The figure shows the path of a ray of light as it travels through ethyl alcohol and crosses a boundary into an unknown medium. The angles of incidence and refraction are 62° and 55.6°, respectively. What is the speed of this ray of light as it travels through the unknown medium?

Two converging lenses, each with a focal length of 8 cm, are used in combination to form an image of an object that is located 24 cm to the left of the left lens in the pair. The distance between the lenses is 16 cm. Where is the final image located relative to the lens on the right? The diagram is not drawn to scale.

A laser is mounted on a table 1.06 m above the ground, pointed at a vertical mirror a horizontal distance 3.5 m away. The laser beam strikes the mirror 1.62 m above the ground. Behind the laser is a wall, 2.8 m from the aperture where the laser beam emerges. At what height above the ground does the reflected beam strike the wall.
