A thin double convex glass lens with an index of 1.56 while surrounded by air has a 10 cm focal length. If it is placed under wa
bearhunter [10]

Explanation:

Formula which holds true for a leans with radii R_{1} and R_{2} and index refraction n is given as follows.

          \frac{1}{f} = (n - 1) [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]

Since, the lens is immersed in liquid with index of refraction n_{1}. Therefore, focal length obeys the following.  

            \frac{1}{f_{1}} = \frac{n - n_{1}}{n_{1}} [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]  

             \frac{1}{f(n - 1)} = [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]

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

or,          f_{1} = \frac{fn_{1}(n - 1)}{(n - n_{1})}

              f_{w} = \frac{10 \times 1.33 \times (1.56 - 1)}{(1.56 - 1.33)}

                          = 32.4 cm

Using thin lens equation, we will find the focal length as follows.

             \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{s_{o}} + \frac{1}{s_{i}}

Hence, image distance can be calculated as follows.

       \frac{1}{s_{i}} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s_{o}} = \frac{s_{o} - f}{fs_{o}}

              s_{i} = \frac{fs_{o}}{s_{o} - f}

             s_{i} = \frac{32.4 \times 100}{100 - 32.4}

                       = 47.9 cm

Therefore, we can conclude that the focal length of the lens in water is 47.9 cm.

In the year 1178. five monks at Canterbury Cathedral in England observed what appeared to be an asteroid colliding with the moon
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: 1.28 sec

Explanation:

Assuming that the glow following the collision was produced instantaneously, as the light propagates in a straight line from Moon to the Earth at a constant speed, we can get the time traveled by the light applying velocity definition as follows:

V = ∆x / ∆t

Solving for ∆t, we have:

∆t = ∆x/v = ∆x/c = 3.84 108 m / 3.8 108 m/s = 1.28 sec
