The eyes of many older people have lost the ability to accommodate, and so an older person’s near point may be more than 25 cm f

rom the eye. Does the older person’s eye have a larger or smaller refractive power than a normal eye, when focused on an object at the near point? Explain.

Answer:

Smaller refractive power

Explanation:

The refractive power of an eye is the extent to which it can converge or diverge the light rays.

Near point is the the closest point for an eye such that when an object is placed at that point the image it forms is sharp and clearly visible to the eye.

A the person ages, the ciliary muscles of the eyes weakens and as a result the lens contracts and the formation of the image takes place behind the retina instead of forming at the retina.

Thus the near point also increases and the refractive power becomes smaller.

calculate the resistance of 50m length of wire of cross sectional area 0.01 square mm and of resistivity 5*10 to the power minus
Pachacha [2.7K]
Resistance R = resistivity * length / area

R = 5  10^{-8} * 50 m / 0.01 *  10^{-3} * 10^{-3}

R =  250 Ohms

The period T of a pendulum of length L is measured to determine g at the surface of Earth. The equation used is T=2π√L/g. The ma
saul85 [17]

Answer:

C: Variation in the value of g as the pendulum bob moves along its arc.

Explanation:

The formula for period of a simple pendulum is given by;

T = 2π√(L/g)

Where;

L is length

g is acceleration due to gravity

Now, from this period equation, it is clear that the only thing that can affect the period of a simple pendulum are changes to its length and acceleration due to gravity.

Looking at the options, the only one that talks about either the length or gravity as being potential causes of the error is option C

What is the frame of reference for a plane moving at 500 km/h?
RUDIKE [14]
The frame of reference is the rotating earth underneath the flight path of the plane, the rate of rotation of the earth is 1036 miles per hour, meaning that the pilot has to compensate this fact when landing the aircraft.
