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.

Sandy is on a road trip. She leaves at 8:00 AM. It takes her 2 hours to drive 200 kilometers. She stops at a rest stop for half
lutik1710 [3]
The average velocity of Sandy is given by the total distance covered S divided by the total time taken t:
v= \frac{S}{t}

The total distance covered is
S=200 km+0+100 km=300 km
while the total time taken is 2 hours + half an hour (for the rest) + 1 hour and half, so
t=2h+0.5h+1.5 h=4 h
Therefore, the average velocity is 
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{300 km}{4 h}=75 km/h

What causes the bright lines seen in the emission spectrum?
Snezhnost [94]
Base in your questions that ask what cause the bright lines seen in the emission spectrum and i think the best answer to that is the H2 gas is used when protons was heated so the electron absorb all the photons and get exited and resulted by given of a light.

Radiation emitted from human skin reaches its peak at λ = 960 µm. what is the frequency of this radiation? planck's constant is
Artist 52 [7]
1) The wavelength of the radiation emitted by the human skin is
\lambda=960 \mu m = 960 \cdot 10^{-6} m
the frequency of the radiation is related to the wavelength by
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}
where c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light. Plugging numbers into the formula, we find the frequency of the radiation:
f= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{960 \cdot 10^{-6}m}=3.13 \cdot 10^{11} Hz

2) The frequency of this radiation is 313 GHz, and its wavelength 960 \mu m. If we look at the table of the electromagnetic spectrum
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum
We see that we are in the range of visible light (in particular, in the infrared range).
Therefore, the correct answer is <span>2. visible light .</span>
