Explain how mirrors can produce images that are larger or smaller than life size, as well as upright or inverted

Physics

Answer:

1) When d_{o} < d_{i} (hence  d_{o} < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

2) When d_{o} > d_{i} (and d_{o} < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

3) When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror

Explanation:

The position of an object in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature, R, determines the size and orientation of the image of the object as illustrated in the mirror equation

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{d_{o}} + \dfrac{1}{d_{i}}

Magnification, \, m = \dfrac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} = -\dfrac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}

Where:

f = Focal length of the mirror = R/2

d_{i} = Image distance from the mirror

d_{o} = Object distance from the mirror

h_{i} = Image height

h_{o} = Object height

d_{o} is positive for an object placed in front of the mirror and negative for an object placed behind the mirror

d_{i} is positive for an image formed in front of the mirror and negative for an image formed behind the mirror

m is positive when the orientation of the image and the object is the same

m is negative when the orientation of the image and the object is inverted

f and R are positive in the situation where the center of curvature is located in front of the mirror (concave mirrors) and f and R are negative in the situation where the center of curvature is located behind the mirror (convex mirrors)

∴ When d_{o} < d_{i} (hence  d_{o} < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

When d_{o} > d_{i} (and d_{o} < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror.

The smallest separation resolvable by a microscope is of the order of magnitude of the wavelength used. What energy electrons wo
hjlf

Answer: a) for 150 Angstroms 6.63 *10^-3 eV; b) for 5 Angstroms 6.02 eV

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to use the relationship given by De Broglie as:

λ =p/h where p is the momentum and h the Planck constant

if we consider the energy given by acceleration tube for the electrons given by: E: e ΔV so is equal to kinetic energy of electrons p^2/2m

Finally we have:

eΔV=p^2/2m= h^2/(2*m*λ^2)

replacing we obtained the above values.

Astronomers believe that cosmic background radiation formed:

The assumption that the cosmic microwave background
is the remnant of the environment at the time of the big bang
or very shortly after it explains very well what we observe now. 
So it is the current prevailing theory. "Believe" is not involved.

Una pelota de béisbol sale despedida de un bate con una velocidad horizontal de 20 m/s. En un tiempo de 0.25 s, ¿a qué distancia
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Translation:

A baseball is thrown from a bat with a horizontal speed of 20 m / s. In a time of 0.25 s, how far will you have traveled horizontally and how much will you have fallen vertically?

Explanation:

This question deals directly with projectile motions and we can use modifications of equation of motion since it's a horizontal motion.

(a). How far will it have travelled;

X = Vo * t

X = 20 * 2.5 = 50m

(b). How much will it have fallen vertically?

y = Voy + ½gt²

But Voy = 0

y = ½ * 9.8 * 2.5²

y = 30.625m
