The objective lens of a certain refracting telescope has a diameter of 63.5 cm. The telescope is mounted in a satellite that orb
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

0.255 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter=d=63.5 cm=63.5\times 10^{-2} m

1 cm=10^{-2} m

L=265 km =265\times 1000=265000 m

Wavelength,\lambda=500nm=500\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

We have to find the minimum distance between two objects on the ground if their images are to be resolved by this lens.

sin\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}

sin\theta=\frac{1.22\times 500\times 10^{-9}}{63.5\times 10^{-2}}

sin\theta=\approx \theta=9.606\times 10^{-7} rad

\frac{y}{L}=tan\theta\approx \theta

y=L\theta=265000\times 9.606\times 10^{-7}=0.255 m

Examine the scenario.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.

Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:

distance: 40 km

speed: 40 km/h

Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.

Then, the following option:

velocity: 5 km/h north

is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.

So, the correct choice is

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 40 km/h is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 5 s is the time

Substituting,

a=\frac{40 km/h-0}{5 s}=8 km/h/s

And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).

A light-emitting diode (LED) connected to a 3.0 V power supply emits 440 nm blue light. The current in the LED is 11 mA , and th
zimovet [89]

Answer:

3.73 * 10^16   photons/sec

Explanation:

power supply = 3.0 V

Emits 440 nm blue light

current in LED = 11 mA

efficiency of LED = 51%

<u>Calculate the number of photons per second the LED will emit </u>

first step : calculate the energy of the Photon

E = hc / λ

   =(  6.62 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8 )  / 440 * 10^-9

   = 0.0451 * 10^-17  J

Next :

Number of Photon =( power supply * efficiency * current ) / energy of photon

= ( 3 * 0.51 * 11 * 10^-3 ) / 0.0451 * 10^-17

= 3.73 * 10^16 photons/sec
