Answer:

Focal length is the distance of center of the lens from its FOCAL POINT

Explanation:

As we know that when straight beam of light incident on the lens which is parallel to the principle axis of the lens then this light will get refracted by the lens

After the refraction from the lens the light will pass through the a point on the principle axis. That common point is known as FOCAL POINT.

As as per lens formula we know that

$\frac{1}{d_i}{ + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}$

now we have

$d_o = infinite$

so here we have

$d_i = f$

so focal point will be the point where image formed when straight parallel beam of light passes through it.

The answer is focal point.
The focal length is the distance from the lens (or mirror) to the focal point. The focal point is <span>the point at which rays of light converge.</span>

In a bi-prism experiment the eye-piece was placed at a distance 1.5m from the source. The distance between the virtual sources w

Answer:

λ = 1.4 × 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

We are given;

distance of eye piece from the source;D = 1.5 m

distance between the virtual sources;d = 7.5 × 10^(-4) m

To find the wavelength, we will use the formula for fringe width;

X = λD/d

Where X is fringe width, λ is wavelength, while d and D remain as before.

Now, fringe width = eye-piece distance moved transversely/number of fringes

Eye piece distance moved transversely = 1.88 cm = 1.88 × 10^(-2) m

Thus,

Fringe width = (1.88 × 10^(-2))/10 = 1.88 × 10^(-3) m

Thus;

1.88 × 10^(-3) = λ(1.5)/(7.5 × 10^(-4))

λ = [1.88 × 10^(-3) × (7.5 × 10^(-4))]/1.5

λ = 1.4 × 10^(-7) m

The change in momentum of an object is equal to the ____________ that acts on it.

meriva

Answer : The change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that acts on it.

Explanation :

Change in momentum : The change in momentum of an object is the product of the mass and the change in velocity of an object.

The formula of change in momentum is,

$\Delta p=m\times \Delta v$

Impulse : An impulse of an object is the product of the force applied on an object and the change in time. Impulse is also equivalent to the change in momentum of an object.

$J=F\times \Delta t$
