Answer:

True

Explanation:

Going even smaller than atoms would get you to subatomic particles such as quarks. From there, it is impossible to distinguish elements. So, yes, atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retains the original characteristic of the element.

How many lenses with different focal lengths can be obtained by combining two surfaces whose radii of curvature are 4.00 cm and

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The lenses with different focal length are four.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of curvature R₁= 4

Radius of curvature R₂ = 8

We know ,

Refractive index of glass = 1.6

When, R₁= 4, R₂ = 8

We need to calculate the focal length of the lens

Using formula of focal length

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{2}})$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{9}{40}$

$f=4.44\ cm$

When , R₁= -4, R₂ = 8

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{-4}+\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{3}{40}$

$f=-13.33\ cm$

When , R₁= 4, R₂ = -8

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{3}{40}$

$f=13.33\ cm$

When , R₁= -4, R₂ = -8

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{-4}-\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{9}{40}$

$f=-4.44\ cm$

Hence, The lenses with different focal length are four.
