A standard 14.16-inch (0.360-meter) computer monitor is 1024 pixels wide and 768 pixels tall. Each pixel is a square approximate

ly 281 micrometers on each side. Up close, you can see the individual pixels, but from a distance they appear to blend together and form the image on the screen.
If the maximum distance between the screen and your eyes at which you can just barely resolve two adjacent pixels is 1.30 meters, what is the effective diameter d of your pupil? Assume that the resolvability is diffraction-limited. Furthermore, use lambda = 550 nanometers as a characteristic optical wavelength.

Answer:

0.0031 m

Explanation:

y = Length of pixel = 281 μm

L = Distance to screen = 1.3 m

\lambda = Wavelength = 550 nm

d = Pupil diameter

\theta = Angle

We have the expression

tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{L}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\dfrac{y}{L}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\dfrac{281\times 10^{-6}}{1.3}

We have the expression

sin\theta=1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{d}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{1.22\lambda}{sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{1.22\times 550\times 10^{-9}}{sin\left(tan^{-1}\frac{281\times 10^{-6}}{1.3}\right)}\\\Rightarrow d=0.0031\ m

The pupil diameter is 0.0031 m

How does the sun transfer energy to Earth?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

By electromagnetic waves.

Explanation:

The sun transfers heat to earth via electromagnetic waves  in twomajor  ways:

Radiation- this is the transfer of energy by invisible electromagnetic ways.

Convection-The radiant sun energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This transfer of heat through movement of fluids or usually air is called convection.

An underground tunnel has two openings, with one opening a few meters higher than the other. If air moves past the higher openin
klasskru [66]

Answer:

There would be a pressure drop in the direction of the higher opening. This will force air to move in from the lower opening and force it to leave through the higher opening. This will create a convectional movement of air, cooling and ventilating the tunnel.

Explanation:

This is in accordance with bernoulli's law of fluid flow which states that the pressure exerted by a moving fluid is lesser than it would exert if it were at rest.

Answer:

U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J

Explanation:

Data provided;

Capacitance of the original capacitor, C = 1.27 F

Potential difference applied to the original capacitor, V = 59.9 kV

= 59.9 × 10³ V

Now,

The Potential energy (U) for the capacitor is calculated as:

Potential energy of the original capacitor, U = \frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{2}}  × C × V²

on substituting the respective values, we get

U = \frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{2}}  × 1.27 × ( 59.9 × 10³ )²

or

U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J

A ski lift is used to transport people from the base of a hill to the top. If the lift leaves the base at a velocity of 15.5 m/s
Neko [114]
This can be calculated with the law of conservation of energy. The sky lift is starting with the speed v= 15.5 m/s and all of it's kinetic energy Ek is transformed to potential energy Ep so the energies have to be equal: Ep=Ek.
Since Ek=(1/2)*m*v² where m is mass and v is the speed, Ep=m*g*h, where m is mass, g= 9.81 m/s² and h is height. Now:

Ek=Ep 

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out,

(1/2)*v²=g*h, divide by g to get the height,

(1/2*g)*v²=h and now plug in the numbers:

h=12.245 m. Height of the hill rounded to the nearest tenth is h=12.25 m
