A lens focuses light at a single point called the focal point. What is responsible for the light rays coming together at the foc

al point?

The answer is; refraction.

When waves, including light, pass through two media with different densities, the waves bend at the transition between the two media due to differences in speed and wavelength. Convex lenses bend (refract) light and  concentrate it at one point called the focal point.

Is there any change in mass of substance after it changes its state? Explain with an example​
Flura [38]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

When a substance changes its state , there will not be any change in the mass of substance . For example , if we change 100 grams of water (liquid) to ice(solid) , the mass of ice will be same i.e., 100 grams . This shows there is no change in the mass even if a substance changes its state.

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 0.281 m/s2 to the South for a time of 5.44 seconds. It then increases
andre [41]

Answer:

12.0 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 0.281 m/s²

t₁ = 5.44 s

a₂ = 1.43 m/s²

t₂ = 2.42 s

Find: x

First, find the velocity reached at the end of the first acceleration.

v = at + v₀

v = (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s) + 0 m/s

v = 1.53 m/s

Next, find the position reached at the end of the first acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 0 m + (0 m/s) (5.44 s) + ½ (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s)²

x = 4.16 m

Finally, find the position reached at the end of the second acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 4.16 m + (1.53 m/s) (2.42 s) + ½ (1.43 m/s²) (2.42 s)²

x = 12.0 m

Water evaporating from a pond does so as if it were diffusing across an air film 0.15 cm thick. The diffusion coefficient of wat
QveST [7]

Answer:

The water level will drop by about 1.24 cm in 1 day.

Explanation:

Here Mass flux of water vapour is given as

                               j_{H_2O}=\frac{D}{l} \bigtriangleup c

where

  • j_{H_2O} is the mass flux of the water which is to be calculated.
  • D is diffusion coefficient which is given as 0.25 cm^2/s
  • l is the thickness of the film which is 0.15 cm thick.
  • \bigtriangleup c is given as

                                \bigtriangleup c= \frac{P_{sat}-P_a}{RT}

In this

  • P_{sat} is the saturated water pressure, which is look up from the saturated water property at 20°C and 0.5 saturation given as 2.34 Pa
  • P_a is the air pressure which is given as 0.5 times of P_{sat}
  • R is the universal gas constant as 8.314 kJ/kmol-K
  • T is the temperature in Kelvin scale which is 20+273= 293K

By substituting values in the equation

                                    \bigtriangleup c= \frac{P_{sat}-P_a}{RT} \\ \bigtriangleup c= \frac{P_{sat}-0.5P_{sat}}{RT} \\ \bigtriangleup c= \frac{0.5P_{sat}}{RT} \\ \bigtriangleup c= \frac{0.5 \times 2.34}{8.314 \times 293} \\\bigtriangleup c= 0.48 mol/m^3

Converting \bigtriangleup c into cm^3/cm^3

As 1 mole of water 18 cm^3 so

                               \bigtriangleup c= 0.48 mol/m^3 \\ \bigtriangleup c= 0.48 \times 18 \times 10^{-6}  cm^3/cm^3 \\ \bigtriangleup c= 8.64 \times 10^{-6}  cm^3/cm^3

Putting this in the equation of mass flux equation gives

                            j_{H_2O}=\frac{D}{l} \bigtriangleup c \\ j_{H_2O}=\frac{0.25}{0.15} \times 8.64 \times 10^{-6} \\ j_{H_2O}=14.4 \times 10^{-6}  cm/s

For calculation of water level drop in a day, converting mass flux as

                     j_{H_2O}=14.4 \times 10^{-6}  \times 24 \times 3600  cm/day\\ j_{H_2O}=1.24  cm/day

So the water level will drop by about 1.24 cm in 1 day.
