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).

El dormitorio de Pablo es rectangular, y sus lados miden 3 y 4 metros. Ha decidido dividirlo en dos partes triangulares con una
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

 c = 5 m

Explanation:

this exercise you want to divide the rectangular room into two triangular rooms

                 

the area of ​​triangles is

           A = ½ base height

           A = ½ 4 3

          A = 6 m²

the length of the curtain can be found using the Pythagorean theorem

           c² = b² + a²

           c = √ (4² + 3²)

           c = 5 m

this is the length of the curtain

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.2 cm. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

In this problem, we have a microwave photon with wavelength

\lambda=12.2 cm=0.122 m

Substituting into the equation, we find its energy:

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{0.122 m}=1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J

Which best describes a difference between laser light and regular light?
Inga [223]
The basic difference is that the ordinary sources are incoherent that means that the discrete frequencies merge up to give an intermediate between the maximum and minimum frequencies. While the laser is coherent containing the single frequency with maximum amplitude. thus travelling far.

What is Speed? the ability to rest the ability to rest the ability to minimize the time cycle of a given movement the ability to
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time.

Explanation:

The formula for speed is speed = distance ÷ time. To work out what the units are for speed, you need to know the units for distance and time.
