Chromatic aberration comes from the fact that different wavelengths of light travel at different speeds through the material of

the lens; that is, they have different indices of refraction, a property known as dispersion. This means that a lens, in effect, has different focal lengths for different wavelengths of light. Consider a lens made to the following specifications: focal length for red light fred=19.57cm, focal length for blue light fblue=18.87cm.
Part A

Consider an object 5.000cm tall placed a distance 30.00cm from the lens. Assuming that the object reflects both red and blue light, find the ratio yredyblueof the height of the red image to the height of the blue image.

Express your answer numerically to three significant figures.

Answer:

 y_red / y_blue = 1.11

Explanation:

Let's use the constructor equation to find the image for each wavelength

         1 /f = 1 /o + 1 /i

Where f is the focal length, or the distance to the object and i the distance to the image

Red light

           1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o

           1 / i_red = 1 / f_red - 1 / o

           1 / i_red = 1 / 19.57 - 1/30

           1 / i_red = 1,776 10-2

           i_red = 56.29 cm

Blue light

            1 / i_blue = 1 / f_blue - 1 / o

            1 / i_blue = 1 / 18.87 - 1/30

            1 / i_blue = 1,966 10-2

            i_blue = 50.863 cm

Now let's use the magnification ratio

             m = y ’/ h = - i / o

             y ’= - h i / o

Red Light

            y_red ’= - 5 56.29 / 30

            y_red ’= - 9.3816 cm

Light blue

            y_blue ’= 5 50,863 / 30

            y_blue ’= - 8.47716 cm

The ratio of the height of the two images is

            y_red ’/ y_blue’ = 9.3816 / 8.47716

            y_red / y_blue = 1,107

            y_red / y_blue = 1.11

Two charged objects are 1 meter apart. Calculate the magnitude of the electric force between them if the two charges are +1.0 μC
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

0.00899 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by the equation:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the charges

r is the distance between the two charges

And the force is:

- Repulsive if the two charges have same sign

- Attractive if the two charges have opposite sign

In this problem we have:

q_1=1.0\mu C = 1.0\cdot 10^{6}C (charge of object 1)

q_2=1.0\mu C = 1.0\cdot 10^{6}C (charge of object 2)

r = 1 m (separation between the objects)

So, the electric force is

F=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1.0\cdot 10^{-6})^2}{1^2}=0.00899 N

How does this diagram demonstrate the law of superposition?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

well, as u can tell the top layer will always be the youngest layer aka the newest layer. The farther u go down the older the layers get. So the deeper u dig the farther back in time we see.
