Chapter 33.2, Problem 33.2TYU
You are standing on the shore of a lake. You spot a tasty fish swimming some distance below the lake surface. (a) If you want to spear the fish, should you aim the spear (i) above, (ii) below, or (iii) directly at the apparent position of the fish? (b) If instead you use a high-power laser to simultaneously kill and cook the fish, should you aim the laser (i) above, (ii) below, or (iii) directly at the apparent position of the fish?

A spacer is cut from a playing card of thickness 2.82 ✕ 10−4 m and used to separate one end of two rectangular, optically flat, 3.10 cm long glass plates with n = 1.65, as in the figure below. Laser light at 594 nm shines straight down on the top plate.
Two plates lie one on top of the other. They touch each other at the right end, and are separated by a small circle at the left end. Three arrows point vertically downward toward the top plate.
(a) Count the number of phase reversals for the interfering waves.
(b) Calculate the separation (in m) between dark interference bands observed on the top plate.

Problem 10: Two flat mirrors are connected to each other such that they make an angle of ψ. A laser enters the system and first reflects off the bottom mirror, then the top mirror. When the beam exits it makes an angle of θ = 107 degrees with respect to the initial beam (see figure).
Part (a) Write an expression for the angle, ψ, between the mirrors.
Part (b) Calculate this angle, ψ, in degrees.
