A "biconvex" lens is one in which both surfaces of the lens bulge outwards. Suppose you had a biconvex lens with radii of curvat

ure with magnitudes of |R1|=10cm and |R2|=15cm. The lens is made of glass with index of refraction nglass=1.5. We will employ the convention that R1 refers to the radius of curvature of the surface through which light will enter the lens, and R2 refers to the radius of curvature of the surface from which light will exit the lens.
C) What is the focal length of the lens if it is immersed in water (nwater = 1.3)
f= ____________ cm

What is the focal length f of this lens in air (index of refraction for air is nair=1)?

Answer:

focal length of the lens when immersed in water is 150cm

focal length of the lens if it is in air is 60cm.

It can be calculated using the equation

1/f = (Refractive index of the glass - Reflective index of the medium)x[ 1/R1 - 1/R2]

Where R1 is the radius of curvature of the surface through which light will enter the lens, and

R2 is the radius of curvature of the surface from which light will exit the lens.

Explanation:

Since n-water = 1.3

focal length of the lens if it is immersed in water is

1/f = (n - 1.3)[1/R2 -1/R1]

1/f = (1.5 - 1.3)[1/10 - 1/15]

1/f = 0.2 x (2/60)

f = 60/0.4 = 150cm

Since n-air = 1

focal length of the lens if it is in air is calculated as:

1/f = (n - 1)[1/R2 -1/R1]

1/f = (1.5 - 1)[1/10 - 1/15]

1/f = 0.5 x (2/60)

f = 60/1= 60cm

Note: The values are measured in centimetre and not converted to metre

Answer: f=150cm in water and f=60cm in air.

Explanation: Focal length is a measurement of how strong light is converged or diverged by a system. To find the variable, it can be used the formula:

\frac{1}{f} = (nglass - ni)(\frac{1}{R1} - \frac{1}{R2}).

nglass is the index of refraction of the glass;

ni is the index of refraction of the medium you want, water in this case;

R1 is the curvature through which light enters the lens;

R2 is the curvature of the surface which it exits the lens;

Substituting and calculating for water (nwater = 1.3):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1.3)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

\frac{1}{f} = 0.2(\frac{1}{30})

f = \frac{30}{0.2} = 150

For air (nair = 1):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

f = \frac{30}{0.5} = 60

In water, the focal length of the lens is f = 150cm.

In air, f = 60cm.

shusha [124]

Answer:

Part a) When collision is perfectly inelastic

v_m = \frac{m + M}{m} \sqrt{5Rg}

Part b) When collision is perfectly elastic

v_m = \frac{m + M}{2m}\sqrt{5Rg}

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that collision is perfectly inelastic

so here we will have

mv_m = (m + M)v

so we have

v = \frac{mv_m}{m + M}

now we know that in order to complete the circle we will have

v = \sqrt{5Rg}

\frac{mv_m}{m + M} = \sqrt{5Rg}

now we have

v_m = \frac{m + M}{m} \sqrt{5Rg}

Part b)

Now we know that collision is perfectly elastic

so we will have

v = \frac{2mv_m}{m + M}

now we have

\sqrt{5Rg} = \frac{2mv_m}{m + M}

v_m = \frac{m + M}{2m}\sqrt{5Rg}

If an electronic circuit experiences a loss of 3 decibels with an input power of 6 watts, what would its output power be, to the
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Output power of the circuit is 3 Watt.

Given:

loss in decibles = 3 dB

Input power = 6 Watt

To find:

Output power = ?

Formula used:

Output power = Input power × loss in ratio

Solution:

3 dB loss = 0.5 ratio

Output power is given by,

Output power = Input power × loss in ratio

Output power = 6 × 0.5

Output power = 3 Watt

Thus, output power of the circuit is 3 Watt.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The minimum running time is 319.47 s.

Explanation:

First we find the distance covered and time taken by the train to reach its maximum speed:

We have:

Initial Speed = Vi = 0 m/s    (Since, train is initially at rest)

Final Speed = Vf = 29.17 m/s

Acceleration = a = 0.25 m/s²

Distance Covered to reach maximum speed = s₁

Time taken to reach maximum speed = t₁

Using 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at₁

t₁ = (Vf - Vi)/a

t₁ = (29.17 m/s - 0 m/s)/(0.25 m/s²)

t₁ = 116.68 s

Using 2nd equation of motion:

s₁ = (Vi)(t₁) + (0.5)(a)(t₁)²

s₁ = (0 m/s)(116.68 s) + (0.5)(0.25 m/s²)(116.68 s)²

s₁ = 1701.78 m = 1.7 km

Now, we shall calculate the end time and distance covered by train, when it comes to rest on next station.

We have:

Final Speed = Vf = 0 m/s    (Since, train is finally stops)

Initial Speed = Vi = 29.17 m/s     (The train must maintain max. speed for min time)

Deceleration = a = - 0.7 m/s²

Distance Covered to stop = s₂

Time taken to stop = t₂

Using 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at₂

t₂ = (Vf - Vi)/a

t₂ = (0 m/s - 29.17 m/s)/(- 0.7 m/s²)

t₂ = 41.67 s

Using 2nd equation of motion:

s₂ = (Vi)(t₂) + (0.5)(a)(t₂)²

s₂ = (29.17 m/s)(41.67 s) + (0.5)(- 0.7 m/s²)(41.67 s)²

s₂ = 607.78 m = 0.6 km

Since, we know that the rest of 7 km, the train must maintain the maximum speed to get to the next station in minimum time.

The remaining distance is:

s₃ = 7 km - s₂ - s₁

s₃ = 7 km - 0.6 km - 1.7 km

s₃ = 4.7 km

Now, for uniform speed we use the relation:

s₃ = vt₃

t₃ = s₃/v

t₃ = (4700 m)/(29.17 m/s)

t₃ = 161.12 s

So, the minimum running time will be:

t = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

t = 116.68 s + 41.67 s + 161.12 s

<u>t = 319.47 s</u>

For a Physics course containing 10 students, the maximum point total for the quarter was 200. The point totals for the 10 studen
Talja [164]

Answer:

130.5

Explanation:

According to the stemplot attached (Which I think it is, and if not, then you only need to replace the procedure with your data and you should be fine), you need to calculate first the points of all ten students. In that plot, we can easily calculate the points.

The first number in the colum represents the centen of the point, while the numbers of the second column, represents the units of that centen, for example if you see:

16 | 8 5 6

This means that the point for the students are 168, 165 and 166. Three students, three points.

If you watch the stemplot, the points for the students are:

116, 118, 121, 124, 128, 133, 137, 142, 146 and 179.

The median can be calculated using the mean between the two values in the middle of the sequence.

In this case, half of ten is 5, so, the numbers from the middle in this sequence are 128 and 133, therefore:

Median = 128 + 133 / 2 = 130.5

Two window washers, Bob and Joe, are on a 3.00 m long, 395 N scaffold supported by two cables attached to its ends. Bob weighs 8
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

- the forces on the left hand side is 1.038 kN

- the forces on the right hand side is 1.483 kN

Explanation:

Given the data in the question, as illustrated in the image below;

Length of the scaffold = 3 m

weight of the scaffold = 395 N

Weight of Bob = 805 N and stands 1 m from the left end

weight of washing equipment = 500N and on sits 2 m from the left end

Weight of Joe = 820 N and stand 0.500 m from the right end

so the force on the left cable will be;

T_{left = \frac{1}{3m}[ (805 N)( (3-1) m) + ( 395 N )( \frac{3}{2} m) + ( 500 N )(1m ) + ( 820 N)( 0.500m ) ]

T_{left =  \frac{1}{3m}[ 1610 + 592.5 + 500 + 410 ]

T_{left =  \frac{1}{3m}[ 3112.5 ]

T_{left =  1037.5 N

T_{left =  1.038 kN

Therefore, the forces on the left hand side is 1.038 kN

On the right hand side;

T_{Right =  ( 805 N + 395 N + 500 N + 820 N ) - 1037.5 N

T_{Right =  2520 N - 1037.5 N

T_{Right =  1482.5 N

T_{Right =  1.483 kN

Therefore, the forces on the right hand side is 1.483 kN
