Your eye is designed to work in air. Surrounding it with water impairs its ability to form images. Consequently, scuba divers wear masks to allow them to form images properly underwater. However, this does affect the perception of distance, as you will calculate.
Consider a flat piece of plastic (index of refraction np) with water (index of refraction nw) on one side and air (index of refraction na) on the other. If light is to move from the water into the air, it will be refracted twice: once at the water/plastic interface and once at the plastic/air interface.
A) If the light strikes the plastic (from the water) at an angle θw, at what angle θa, does it emerge from the plastic (into the air)?
Express your answer in terms of Nw, Np, Na and θw.
B)What is the distance to the object in terms of θw and L?
Express your answer in terms of θw and L.

People with normal vision cannot focus their eyes underwater if they aren't wearing a face mask or goggles and there is water in contact with their eyes. in a simplified model of the human eye, the aqueous and vitreous humors and the lens all have a refractive index of 1.40, and all the refraction occurs at the cornea, whose vertex is 2.60 cm from the retina.with the simplified model of the eye, what corrective lens (specified by focal length as measured in air) would be needed to enable a person underwater to focus an infinitely distant object? (be careful-the focal length of a lens underwater is not the same as in air! assume that the corrective lens has a refractive index of 1.62 and that the lens is used in eyeglasses, not goggles, so there is water on both sides of the lens. assume that the eyeglasses are 2.05cm in front of the eye.)

Imagine an isolated positive point charge q (many times larger than the charge on a single proton). there is a charged particle a (whose charge is much smaller than charge q) at a distance from the point charge q. on which of the following quantities does the magnitude of the electric field created by charge q at particle a's position depend? check all that apply.the type of the charge on the charged particle athe relative orientation between q and a (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the specific location of the charged particle a (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the amount of the charge on the point charge qthe specific location of the point charge q (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the distance between the point charge q and the charged particle athe amount of the charge on the charged particle a
