Please name every day items that apply to the certain topics regarding optics:

1) Reflection on plane mirrors

2) Interference of light

3) Reflection on curved mirrors

4) Refraction of light

5) Diffraction of light

6) Diverging or converging lenses

7) Polarization of light

I need to include a photo of each concept (7 photos) that I need to take with my phone/camera. For each picture, can you please explain what topic the picture exemplifies using physics terms? Ex: "It shows polarization of light through... etc"

Thank you so much!

Gravity is the longest acting (in terms of distance) and the weakest of the four fundamental forces in the universe. If gravity is so weak, why does it affect all of our lives? Give an example of gravity working in your own life and the universe as a whole.

A child holds a helium-filled rubber balloon with a volume of 0.01 m3 in air at 0 degrees C. Neglect the weight of the rubber and string and the buoyant force of the air on the child.

(a) How great a force must she exert to keep the balloon from rising?

(b) How many such balloons would it take to lift a 20-keg child?

Some useful data: At 0 degrees C, the density of the helium is 0.178 kg/m3 and the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3.

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to keep leap tall buildings in a single bound. The infant of Krypton is now the Man of Steel: Superman!

a) Given what you know about Superman from this description, estimate the maximum speed with which he can jump. State explicitly your assumptions and any limitations of your model, and comment on the result. If you decide to use the acceleration due to gravity, you may estimate a value of g=10 m/s^2. Note, the empire state building is approx. 450 m to the tip of the spire.

PLEASE SHOW ALL YOUR CALCULATIONS

10. You are the veterinarian at a zoo that has 21 zebras. Each zebra needs to get four
intravenous shots (over the course of a month) of a vaccination against Zebra Zombie Disease.
Each injection contains 750 mg of the active vaccination agent. How many grams of the active
vaccination agent should you order for the month?

12. A municipal transit system has 85 diesel buses that travel an average of 47,000 miles per
year each. Because of the start and stop nature of a bus route, they only get an average of 5
MPG. If diesel costs $2.75 per gallon, how much is the annual fuel bill?
13. A block of metal is 5 cm by 7 cm by 9 cm and has a mass of 854 grams. Calculate the density
of the block and give your best guess of what it is made of. Express the density in both g/cm3
and kg/m3.
14. You have a 100-watt light bulb on your front porch that is turned on 10 hours every night. If
the cost of electricity is 12 cents per KWHR (kilowatt hour), how much does that bulb add to
your monthly electric bill?
15. The parking lot of a college campus has 200 lamp posts. Each lamp post has two 1200-watt
light bulbs. The lights are on an average of 10 hours per night year-round. Calculate the annual
electric cost for the lights if the college pays 8.5 cents per KWHR.

I'm currently interested in 1-dimensional (linear) Sigma Models.

In the theory of 2-Dimensional GLSM, the fields can be viewed as an embedding of the worldsheet in some target Manifold of higher dimension.

Is there a similar, geometrical, interpretation of the 1-dimensional case?

So far i could only find references to superconformal quantum mechanics, where the N-dimensional target space is taken to be N particles. I'm however interested in geometrical insight

See for example Witten's famous "Phases of N=2 Theories in 2 Dimensions", is there an equivalent in 1-Dimension?
