A light ray is traveling through air hits a transparent material at an angle of from the normal. It is then refracted at . What is the speed of light in the material?

2

For most people, the nearest distance that objects can be located away from the eye and still seen clearly is . This is referred to as the near point; if the object comes any closer, the object cannot be seen clearly. Suppose that a person who needs glasses cannot see objects clearly if they are closer than from the eye; that is to say, their near point is . A lens with what refractive power is needed in order to correct this person's vision to bring their near point to ?

A convex lens connected to a projector projects an image onto a board of an object that is away from the lens. If the object is tall and the inverted image is tall, what is the focal length of the projector lens?

6
