The depth of the water body is 2 meters.
(a) There shall be a light source at the bottom of the body of water, a disc of opaque material floating on the
the center is exactly above the light source. Calculate the minimum radius of the disk so that none
the light beam from the light source would not escape from the water. Make an explanatory drawing with it applied
the path of the light rays and the angles used in the formulas.
b) Calculate the apparent depth of the body of water for an observer looking at the water surface at an angle of 30 degrees
with respect to the vertical. Make an explanatory drawing showing the course of the light rays and the formulas
angles used.

The speed of a water wave is described by v= (gd)^(1/2) where d is the water depth, assumed to be small compared to the wavelength. Because their speed changes, water waves refract when moving into a region of different depth. Suppose waves approach the coast from a storm far away to the north–northeast. Demonstrate that the waves move nearly perpendicular to the shoreline when they reach the beach. Suppose waves approach the coast, carrying energy with uniform density along originally straight...

Intense monoenergetic light source shines on piece of metal. When wavelength of the light is more than 620 nm, no photoelectrons are emitted from metal, and shorter wavelengths begin to produce a flux of photoelectrons. A 248 nm light source is aimed at the same metal, hitting the metal with a power of 0.75 W. (a) What is the range of energies of photoelectrons produced? (b) The electrons pass through a single slit, with slit width a= 150 nm and...

The illumination of an object by a light source is directly proportional to the strength of the source and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. If two light sources, one three times as strong as the other, are placed 11 ft apart, how far away from the stronger light source should an object be placed on the line between the two sources so as to receive the least illumination? (Round your answer to two decimal...
