In searching the bottom of a pool at night, a watchman shinesa
narrow beam of light from his flashlight, 1.3 m above the
waterlevel, onto the surface of the water at a point 2.7 m from the
edgeof the pool (figure 23-50). where does the spot of light hit
thebottom of the pool, measured from the wall beneath his foot, if
thepool is 2.1 m deep?

The spot of light hits the bottom of the pool at 4.634 m from the wall beneath the watchman's feet.

Explanation:

Use the diagram attached below this answer to see the notation we will use.

For this case, we're trying to find x and we have:

h=1.3 m

b=2.1 m

a=2.7 m

We also know Snell's law for refraction:

$n_{1} sin\theta_{1}=n_{2}sin\theta_{2}$

n is the refractive index of each substance (in this case, air and water), which are:

$n_{air}=1$

$n_{water}=1.33$

Triangle theory says that $\theta_{1}=\beta$ and:

$tan\beta=\frac{a}{h}$

$\beta=arc tan(\frac{a}{h})=arctan(\frac{2.7m}{1.3m})=64.29$

Using Snell's law:

$\theta_{2}=arcsin(\frac{n_{1}sin\theta{1}}{n_{2}})=arcsin(\frac{1sin(64.29)}{1.33})=42.644$

Using triangle theory:

$tan\theta_{2}=\frac{(x-a)}{b}$

$x=b*tan\theta_{2}+a=2.1m*tan(42.644)+2.7m=4.634m$

Answer from: neneleey1941

The distance of spot of light from his feet equals 3.425 meters.

Explanation:

The situation is represented in the attached figure below

The angle of incidence is computed as

$\theta _i=tan^{-1}(\frac{1.3}{2.7})\\\\\therefore \theta _i=25.71^{o}$

Now by Snell's law we have

$n_{i}sin(\theta _i)=n_{r}sin(\theta _r)$

where

$n_{i},n_{r}$ are the refractive indices of the incident and the refracting medium respectively

$\theta _i,\theta _r$ are the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction respectively

Thus using the Snell's relation we have

$1.0\times sin(25.71)=1.33\times sin(\theta _r)\\\\\therefore sin(\theta _r)=\frac{sin(25.71}{1.33}=0.326\\\\\therefore \theta _r=sin^{-1}(0.326)=19.04^{o}$

from the attached figure we can see

$tan(\theta _r)=\frac{L_{2}}{H}=\frac{L_{2}}{2.1}\\\\\therefore L_{2}=2.1\times tan(19.04)=0.725m$

Thus distance of spot on the pool bed from his feet equals 2.7+0.725=3.425m

Answer from: Quest

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
