<span>A very simple example is the light bulb question. If the light bulb in your room goes out, scientific reasoning will first attribute it to a short circuit. Then, after setting up the hypothesis, we go and check if changing the fuse solves the problem. if not, the hypothesis is rejected and we change the hypothesis and do another experiment.</span>

The closest distance a book can be read from a pair of reading eyeglasses (Power = 1.55 dp) is 26.0 cm. What is the near distanc

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The image distance is 20.0 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power = 1.55 dp

Distance between book to eye = 26.0+3.00=29.0 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of focal length

$f = \dfrac{1}{P}$

Put the value into the formula

$f=\dfrac{1}{1.55}$

$f=0.645\ m$

$f=64.5\ cm$

We need to calculate the image distance

Using lens formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{-u}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{64.5}-\dfrac{1}{-29}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{187}{3741}$

$v=20.0\ cm$

Hence, The image distance is 20.0 cm.

Given the wave function: Y(x,t) = 5sin27(0.2x - 3t); (x = meters, t = sec.): What are the amplitude, frequency, wavelength, angu

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Explanation:

Y = 5 Sin27( .2x-3t)

= 5 Sin(5.4x - 81 t )

Amplitude = 5 m

Angular frequency ω = 81

frequency = ω / 2π

= 81 / (2 x 3.14 )

=12.89

Wave length λ = 2π / k ,

k = 5.4

λ = 2π / 5.4

= 1.163 m

Phase velocity =ω / k

= 81 / 5.4

15 m / s.

The wave is travelling in + ve x - direction.

Two identical loudspeakers, speaker 1 and speaker 2, are 2.0 m apart and are emitting 1700-hz sound waves into a room where the

Debora [2.8K]

Given the following in the problem:

Distances : 2.0 m and 4.0 m
Sound waves : 1700 hz
Speed of sound : 340 m/s

Get the wavelength of the sound by using the formula:
Lambda = speed of sound/sound waves
Lambda = 340 m/s / 1700 hz
Lambda = 0.2
Get the path length difference to the point from the two speakers
L1 = 4mL2 = sqrt (42+ 22) m
Delta = 4.47

x = delta / lambda

If the outcome is nearly an integer, the waves strengthen at the point. If it is nearly an integer +0.5 the waves interfere destructively at the point. If it is neither the point is somewhat in in the middle.

Solving x = (4.47 – 4) / (0.2) = 2.35 an integer +0.5 so it’s a point of destructive interference.
