You place an object 20 cm from a lens and find an image on the opposite side 30 cm from the lens. You calculate a focal length o

f 12 cm. You then move the object 30 cm from the same lens and once again measure the image distance. All your measurements and calculations are correct. What should you find when you calculate this focal length? a) It increased. b) It decreased. c) It stayed the same. d) There is not enough information to determine this focal length.

Answer:

The correct option is 'c': It stays same.

Explanation:

The focal length of any lens is obtained by using lens maker's formula as follows

\frac{1}{f}=(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{2}}-1)(\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}})

where

n_{2} is the refractive index of the material of lens

n_{1} is the refractive index of the medium surrounding the lens

R_{1},R_{2} are the radii of the 2 surfaces of the lens.

As we see that in the formula the focal length of the lens only depends on the refractive indexes and the radius of the lens thus we conclude that the focal length of the lens is independent on the position of object or image.

An aurora occurs when ____
ASHA 777 [7]

The short answer to how the aurora happens is that energetic electrically charged particles (mostly electrons) accelerate along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off light.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Since both hv same mass and elsstic collision, so their velocity will exchange. Bob A will stop and bob B will move with speed of A just before the collision.

Speed will be = squreroot ( 2*g*L)

Se dispone de dos vasos con agua a 20 grados y queremos calentarlo hasta alcanzar 50 grados. Si el primero contiene 0,5l y el se
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The cup with 0.5L

Explanation:

To know what amount of water you take into account the specific heat of the water. The specific heat of water is:

c_{water}=4186\frac{J}{kg\°C}

Thus, 4186 J of energy are needed to icrease the temperature of 1 kg water in 1°C. Then, more grams of water will need more energy.

You have that one cup has 0.5 L and the other one has 750mL = 0.75L

The second cup of water will need more heat because the amount of water contained in the second cup is greater than in the first cup with 0.5L
