Answer: When parallel light rays strike a concave lens, they will diverge that is  they spread out.

Concave lens is also known as diverging lens, which means that when parallel rays of light strike on it, the lens spreads out the light rays ( that is it diverges the rays of light) that are refracted through it.

It is thinner at center as compared to edges and used to correct myopia ( a defect of vision that is also termed short-sightedness).

Therefore, when parallel light rays strike a concave lens, they will diverge that is  they spread out.

Airida [17]
The maximum height that is reached by an object thrown or jumped at a certain initial velocity can be calculated through the equation,

   2ad = Vf² - Vi²

Vf is zero (0) in this equation because this is the point at the velocity at the maximum height of the object.

Substituting the known values,
  2(a)(-16) = 0 - (3.6)²

The value of a from the equation is 0.405 m/s².

<em>Answer: 0.405 m/s²</em>

The first ionization energy of a hydrogen atom is 2.18 aj (attojoules). what is the frequency and wavelength, in nanometers, of
jasenka [17]

1) Frequency: 3.29\cdot 10^{15}Hz

the energy of the photon absorbed must be equal to the ionization enegy of the atom, which is

E=2.18 aJ=2.18\cdot 10^{-18} J

The energy of a photon is given by

E=hf

where h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js is the Planck's constant. By using the energy written above and by re-arranging thsi formula, we can calculate the frequency of the photon:

f=\frac{E}{h}=\frac{2.18\cdot 10^{-18} J}{6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js}=3.29\cdot 10^{15} Hz


2) Wavelength: 91.2 nm

The wavelength of the photon can be found from its frequency, by using the following relationship:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}

where c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light and f is the frequency. Substituting the frequency, we find

\lambda=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{3.29\cdot 10^{15}Hz}=9.12\cdot 10^{-8} m=91.2 nm
