Answer:

Light-rail systems have been tried all over the country, and they've failed. The system the city proposes won't work, either. People enjoy their cars too much to endure inconvenience for the sake of the environment. And I don't blame them. As the owner of Jake's Used Cars and Trucks, I have seen the joy and freedom car ownership brings people. Americans will never abandon that feeling for the sake of being slightly better citizens. I believe it is far more responsible to purchase a high-quality car with good fuel efficiency. Building an entire light-rail system will be wasteful if few people use it — plus, it will take years to build and cost taxpayers millions of dollars. I encourage all city residents to vote against the light-rail system on May 1.

Answer:

Refracting Telescope

Explanation:

Using a telescope, one may create a magnified view of faraway things. In order to collect and analyze radiation from the gathered data, a telescope is essential. The image shows a refracting telescope in action. Refracting telescopes are essentially optical telescopes that create images using lenses. It is additionally known as a dioptric telescope.

<em>What's the function of a refracting telescope?</em>

In its most basic configuration, a refractor telescope collects light from and creates a picture of what you are attempting to see using a convex lens at "the front" of the telescope, known as the objective lens.

An eyepiece takes up the picture and amplifies it for inspection after the light is bent by the single convex lens at a certain distance.

The drawback of a single convex lens is that not all colors of light are bent equally by it. Consider the way a prism creates a rainbow by dividing a light beam.

At the eyepiece, this uneven light bending creates a colorful picture that, if it's severe enough, becomes undefinable or useless. We refer to this as chromatic aberration.

Hundreds of years ago, humans discovered that making glass with

slightly varied "impurities" in it caused the various varieties of glass to bend light differently from one another.

As a result, the achromatic lens was created. To lessen chromatic aberration, two distinct types of glass are combined in this way. We have been utilizing achromatic lenses for our telescopes for the past 200 years or more.

Going even further, achromatic lenses are enough, or can be, for the majority of astronomers and the observing they undertake, even if they do not provide completely color-free images (that is, images free from chromatic aberration, not a b&w image). Even better refractor telescopes without chromatic aberration were desired by several telescope manufacturers and astronomers. As a result, the apochromatic refractor was created. A well constructed apochromatic refractor will, for all intents and purposes, provide a colorless image.

For the objective lens of the apochromatic refractor, three different kinds of glass are used. Apochromatic lenses can be manufactured from two different types of glass, but whether two or three lens elements are used, at least one of them must be a more expensive, rarer variety of glass. The price of the pricey glass has been decreasing as more is made to match the demand since telescope manufacturers have been making apochromatic refractors for many years. As a result, amateur astronomers may now afford this kind of telescope.

As a result, a refractor telescope contains an objective lens that collects the light and picture of the object you wish to study, and an eyepiece that focuses and amplifies that light and image for observation.

Cheers!

Mrrafil [7]

The principle of Utility states that an action then may be said to be conformable to the principle of utility, or, for shortness sake, to utility, (meaning with respect to the community at large) when the tendency it has to augment the happiness of the community is greater than any it has to diminish it.

The idea that "it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and evil" is what Bentham referred to as the "basic premise" of his philosophy. He rose to prominence as a key figure in Anglo-American philosophy of law and as a political radical whose ideas helped shape welfarism. He supported freedoms of the individual and the economy, the division of religion and state, freedom of speech, the equality of women, the right to divorce.
