ANS: Look for the following in student drawings: points in the reflection should be equidistant from the four points on the original "F" on opposite side of mirror. PTS: 4 OBJ: 4-1 STA: E3.3 TOP: 10.2 MSC: C 41. ANS:

14 a) The image is 0.44 m from the lens. b) The image height is about 0.17 m. PTS: 4 OBJ: 4-1 STA: E3.3 TOP: 10.4 MSC: K/U 42. ANS: 100 cm PTS: 2 OBJ: 4-1 STA: E3.3 TOP: 10.3 MSC: T/I 43. ANS: 60 cm (inverted or negative) PTS: 2 OBJ: 4-1 STA: E3.3 TOP: 10.3 MSC: T/I 44. ANS: SALT stands for Size, Attitude, Location, and Type. Size tells you the relative size of the image compared to the object. Attitude signifies whether the image is upright or inverted. Location tells where the image is located with respect to C, F, and V. Type tells whether the image is real or virtual. These attributes precisely identify what the image is and where it is located.

15 The speed of light in carbon disulfide is 1.84 «10 8 m/s. PTS: 1 OBJ: 4-1 STA: E3.7 TOP: 11.1 MSC: K/U 46. ANS: 1.33 times faster PTS: 1 OBJ: 4-1 STA: E3.7 TOP: 11.1 MSC: T/I 47. ANS: Total internal reflection is the phenomenon in which incident light is not refracted but is entirely reflected back from the boundary. It occurs when light travels from a medium in which its speed is lower to a medium in which its speed is higher. PTS: 2 OBJ: 4-1 STA: E2.1 TOP: 11.2 MSC: C 48. ANS: Partial reflection and refraction a phenomenon in which some of the light that is travelling from one medium into another is reflected and some is refracted at the boundary between the media PTS: 2 OBJ: 4-1 STA: E2.1 TOP: 11.2 MSC: T/I 49. ANS: Sample answer: Light from an object in the sky refracts more and more as it passes through warmer and warmer air close to the ground. Finally, total internal reflection occurs, and the light bends so it now actually moves upward. The eye sees a virtual image the light as if it were coming from the ground rather than the sky. PTS: 1 REF: C OBJ: 12.7 Phenomena Related to Refraction LOC: E3.8 MSC: What Do You Understand? 50. ANS: refracting and reflecting In a refracting telescope, light from a distant object is collected and focussed by a convex lens. A reflecting telescope uses a concave mirror to collect and focus rays of light from a distant object. PTS: 4 OBJ: 4-2 STA: E1.2 TOP: 12.3 MSC: K/U 51. ANS: Diagram includes all of the following:

Light travels in straight lines, this is referred to as... this means that light does not bend...
