What are the similarities & differences between a thermistor and a light dependent resistor in physics?

Physics

An LDR's resistance changes with light intensity, while a thermistor's resistancce changes with temperature.

In dark, LDR's resistance is large and in the day/light LDR's resistance is small.

At low temperature, thermistor's resistance is large, while at large temperature it resistance is small.

In an LDR Resistance increases as light intensity falls, while in a thermistor resistance falls as temperature falls.

1. A concave mirror has a focal length of 1.50 meters. What is the radius of curvature of the mirror? An object is placed 4.00 m
matrenka [14]

1) 3.0 m

2) 2.40 m

Explanation:

1)

A concave mirror is a reflecting surface that causes the reflection of the rays of light coming to the mirror, producing an image of the object facing the mirror.

There are two types of mirror:

- Concave mirror: this is curved inward - as a result, the rays of light coming from the object are reflected back into a single point, called focal point

- Convex mirror: this is curved outward - as a result, the rays of light coming from the object are reflected back into diverging direction, not into a single point

For a curved mirror, the radius of curvature is twice the focal length:

R=2f

Where

R is the radius of curvature

f is the focal length

In this problem,

f = 1.50 m

So, the radius of curvature is

R=2(1.50)=3.0 m

2)

The distance of the image from the mirror can be found by using the mirror equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the mirror

q is the distance of the image from the mirror

IN this problem we have:

f = 1.50 m is the focal length

p = 4.00 m is the distance of the object from the mirror

Solving for q, we  find:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{1.50}-\frac{1}{4.00}=0.416\\q=\frac{1}{0.416}=2.40 m

Please match the words to the definitions!!
andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

1. The Centauri star system consists of 3 stars and is about 4.37 light-years away from Earth. (A light-year is the distance that light travels in a year.)

2. We see the visible spectrum which consists of colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. (The visible spectrum is the range of light that our eyes can detect.)

3. Because air has a lower index of refraction than water, the light beams making up the image of the fish I see bends as it leaves the water and enters the air. (Index of refraction determines how light bends when moving from one medium into another.)

4. When I look at my reflection in the mirror, the light reflects off the mirror at an equal but opposite angle as it hits the mirror.

5. When looking into a concave mirror the center is further away from you than the outside edges.  (Concave mirrors cave in.)

6. Forklift drivers are careful to look in the convex mirrors placed at blind intersections in the warehouse.

7. is transparent and the light goes through without distortion.

8. The electromagnetic spectrum refers to any or all of the possible wavelengths of "light", both the visible light and invisible light.

9. The transmission of light through a medium means it goes through it.

10. The absorption of light by a medium means it is absorbed by it.

The sum of the initial and final velocity is divided by 2 to find the average.
4vir4ik [10]

The average velocity is obtained by ( u + v)/2.

<h3>What is average velocity?</h3>

The term velocity refers to the rate of change of displacement with time. Velocity is a vector quantity thus it has both magnitude and direction. The velocity of a body could also be shown by the use of the vector notation.

To obtain the average velocity;

Let the initial velocity be u

Let the final velocity be v

It then follows that the average velocity = ( u + v)/2

a tungsten and coil has a resistance of 12 ohm at 15 degree celsius is the temperature coefficient of resistance of tungsten is
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The resistance of the tungsten coil at 80 degrees Celsius is 15.12 ohm

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The resistance of the tungsten coil at 15 degrees Celsius = 12 ohm

The temperature coefficient of resistance of tungsten = 0.004/°C

The resistance of the tungsten coil at 80 degrees Celsius is found using the following relation;

R₂ = R₁·[1 + α·(t₂ - t₁)]

Where;

R₁ = The resistance at the initial  temperature = 12 ohm

R₂ = The resistance of tungsten at the final temperature

t₁ = The initial temperature = 15 degrees Celsius

t₂ = The final temperature = 80 degrees Celsius

α = temperature coefficient of resistance of tungsten = 0.004/°C

Therefore, we have;

R₂ = 12×[1 + 0.004×(80 - 15)] = 15.12 ohm

The resistance of the tungsten coil at 80 degrees Celsius = 15.12 ohm.
