Question 1:

Part (A)

Prove the thin lens equation, geometrically.
Also show that the focal length of a curved mirror is 1/2 the radius of curvature. DRAW good diagrams

Part (B).

White light is incident on a soap film (n = 1.33 and thickness = 800 nm) suspended in air. If the incident light makes a 45o angle with the normal to the film, what visible wavelengths with be constructively reflected?
