1. A fish swims below the surface of the water at point P
A fish swims below the surface of the water at point P. An observer at point O sees the fish at:
1) a greater depth than it really is
2) the same depth
3) a shallower depth than it really is

2. A fish swims below the surface of the water at point P
A fish swims below the surface of the water at point P. An observer at point O sees the fish at:
1) a greater depth than it really is
2) the same depth
3) a shallower depth than it really is

3. A fish swims below the surface of the water
A fish swims below the surface of the water. Suppose an observer is looking at the fish from point O, which is directly above the fish. The observer sees the fish at:
1) a greater depth than it really is
2) the same depth
3) a shallower depth than it really is

4. A fish swims below the surface of the water
A fish swims below the surface of the water. Suppose an observer is looking at the fish from point O, which is directly above the fish. The observer sees the fish at:
1) a greater depth than it really is
2) the same depth
3) a shallower depth than it really is

5. To shoot a fish with a gun, should you aim directly at the image
that you see, slightly above the image, or slightly below it?
1) aim directly at the image
2) aim slightly above
3) aim slightly below

6. To shoot a fish with a gun, should you aim directly at the image
slightly above or slightly below?
1) aim directly at the image
2) aim slightly above
3) aim slightly below
You will see the fish at a position above its actual position, so you should aim below this image.

7. To shoot a fish with a laser pistol, should you aim directly at the
image slightly above or slightly below?
A) aim directly at the image
B) aim slightly above
C) aim slightly below, about where you would aim a gun
D) aim even further below than you would aim with a gun

8. light from fish
laser beam
To shoot a fish with a laser pistol, should you aim directly at the
image slightly above or slightly below?
A) aim directly at the image
B) aim slightly above
C) aim slightly below, about where you would aim a gun
D) aim even further below than you would aim with a gun
The light from the laser beam will also bend when it hits the air-water interface, so aim directly the fish.

9. An observer views two closely spaced lines through an angled piece of glass. To the observer, the lines appear:
1) shifted to the right
2) shifted to the left
3) spaced farther apart
4) spaced closer together
5) no change -- exactly as before

12. Snells’ Law
We can classify materials by their “index of refraction” defined as
the ratio of
speed of light in a vacuum, c
speed of light through medium, v
i.e.
Note then that:
reversing
the
indices!
So often Snell’s Law is also written as: n1sin1 = n2sin2

13. A ray of light is shown entering a glass prism, bending
down (toward the normal) as it enters.
As the ray re-enters the air through the opposite face of the prism
it bends up.
it passes through without bending.
it bends further down.

14. A ray of light is shown entering a glass prism, bending
down (toward the normal) as it enters.
Glass-into-air:
light bends
away from normal
Air-into-glass: light
bends toward normal
As the ray re-enters the air through the opposite face of the prism
it bends up.
it passes through without bending.
it bends further down.
