What is the magnification of an astronomical telescope whose objective lens has a focal length of 71 cm and whose eyepiece has a

focal length of 2.1 cm?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to optical magnification (is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something.). Specifically the angular magnification of an optical telescope is given by

M = -\frac{f_o}{f_e}

Where,

f_o = Focal length of the objective lens in a refractor

f_e = Focal length of the eyepiece

Our values are given as

f_o = 71cm

f_e =  2.1cm

Replacing we have

M = -\frac{f_o}{f_e}

M = -\frac{71}{2.1}

M = - 33.81

Therefore the magnification of this astronomical telescope is -33.81

In your experiment, you measure a total deflection of 4.12 cm when an electric field of 1.10×103V/m is established between the p
Bond [772]

Answer:

B_0 = 1.69 \times 10^{-4}\ T

Explanation:

given,

total deflection = 4.12 cm

Electric field = 1.1 ×10³ V/m

plate length = 6 cm

distance between them = 12 cm

using formula

v_0 = \sqrt{\dfrac{q\epsilon_0d}{ym}(\dfrac{d}{2}+L)}

q = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

d = 0.06 m

L = 0.12 m

v_0 = \sqrt{\dfrac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}\times 1.1 \times 10^{3}\times 0.06}{0.0412\times 9.11 \times 10^{-31} }(\dfrac{0.06}{2}+0.12)}

v_0 = 6496355.63 m/s

v_0 = \dfrac{E}{B_0}

B_0 = \dfrac{E}{v_0}

B_0 = \dfrac{1.1\times 10^{3}}{6496355.63}

B_0 = 1.69 \times 10^{-4}\ T

A mass on a spring vibrates in simple harmonic motion at an amplitude of 8.0 cm. If the mass of the object is 0.20 kg and the sp
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Frequency, f = 3.73Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a simple harmonic 6is given by:

f = w/2pi

But w= Sqrt( k/m)

Where k is the spring constant

And m is the mass

Given:

Mass=0.20kg

Spring constant, k=130N/m

w= Sqrt(130/0.20)

w= Sqrt(650)

w= 25.50 m

Frequency, f = w/2pi

f = 25.50/(2×3.142)

f = 3.73Hz
