Draw a ray diagram for an object at two different distances from a mirror. Mark the location of the eye on the farthest object and then draw the axis from that point through the near object to the mirror. As you draw the rays, you might remember something about isosceles triangles

It will show the fisherman s direct line of sight. Now, figure out where he should aim. Use the ray diagram from 20.
22 During a lunar eclipse, the moon is not completely dark, but is often a deep red in color. Why? 1. High frequencies pass more easily through the long grazing path through the Earth s atmosphere to be refracted finally onto the moon. 2. Low frequencies pass more easily through the long grazing path through the Earth s atmosphere to be refracted finally onto the moon. 3. During the sunset, the Sun transfers some red light to the moon. 23 The separation of white light into its component colors is called 1. refraction. 2. dispersion. 3. reflection. 4. diffraction. 5. polarization. 24 Of the following statement about the speeds of the various colors of light in glass, which is true? 1.

Answer in units of J 28 A cannon fires a 0.276 kg shell with initial velocity v i = 9.5 m/s in the direction θ= 53 above the horizontal.

Find the efficiency of the engine. 31 (part 2 of 2) Find the thermal energy expelled in each cycle. Answer in units of J Think. What is conserved? How much KE before? How much is lost in an elastic bump? How much should remain? Look through chapters 7 & 8. O boy! A projectile motion problem. Look at the diagram. What are you to find? The vertical position? No. Δh doesn t go to the ground. So, what are you to find? Do you need the mother or equation or grandma? Absolute pressure included both the pressure from the water AND the pressure from the air. Remember: P fluid = d weight h Think. Draw your energy diagram: Heat in, Work out, Heat out. Efficiency = Useful Work Total Energy Used Think? How much energy was thrown away? Check your energy diagram.
20 Why does the sun look red at sunrise and sunset but not at noon? 1. Red light is easily scattered through the air since its frequency is the lowest. At noon, sunlight travels through the least amount of atmosphere with little transmission of high frequency light to the surface. 2. The sun is colder at sunrise and sunset than at noon. 3. Red light is easily transmitted through the air since its frequency is the lowest. At noon, sunlight travels through the least amount of atmosphere with little scattering of high frequency light to the surface. 4. The temperature at noon is warmer than at sunrise and sunset. 5. Our eyes are more sensitive to the red light at sunrise and sunset than at noon. 6. The sun itself is red at sunrise and sunset, but is yellow at noon; it has nothing to do with the effect of the atmosphere. Think of the whole blue sky problem. Why is it scattered first? What is different about sunset/sunrise that would make red scatter at those times?
