4. This time, close your left eye and look directly at the dot with your right eye. Bring the module slowly toward your
face. What happens to the cross as you move the module towards your face?
In this situation, when I focus on the dot, the cross disappears and as I continue to move forward it
reappears again.
When I closed my right eye, it appears that the finger jumped on its right side. Then, I tried closing my
left eye, the object moved just a little bit tot the left. This means that my right eye is more dominant than the
left one because the object moved more to the right, when I closed my right eye.

2. A diver shines a flashlight upward from beneath the water at a 35.2° angle to the vertical. At what angle does the
light leave the water? Draw a diagram for your answer.
Given: Substitution:
n1 = 1.33 (water) 1.33 sin (35.2°) = 1.0003 sin Θ2
n2 = 1.0003 (air)
Θ1 = 35.2° Solution:
1.33
sin (35.2°) = sin Θ2
Unknown: 1.0003
Θ2 =? sin Θ2 = (1.329) sin (35.2°)
sin Θ2 = 0.7664…
Equation: Θ2 = sin-1 (0.7664…)
n1 sin Θ1 = n2 sin Θ2 Θ2 = 50.03°
3. Rays of the Sun are seen to make a 36.0° angle to the vertical beneath the water. At what angle above the horizon
is the Sun? Draw a diagram for your answer
2. A pencil that is 9.0 cm long is held perpendicular to the surface of a plane mirror with the tip of the pencil lead
12.0 cm from the mirror surface and the end of the eraser 21.0 cm from the mirror surface. (a) What is the length
of the image of the pencil that is formed by the mirror? (b) Which end of the image is closer to the mirror surface:
the tip of the lead or the end of the eraser? Explain your answer
a. The length of the image pencil formed is still 9 com long since the length of the image is equal to the
length of the object. The ratio between the object’s height and the image’s height is shown through the
lateral magnification. This means that the length of both image and object is equal.
b. The tip of the lead is closer to the mirror since the images’ distance (s’) is the same as the objects’ (s). The
object and image distance s and s’ is related simply by: s = -s’ (plane mirror). This means that the tip of
the lead in the image formed is closer than the eraser because it has the same distance with the object.
