Out of that list, the concave mirror is the only item that can concentrate sunlight and heat into a small area. But if you could get ahold of a convex lens, that would be even better.

Answer: Concave mirror would be best to use.

Explanation :

To focus sunlight to ignite a pile of twigs for a campfire, a concave mirror should be used.

When the rays of light coming from infinity parallel to principal axis in front of a concave mirror, all the rays get concentrated at the focus of the mirror. That's why the concave mirror is also known as converging.

In this case, a concave mirror should be used so as to converge all the rays at a point.

So, the correct option is (b).

3. Suppose that you have an electrically charged stick. If you divide the stick in half, each half will have half the original c
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge forever.

Explanation:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge in that manner forever because the total charge of the stick is an integer multiples of individual units known as an elementary charge, <em>which is the electron (e) charge (e = 1.602x10⁻¹⁹C)</em>.

Therefore the limit of the division of the original charge will be the electron charge since it is the smallest charge that can exist freely.  

I hope it helps you!
