When all else remains the same, what effect would decreasing the focal length have on a convex lens?

Physics

murzikaleks [220]3 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is "it would make the lens stronger".

Explanation:

The power of the lens is defined as the reciprocal of the focal length. If the focal length of the smaller then the power of the lens will more and vice versa.

The power of the lens is measured in Diopter.

More the power of the lens, the stronger the lens would be. The power of the lens has an ability to bend the light. Greater the power of the lens, more the refraction of the light will be.

If the focal length of the convex lens is decreased then the convex lens would make the lens stronger.

Therefore, the correct option is "it would make the lens stronger".

<h3>Answer;</h3>

<u>It would make the lens stronger. </u>

<h3>Explanation;</h3>
  • The focal length is the distance between the optical center or the center of the lens to the focal point of a convex or concave lens.
  • The power of the convex lens is lens ability to undertake refraction or bend light. It is given as the reciprocal of focal length.
  • Power of the lens = 1/ f; therefore the smaller the focal length the higher the power and the larger the focal length the lower the power.
  • Thus; decreasing the focal length of a convex lens makes the lens stronger.

Answer:

A. nuclear fusion reactions

C. it's still hot from the big bang

Explanation:

The inside of the earth is hot due to some reasons. This heat provides the internal energy the drives processes within the earth interior. Here are some of the ways in which the heat has accumulated:

  • Nuclear reactions within the earth interior by fusion and other radioactive processes releases a large amount of heat.
  • Some heat accreted during the early formation of the earth and has not been lost till this day.
  • Heating due to friction

These are some of the sources of the earth's internal heat.

Many planets in our solar system (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have rings. If these rings are made of chunks of debris, why do they
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Generally, rings form from moons, asteroids, or comets that have disintegrated due to a collision or because they got too close to their planet (Roche Limit). ... Most of the debris, however, will not have enough energy to overcome the planet's gravity and will remain in orbit around the planet.

Remember to include your data, equation, and work when solving this problem.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

F = 0.00156[N]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's proposed universal gravitation law.

F=G*\frac{m_{1} *m_{2} }{r^{2} } \\

Where:

F = gravitational force between the moon and Ellen; units [Newtos] or [N]

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1= Ellen's mass [kg]

m2= Moon's mass [kg]

r = distance from the moon to the earth [meters] or [m].

Data:

G = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1 = 47 [kg]

m2 = 7.35 * 10^22 [kg]

r = 3.84 * 10^8 [m]

F=6.67*10^{-11} * \frac{47*7.35*10^{22} }{(3.84*10^8)^{2} }\\ F= 0.00156 [N]

This force is very small compare with the force exerted by the earth to Ellen's body. That is the reason that her body does not float away.

What are the wavelength ranges for the following? (a) the AM radio band (540–1600 kHz) maximum wavelength m minimum wavelength m
Pie

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) AM radio band (540–1600 kHz)

frequency = 540 kHz = 540 x 10³ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 540 x 10³

= 555.55 m

frequency = 1600 kHz = 1600 x 10³ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 1600 x 10³

= 187.5  m

maximum wavelength  =   555.55 m

minimum wavelength =  187.5 m

b )

AM radio band (88 - 108 MHz)

frequency = 88 MHz = 88 x 10⁶ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 88 x 10⁶

= 3.41 m

frequency = 108 MHz = 108 x 10⁶ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 108 x 10⁶

= 2.78  m

maximum wavelength  =   3.41 m

minimum wavelength =  2.78 m

Consider the two moving boxcars in Example 5. Car 1 has a mass of m1 = 65000 kg and a velocity of v01 = +0.80 m/s. Car 2 has a m
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

1.034m/s

Explanation:

We define the two moments to develop the problem. The first before the collision will be determined by the center of velocity mass, while the second by the momentum preservation. Our values are given by,

m_1 = 65000kg\\v_1 = 0.8m/s\\m_2 = 92000kg\\v_2 = 1.2m/s

<em>Part A)</em> We apply the center of mass for velocity in this case, the equation is given by,

V_{cm} = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

Substituting,

V_{cm} = \frac{(65000*0.8)+(92000*1.2)}{92000+65000}

V_{cm} = 1.034m/s

Part B)

For the Part B we need to apply conserving momentum equation, this formula is given by,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Where here v_f is the velocity after the collision.

v_f = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

v_f = \frac{(65000*0.8)+(92000*1.2)}{92000+65000}

v_f = 1.034m/s
