The pupil of the eye is the circular opening through which light enters. Its diameter can vary from about 8.00 mm to about 2.00

mm to control the intensity of the light reaching the interior. Calculate the angular resolution, ?R, of the eye for light that has a wavelength of 543 nm in both bright light and dim light.Dim light=______0 Bright light=__________0 At which light level is diffraction less of a limiting factor in the sharpness of your vision?A)BrightB) DimC) More information is needed to answerD) Diffraction is equally a factor in both intensities of light

Answer:

0.0047^{\circ}

0.018978^{\circ}

B) Dim

Explanation:

\theta = Angle

a = Pupil diameter

\lambda = Wavelength = 543 nm

Angular resolution is given by

sin\theta=1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{a}\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{a}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(1.22\times \dfrac{543\times 10^{-9}}{8\times 10^{-3}}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=0.0047^{\circ}

For the dim light the angle is 0.0047^{\circ}

sin\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{a}\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{a}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(1.22\times \dfrac{543\times 10^{-9}}{2\times 10^{-3}}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=0.018978^{\circ}

For the bright light the angle is 0.018978^{\circ}

The angular separation and sharpness are inversely related. Here, the dim light will produce a sharp image.

Hence, option B is correct

A car moves round a circular track of radius 0.3m of two revolution per/sec find its angular velocity.
Pie

Answer:

the angular velocity of the car is 12.568 rad/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular track, r = 0.3 m

number of revolutions  per second made by the car, ω = 2 rev/s

The angular velocity of the car in radian per second is calculated as;

From the given data, we convert the angular velocity in revolution per second to radian per second.

\omega = 2 \ \frac{rev}{s} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = 4\pi \ rad/s = 12.568 \ rad/s

Therefore, the angular velocity of the car is 12.568 rad/s.

which of these best explains why the hydrogen atoms in a water molecule are attracted to CI ions in sodium chloride
matrenka [14]
The oxygen has more electronegativity (3.44), making hydrogen more 'positive'. Hydrogen will be attracted to Cl since it is more 'negative'. Electronegativity(EN) of H is 2.2 whereas Cl has EN of 3.16

Cart 1 has a mass of 1 kg. Cart 2 has a mass of 2 kg. They are pushed apart by a spring. The spring exerts 2N of force into cart
almond37 [142]

The force exerted on the cart 2 during the collision is 2 N.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of cart 1 = m1 = 1 kg</em>
  • <em>Mass of cart 2 = m2 = 2kg</em>
  • <em>Force applied on cart 1 = 2 N</em>

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. The force exerted on cart 1 is equal in magnitude to the force exerted on cart 2 but in opposite direction.

F_1 = -F_2

F_2 = -F_1\\\\F_2 = -2 \ N\\\\|F_2| = 2 \ N

Thus, the force exerted on the cart 2 during the collision is 2 N.

A highway patrolman traveling at the speed limit is passed by a car going 20 mph faster than the speed limit. After one minute,
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

It will take 40 seconds to catch the speeding car

Explanation:

Initial speed of the patrolman = 55 mph

after one minute speed of patrol man = 115 mph

now acceleration of patrolman is given by

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = \frac{115 - 55}{1/60} = 3600 m/h^2

now at this acceleration the distance covered by patrolman in "t" time is given as

d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

d = 55t + 1800t^2

now we know the speed of the speeding car is given as

v' = (55+20) mph

now in the same time distance covered by it

d = 75 t

now since the distance covered is same

75 t = 55t + 1800 t^2

t = \frac{20}{1800} = \frac{1}{90} h

t = 40 seconds
