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.Part AIs this lens converging or diverging?Part BWhat is the focal length f of this lens in air (index of refraction for air is nair=1)?Express your answer in centimeters to two significant figures or as a fraction.

Answer:

12 cm

Explanation:

We shall use Lens makers formula here which is as follows

\frac{1}{F} =(\mu-1) (\frac{1}{R_1} -\frac{1}{R_2})

Put μ = 1.5 , R₁ = 10 cm ,R₂ = -  15 cm ( according to sign convention )

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

= .5 x ( 15 + 10 ) / 15 x 10

= \frac{25}{2\times10\times15}

F = 12 cm

Answer:

c>d>f=a>b>e

Explanation:

When a pair of medial has greater difference between the their individual refractive indices with respect to vacuum then it has a greater deviation between the refracted ray and the incident ray.

According to the Snell's law:

\rm refractive\ index\ (n)=\frac{speed\ of\ light\ in\ the\ incident\ medium}{speed\ of\ light\ in\ the\ refracted\ medium}

a)

n_1-n_2=1.33-1.00\\=0.33

b)

n_2-n_1=1.46-1.33

=0.23

c)

n_2-n_1=2.42-1.33\\=1.09

d)

n_2-n_1=1.46-1.00\\=0.46

e)

n_1-n_2=1.50-1.33\\=0.17

f)

n_2-n_1=1.33-1.00\\=0.33

c>d>f=a>b>e

Plants use sunlight as energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Which best describes the reaction? Th
Alina [70]

Answer:

the correct statement is the first

The law of conservation of mass indicates the same amount of carbon will be found in the reactants as in the products.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy establishes that the masses are not destroyed, they can only be transformed.

Therefore the mass of carbon in the reactants (CO2 and H2O) must be in the products (glucose and oxygen)

so the correct statement is the first

The law of conservation of mass indicates the same amount of carbon will be found in the reactants as in the products.

The environment affects people, but people don't affect the environment.<br><br><br>TRUE OR FALSE
Drupady [299]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The statement that the environment affects people, but people don't affect the environment is incorrect. It should be noted that people also affect the environment.

Some of our impact on the environment include pollution, deforestation, overpopulation, burning of fossil fuels etc. Thus has resulted in changes such as erosion, climate change, etc.

A crate slides down a ramp that makes a 20∘ angle with the ground. To keep the crate moving at a steady speed, Paige pushes back
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Hence, work done= 287.54 J

Explanation:

Given data:

angle of ramp with the ground θ =20°

force applied = 76 N

work done on the crate to slide down 4 m down the ramp

W= F×d cosθ ( only the cos component of the force will slide the crate down)

W= 76×4×cos20= 287.54 J
