A convex lens has a focal length of 16.5 cm. Where on the lens axis should an object be placed in order to get a virtual, enlarg

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Object should be placed at a distance, u = 7.8 cm

Given:

focal length of convex lens, F = 16.5 cm

magnification, m = 1.90

Solution:

Magnification of lens, m = - $\frac{v}{u}$

where

u = object distance

v = image distance

Now,

1.90 = $\frac{v}{u}$

v = - 1.90u

To calculate the object distance, u by lens maker formula given by:

$\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{u}+ \frac{1}{v}$

$\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{1}{u}+ \frac{1}{- 1.90u}$

$\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{1.90 - 1}{1.90u}$

$\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{ 0.90}{1.90u}$

u = 7.8 cm

Object should be placed at a distance of 7.8 cm on the axis of the lens to get virtual and enlarged image.

What color of light can plants "see"?

mars1129 [50]

As you know, plants are usually green, which means that most other colors are absorbed. One of the most common pigments is called chlorophyll, and one of the varieties is responsible for the green color of plants; it strongly absorbs blue and redlight, which leaves only the green light to make it to our eyes.

Bullets spin when shot from a rifle or handgun. What causes this spinning?

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder. Gas converted from the burning powder rapidly expands in the cartridge. The expanding gas forces the bullet out of the cartridge and down the barrel with great speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin as it travels out of the barrel.
