Answer;
= 4 m is the length of the man's shadow.
Explanation;
2/x=6/(8+x) cross multiply.
6x=2(8+x)
6x=16+2x
6x-2x=16
4x=16
x=2=16/4
x=4 m. is the length of the man's shadow.
Seismograph is the correct answer
Answer: a. 53cm b. Diverging c. 0.02dioptres
Explanation:
Since the person in question cannot see far object clearly, it shows that the individual is suffering from myopia (short sightedness).
If the object distance (u) is 53cm. for the person to be able to see far way, it means the image must be at infinity. This shows image distance v is infinity. Using the lens formula
1/f = 1/u+1/v
1/f = 1/53 + 1/Infinity
1/f = 1/53 + 0
f=53cm
b) The lens used is concave lens (diverging lens) to diverge all rays outwards
c) Power of a lens P will be 1/53.
P = 0.02dioptres
