(4 marks) What image can Mr han see most possibly as he looks in the plane mirror? (Head, hands or feet of Mrs han, Irene or himself?) (1 mark)

6 6 (a) Solutions Since Mr han's feet are near the lower right corner of the plane mirror and the normal of the plane mirror is horizontal, the reflected ray must travel towards the upper left corner of the plane mirror. (y the laws of reflection.) Mr han's eyes are near the upper right corner of the plane mirror, so he cannot see the image of his feet. Marks (b) Mrs han's feet. 2 light ray travels from medium X to air. The following graph shows the relation between sin i and sin r. (a) alculate the refractive index of X. (b) Find the value of i when sin r is maximum. What is the physical meaning of this value of i? (3 marks) Solutions Marks (a) sinr Refractive index = sin i 1 = slope of graph 1M 0.5 = 0.4 = 1.25 (b) sin r attains its maximum when sin r = 1.0. When this happens, 1 sin i = M => i = 53.1 o This is the critical angle of medium X. 3 (a) Karen stands in front of a plane mirror. Her eyes are 3 m from it. (See Figure a.) There is a clock 0.5 m behind her eyes. She sees the image of the clock in the mirror.

7 7 Figure a (i) (ii) State FOUR properties of the image of the clock as observed by Karen. (4 marks) Figure b shows the image of the clock as observed by Karen. Figure b What is the time? (1 mark) (iii) How far is the image of the clock from Karen's eyes? (b) Karen wants to see the back of her head. Therefore, she arranges two mirrors in two different ways. (See Figure c.) Figure c (i) opy Figure c and complete the path of the ray in each arrangement. (3 marks) (ii) Explain which arrangement ( or ) Karen should use. (c) Karen draws a ray diagram showing the diffuse reflection in her notebook. (See Figure d.) Figure d Explain why the ray diagram is incorrect and draw the correct one. (3 marks)

8 8 Solutions (a) (i) ny four of the following (1 mark for each): of the same size as the object virtual laterally inverted upright/erect as far behind the mirror as the object is in front (ii) The time is 4:05. (iii) Distance between the image of the clock and the mirror = 3.5 m Distance between the image and Karen's eyes = ( ) m = 6.5 m (b) (i) Marks 4 x (1 mark for each reflection) 3 x (ii) In arrangement, her head blocks the light from her back. Therefore she should use arrangement. (c) The angle of reflection is not equal to the angle of incidence in each reflection. (1 mark for each correct reflected ray) 2 x 4 Jack tries to find out the refractive index of a plastic as follows. He directs a light ray O to enter the semicircular block made of the plastic. Part of the light is refracted into the air along OE and part of it is reflected along O. fter the experiment, he finds that the refractive index of the plastic is 1.58.

9 9 *(a) Describe how the set-up could be used to measure the refractive index of the plastic. (5 marks) (b) If the angle of incidence θ is 30 o, what is the angle of refraction φ? (c) alculate the critical angle of the plastic block. (d) The angle θ is increased from 0 o to 90 o. riefly describe the changes in the refract ed ray OE. (e) Describe briefly TWO applications of total internal reflection. (4 marks) Solutions (a) Measure several sets of readings of φ and θ. Plot a graph of sin φ against sin θ. Fit the best straight line through the points. The slope of the graph is the refractive index of the plastic. (effective communication) (b) pplying Snell s law, (c) (d) (e) sinφ n = sinθ sinφ 1.58 = sin 30 φ = 52.2 o pplying Snell s law, critical angle of the plastic block Marks M = sin n = 1 sin = 39.3 o s θ increases, the refracted ray OE turns clockwise. When θ > 39.3 o, OE disappears. The light can be transmitted along an optical fibre by total internal reflection. Therefore, optical fibre can be used in telecommunication. glass prism behaves like a perfect mirror when total internal reflection occurs. Therefore, it can be used as mirrors in periscopes/ binoculars. 1M

10 10 5 (a) ndy looks at a coin in a bowl of water, as shown in Figure a. Figure a (i) Draw a ray diagram to show how ndy views the coin. (1 mark) (ii) In your diagram, indicate the real depth and apparent depth. (3 marks) (b) light ray hits a 45 o -90 o -45 o plastic prism, as shown in Figure b. The ray splits at T, with one ray travelling along the side TR of the prism and one ray along TU. Figure b (i) Explain why there is no bending of the light ray at S and U.

(iv) alculate the refractive index of the prism. (c) periscope consists of two right-angled prisms. Draw a diagram to show the structure of a periscope. In your diagram, draw two light rays passing through the periscope. (4 marks) (a) (i) & (ii) Solutions Marks (correct refracted rays) (correct image of the coin) (correct label of real depth) (correct label of apparent depth) (b) (i) It is because the light ray enters the prism along the normal.

11 11 (ii) (1) Refraction. (2) Reflection. (iii) (c) (iv) (correct normal and labels of ) = 45 o Refractive index 1 1M = sin 1 = sin45 = 1.41 (1 mark for correct position of each prism) (1 mark for each correct light ray) 2 x 2 x 6 (a) Johnny and Jenny go to a lake this Sunday. Jenny dives in the lake while Johnny stays on the shore for sightseeing. (See Figure a.) Figure a (i) (ii) Draw a ray diagram to show how Johnny sees Jenny. Draw on the diagram the image of Jenny's eye. Does Jenny appear further away or nearer than she really is? (1 mark) (iii) (iv) Draw a ray diagram to show how Jenny sees Johnny. Draw on the diagram the image of Johnny. Does Johnny appear further away or nearer than he really is? (1 mark)

12 12 (b) Jenny's eyes are 5 m below the water surface. She can see everything above the water surface but her view is squeezed into a cone of diameter d on the water surface. (See Figure b.) Such view is called a fish-eye view. Figure b (i) alculate the critical angle of water. Take the refractive index of water as (ii) alculate the diameter d of the cone of view on the surface. (iii) Outside the cone, what does the water surface look like? (1 mark) (iv) Why does Johnny not see any fish-eye view when he stays on the shore to look into the water? (v) When Johnny throws a stone into the water, Jenny finds the images formed by the water surface distort. Why? (a) (i) Solutions Marks (correct rays) (correct image) (ii) Nearer.

13 13 = 48.8 o (ii) d = 2 x 5 x tan = 2 x 5 x tan 48.8 o = 11.4 m 1M (iii) Outside the cone, the surface looks like a mirror. (iv) It is because fish-eye view can be seen only when we look at things which are in a less dense medium. s Johnny stays in a less dense medium (air) and looks at things in a denser medium ( water), no fish-eye view can be seen. (v) The water surface becomes rough. Diffuse reflection occurs and image is distorted. END OF PPER
