There's a neat way to propagate light over long distances indefinitely.

A) If you had two positive lenses with focal length 100mm placed along the same optical axis such that they are 200mm from each other. Find the final image of the a light source placed at 110mm from the first lens.

B) Now, suppose you had three lenses placed in tandem along the same optical axis so that the space between each is 200mm. Repeat A) for a light source placed at 110mm from the first lens.

C) Draw a ray diagram for A), and B). Also, predict and explain how this would look if you added more lenses indefinitely.

You walk into the classroom and find two converging lenses, one with a focal length of 10 cm, and another with a focal length of 15 cm. You also find a clear light bulb, which has a 2 cm filament. When you turn the light bulb on, the filament gets very bright. a) Your first task is to set up the light bulb, the one with of the lenses, then a piece of paper, so that you make an image...

A light ray in air, indicated by the arrow, is incident on a convex glass lens at an angle of 31° to the normal. a) Some of the light will be reflected from the lens. At what angle will it be reflected? b) Find the angle at which the light ray is refracted when entering the lens. (5 points) c) Find the angle at which the ray is incident on the other side of the lens and the angle of...

Question: If we had put the arrow and the lamp really far away in Part I, what would be the distance between the (5cm converging) lens and the image? What would the magnification be? What would the orientation be? (Hint: there's both a mathematical and physical way to understand this.) Part I: Converging Lenses First, grab the lamp, and place it at one end of the optical track. Ensure that the light is directed to shine on the rest of...

Background: Part I: Converging Lenses First, grab the lamp, and place it at one end of the optical track. Ensure that the light is directed to shine on the rest of the track (without anything in the way of the "window" on the lamp). Then, select a 5cm converging lens (red tape), and place it in a holster in the middle optical track. Place the arrow in a clip stand, and place that clip stand in a holster in between...
