Answer:

This question is incomplete, here is the complete question;

"Consider the mirror shown here. An object 4 cm tall stands 10 cm in front of a converging mirror of focal length 5 cm.

The image formed by this mirror is: (Select all that apply.)

real

virtual

enlarged

the same size

diminished

Inverted

erect"

Answer: Virtual, Upright and Enlarged

Explanation:

The formula for image formed by a converging mirror is given by;

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{u} +\frac{1}{v}$ ------------------- eqn 1

where f = focal length = 5 cm

u = object height = 4 cm

v = image height = ?

substitute for u and f in eqn 1 to find v.

$\frac{1}{5} =\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{v}$

$\frac{1}{v} =\frac{1}{5} -\frac{1}{4}$

v = -20 cm

From the value of the image formed i.e -20 cm

The negative sign means the image is behind the mirror and this means image is;

1. Virtual

2. Upright

3. Enlarged

A laser emits light at power 6.20 mW and wavelength 633 nm. The laser beam is focused (narrowed) until its diameter matches the

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

a) S = 1.69 10⁹ W/m², b) P = 5.63 Pa , c) F = 20.6 10⁻¹² N

Explanation:

a) The intensity defined as the energy per unit area

S = U / A

Area of a circle is

W = 6.2 mw = 6.2 10-3 W

R = 1080 nm = 1080 10⁻⁹ m = 1.080 10⁻⁶ m

A = π R2

A = π (1,080 10⁻⁶)²

A = 3.66 10 -12 m²

S = 6.2 10-3 / 3.66 10-12

S = 1.69 10⁹ W / m²

b) The radiation pressure

P = 1 / c (dU / dt) / A

S = (dU / dt) / A

P = S / c

P = 1.69 10 9 / 3. 108

P = 5.63 Pa

c) the definition of pressure is force over area

P = F / A

F = P A

F = 5.63 3.66 10⁻¹²

F = 20.6 10⁻¹² N

d) for this we use Newton's second law

F = ma

a = F / m

Two light bulbs are wired in series and one bulb burns out (opens). Technician A says that the other bulb will work. Technician

Sedbober [7]

Answer: Neither of them is correct because the other bulb will not work

Explanation: In a series circuit, the current that flows through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the individual voltage drops across each component. This is the other way for a parallel circuit connection

In a series circuit, every device must function for the circuit to be complete. If one bulb burns out in a series circuit, the entire circuit is broken. In parallel circuits, each light bulb has its own circuit, so all but one light could be burned out, and the last one will still function.
