A glass sphere has radius R = 5.0 cm and index of refraction 1.6. A paperweight is constructed by slicing through the sphere along a plane that is 2.0 cm from the center of the sphere, leaving height h = 3.0 cm. The paperweight is placed on a table and viewed from directly above by an observer who is distance d = 8.0 cm from the tabletop Fig. 34-38 40. (Fig. 34-38). When viewed through the paperweight, how far away does the tabletop appear to be to the observer?
From the textbook chapter IMAGES you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
