Some lenses are shaped with one flat side and one spherically-shaped side. This shape is designed to focus parallel light rays o

nto a single point. In a few sentences, explain how the spherical shape of the lens' surfaces causes parallel light rays to focus on a single point. (Assume the light is travelling through air into a lens with an index of refraction greater than that of air.) g

Answer:

Some lenses are used to focus light to a pre-defined point based on the amount of curvature of their surfaces.

In a piano design convex, some surfaces are flat while others has positive lenses (biconvex)

Explanation:

Solution

These lenses are applied to pay attention to light in a  point pre-defined  based on the amount of curvature of their surfaces.

For that of a plano-convex design, one surface has a positive curve and for biconvex lenses, both surfaces are positively curved while the other  remains flat.

when used practically, plano-convex lenses are most commonly used where the object being imaged is far apart from lens.

Describe the difference between distance, position, and displacement
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>Position is the location of the object (whether it's a person, a ball, or a particle) at a given moment in time.</em>

<em>Displacement is the difference in the object's position from one time to another.</em>

<em>Distance is the total amount the object has traveled in a certain period of time.</em>

A ball is dropped from an upper floor, some unknown distance above your apartment. As you look out of your window, which is 1.50
laila [671]

Answer:

The ball is dropped at a height of 9.71 m above the top of the window.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Height of the window=1.5 m
  • Time taken by ball to cover the window height=0.15

Now using equation of motion in one dimension we have

s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}

Let u be the velocity of the ball when it reaches the top of the window

then

1.5=0.15u+\dfrac{9.8\times0.15^2}{2}\\u=3.96\ \rm m/s\\

Now u is the final velocity of the ball with respect to the top of the building

so let t be the time taken for it to reach the top of the window with this velocity

3.96=gt\\t=0.4\ \rm s\\

Let h be the height above the top of the window

h=\dfrac{gt^2}{2}\\\\h=\dfrac{9.8\times 0.4^2}{2}\\h=9.71\ \rm m
