An object is placed a distance of twice the focal length away from a diverging lens. What is the magnification of the image?

Physics

Bas_tet [7]3 years ago

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens 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 lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

Here we have a divering lens, so the focal length must be taken as negative (-f). Moreover, we know that the object is placed at a distance of twice the focal length, so

p=2f

So we can find q from the equation:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{(-f)}-\frac{1}{p}=-\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{2f}=-\frac{3}{2f}\\q=-\frac{2}{3}f

Now we can find the magnification of the image, given by:

M=-\frac{q}{p}=-\frac{-\frac{2}{3}f}{2f}=\frac{1}{3}

Answer:

F₂= 210 pounds

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

Hooke's law

Hooke's law establishes that the elongation (x) of a spring is directly proportional to the magnitude of force (F) applied to it, provided that said spring is not permanently deformed:

F= K*x   Formula (1)

Where;

F  is the magnitude of the force applied to the spring in Newtons (Pounds)

K is the elastic spring constant, which relates force and elongation. The higher its value, the more work it will cost to stretch the spring. (Pounds/inch)

x the elongation of the spring (inch)

Data

The data given is incorrect because if we apply them the answer would be illogical.

The correct data are as follows:

F₁ =80 pounds

x₁= 8 inches

x₂= 21  inches

Problem development

We replace data in formula 1 to calculate  K :

F₁= K*x₁

K=( F₁) / (x₁)

K=( 80) / (8) = 10 pounds/ inche

We apply The formula 1 to calculate  F₂

F₂= K*x₂

F₂= (10)*(21)

F₂= 210 pounds

Light of wavelength 559 nm is used to illuminate normally two glass plates 22.1 cm in length that touch at one end and are separ
umka21 [38]

Answer:

M = 222 fringes

Explanation:

given

λ = 559 n m = 559 × 10⁻⁹ m

radius = 0.026 mm = 0.026 ×10⁻³ m

length of the glass plate = 22.1 ×10⁻² m

using relation

2t=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda\ \ (m=0,1,2,3...)\\where\ 0\leq t\leq 2r\\m = \dfrac{2t}{\lambda}-\dfrac{1}{2}

m_{max} = \dfrac{2\times 2r}{\lambda}-\dfrac{1}{2}\\m_{max} = \dfrac{2\times 2\times 0.026\times 10^{-3}}{559\times 10^{-9}}-\dfrac{1}{2}

 = 221.79  

 = 221 (approx.)

hence no of bright fringe

M = m + 1

   = 221 +1

M = 222 fringes
