Answer:

Magnification, m = 3

Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the lens, f = 15 cm

Object distance, u = -10 cm

Lens formula :

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

v is image distance

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{(-10)}\\\\v=-30\ cm$

Magnification,

$m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{-30}{10}\\\\m=3$

So, the magnification of the lens is 3.

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air

Nata [24]

The frequency of a sound is whatever frequency leaves the source. It doesn't change.

Voiced of swimmers at the pool don't change frequency in or out of the water. Only their speed and wavelength change.

Compare and contrast the strength of the forces between two objects with a mass of 1 kg each, a charge of 10

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Let's see the similarities between the two forces

* are proportional to the product of a magnitude, mass or charge

* They are inversely proportional to the square of the distance

* They are long-range forces since zero is not made up to an infinite distance. The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

The differences in them

* The electric force in much greater than the gravitational force

* The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating each force.

Gravitational force

F = $G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

let's calculate

F = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 1 1 / 1²

F = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ N

Electric force

F = $k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

indicates that the charge is q = 10 C

F = 9 10⁹ 10 10 / 1²

F = 9 10¹¹ N

Let's see the similarities between the two forces

* are proportional to the product of a magnitude, mass or charge

A single slit, which is 0.050 mm wide, is illuminated by light of 550 nm wavelength. What is the angular separation between the

likoan [24]

Answer:

The separation between the first two minima on either side is 0.63 degrees.

Explanation:

A diffraction experiment consists on passing monochromatic light trough a small single slit, at some distance a light diffraction pattern is projected on a screen. The diffraction pattern consists on intercalated dark and bright fringes that are symmetric respect the center of the screen, the angular positions of the dark fringes θn can be find using the equation:

$a\sin \theta_n=n\lambda$

with a the width of the slit, n the number of the minimum and λ the wavelength of the incident light. We should find the position of the n=1 and n=2 minima above the central maximum because symmetry the angular positions of n=-1 and n=-2 that are the angular position of the minima below the central maximum, then:

for the first minimum

$a\sin \theta_1=(1)\lambda$
