    CHAPTER 23 GEOMETRIC OPTICS QUESTIONS 1.

    What would be the appearance of the Moon if it had (a) rough surface; (b) a polished mirrorlike surface? Archimedes is said to have burned the whole Roman fleet in the harbor of Syracuse by focusing the rays of the Sun with a huge spherical mirror. Is this reasonable?

    2.

    3. Although a plane mirror appears to reverse left and right, it doesnt reverse up and down. Explain. 4. When you look down into a swimming pool or a lake, are you likely to underestimate or overestimate its depth? Explain. How does the apparent depth vary with the viewing angle? (Use ray diagrams.) 5. How can you see a round drop of water on a table even though the water is transparent and colorless?
