Convex lenses are thicker at the centers than the edges, they are known as the converging lenses. Rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). When rays of light that are parallel pass through a convex lens they are refracted, the refracted rays converge at one point called the principal focus.

tangare [24]

Answer:

<u>77.8 m/s, downward</u>

Explanation:

For uniform acceleration motion, the average speed is equal to half the soum of the initial velocity, Vi, and the final velocity, Vf

Average speed = (Vf + Vi)/2

Also, by definition, the average speed is the distance divided by the time:

Average speed = distance / time

Then:

(Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

Other kinematic equation for uniform acceleration is:

Vf = Vi + a×t

Since the window is falling and the air resistance is ignored, a = g (gravitational acceleration ≈ 9.8m/s²)

Replacing the known values we can set a system of two equations:

From (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

(Vf + Vi) = 2 × 300m/6.62s

Vf + Vi = 90.634 equation 1

From Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf - Vi = 9.8 (6.62)

Vf - Vi = 64.876 equation 2

Adding the two equations:

2Vf = 155.510

Vf = 77.8 m/s downward (velocities must be reported with their directions)

Suppose you illuminate two thin slits by monochromatic coherent light in air and find that they produce their first interference

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

1.7323

Explanation:

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to refractive indices and Snell's law.

From the data given we have to:

$n_{air}=1$

$\theta_{liquid} = 19.38\°$

$\theta_{air}35.09\°$

Where n means the index of refraction.

We need to calculate the index of refraction of the liquid, then applying Snell's law we have:

$n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2$

$n_{air}sin\theta_{air} = n_{liquid}sin\theta_{liquid}$

$n_{liquid} = \frac{n_{air}sin\theta_{air}}{sin\theta_{liquid}}$

Replacing the values we have:

$n_{liquid}=\frac{(1)sin(35.09)}{sin(19.38)}$

$n_liquid = 1.7323$

Therefore the refractive index for the liquid is 1.7323
