can someone show the optical geometry behind the vanishing clear spheres/ jelly marbles phenomena?

Expert Solution

The vanishing jelly marbles phenomena happens because the jelly marbles have the same refractive index as the water they are placed in.

We are able to see normal transparent object in water because they have a refractive index different from that of water. This bends the light as per Snell's Law, allowing the observer to make out the surface of the object.

In the case of the vanishing jelly marbles, since they have the same refractive index of the water, they don't bend the light, and it passes through as it would if the medium was only water. Because of this, we can't see the marbles.

In the case of an object which has different refractive index than water

The ray emerges skew in relation to the initial incident ray.

In the case of vanishing marbles that have a refractive index similar to water

The emergent ray is parallel to the initial incident ray.

Can someone explain the logic behind this question? The addition of 1 g of which of the following compounds to distilled water would cause the least change in pH? a) Cs(OH) b)HCl c) LiH d) LiOH I know that HCL is a strong acid which elimates that since it will affect PH. In class we had to memorize that group I metals with OH are strong bases making which LiOH and CsOH follow. The answer is A. The solution to...

Can someone clear up these confusions re the eye and vision for me? - When a virtual image is formed through the use of artificial lens (glasses) does this means that simultaneously a real image is formed on the retina? Or is it that it is possible to see some images with the aid of lens by bypassing the retina? - On the principal axis, why is the 'far point' of a person suffering from hyperopia considered negative?

Can someone do this in Excel and show me the formulas as well. The management of Tri-County Air Taxi, Inc., is considering the replacement of an old machine used in its helicopter repair facility. It is fully depreciated but it can be used by the corporation through 20x5. If management decides to replace the old machine, James Transportation Company has offered to purchase it for $69,000 on the replacement date. The old machine would have no salvage value in 20x5....

In general, the larger the value of the standard error, the more NARROW or WIDER becomes the confidence Interval.

Therefore it is better...
