The Cassegrain design provides more compact (shorter) telescopes. Why? (Examine figures 2.4.2 and 2.4.3). The shorter design is

usually preferred in situations where the telescope is transported frequently.

Answer:

Because the light reflects multiple times until it gets to the Cassegrain focus.

Explanation:

The Cassegrain design can be seen in a reflecting telescope. In this type of design the light is collected by a concave mirror, and then intercepted by a secondary convex mirror, and sends it down to a central opening in the primary mirror (concave mirror), in which a detector is placed (Cassegrain focus)

Since, the light is reflected many times due to Cassegrain design, that leads to shorter telescopes.

The poles of the Earth's magnetic field line up with the geographic poles of the Earth.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: False

Explanation: A magnetic compass does not point to the geographic north pole. A magnetic compass points to the earth's magnetic poles, which are not the same as earth's geographic poles. Furthermore, the magnetic pole near earth's geographic north pole is actually the south magnetic pole.

To cross the river a swimmer chooses the direction minimizing the amount of time spent in the water. The swimmer swims at a cons
Lynna [10]

Answer:

304 meters downstream

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The speed of the swimmer = 2.00 m/s

The width of the river = 73.0 m

The speed of the river = 8.00 m/s

Therefore;

The direction of the swimmer's resultant velocity = tan⁻¹(8/2) ≈ 75.96° downstream

The distance downstream the swimmer will reach the opposite shore = 4 × 73 = 304 m downstream

The distance downstream the swimmer will reach the opposite shore = 304 m downstream

What is the focal length (in meters) of a lens whose radius of curvature is 9. 2 m and has a refractive index 1. 2?
Fed [463]

The focal length (in meters) of a lens whose radius of curvature is 9. 2 m and has a refractive index  1.2 will be 18.4 m

The focal length of a lens is determined when the lens is focused at infinity. Lens focal length tells us the angle of view—how much of the scene will be captured—and the magnification—how large individual elements will be.

Focal length of a lens is the distance between center of lens and focal point . Focal point is a point on principal axis , at which light rays parallel to principal axis meet after refraction through lens or seem to meet after refraction .

The radius of curvature is the radius of sphere formed by the convex or concave mirror. It is also equal to the distance between the pole and center of curvature. The sign convention for focal length and radius of curvature is the same.

focal length = 2 * radius of curvature

given

radius of curvature = 9.2 m

focal length = 2 * 9.2

                    = 18.4 m
