The VLBA (Very Long Baseline Array) uses a number of individual radio telescopes to make one unit having an equivalent diameter

of about 8000 km. This radio telescope is focusing radio waves of wavelength 2.0 cm. What would have to be the diameter of the mirror of a visible-light telescope focusing light of wavelength 582 nm so that the visible-light telescope has the same resolution as the radio telescope? Give an answer in m. Pay attention to the number of significant figures.

Answer:

d₂=232.8 m

Explanation:

We know that formula for resolution given as

θres = 1.22 λ/d

Where

λ=wavelength

d=diameter

Given that resolution should be same.So we can say that

1.22 λ₁/d₁= 1.22 λ₂/d₂

λ₁/d₁= λ₂/d₂

d_2=\dfrac{\lambda _2}{\lambda _1}d_1

Given that

λ₂=582 nm

λ₁=2 cm

d₁=8000 km

d_2=\dfrac{582\times 10^{-9}\times 8000\times10^3}{0.02}\ m

d₂=232.8 m

Answer:

No. He was not the first person who built a microscope. But he made simple (one lens), but the microscopes that he did built were the best ones for that time.

2. Which of the diagrams shows the least gravitational force between the two objects?
Maru [420]
<h2>Question:- </h2>

Which of the diagrams shows the least gravitational force between the two objects?

<h2>Options :- </h2>

a. I

b. II

c. III

d. IV

<h2>Answer :- Option D . IV </h2>

<h2>Explanation :- </h2>

  1. Gravitational force directly proportional to both the masses and in 4th and 3th case we have least mass of 2 on both side which is less than 10 in 2 cases
  2. Gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of the distance between the masses and in case 1st and 4th we have more distance than in 2nd and 3th . we know larger the distance lesser will be the force

From above observation we can conclude that gravitational force is least in 4th case because we have less mass on both side and we have more distance between the 2 masses that others with same mass .

What does to squeeze a gas into a smaller space mean?
kobusy [5.1K]
Youre basically allowing the gas to have room to roam free in a large container. When you "squeeze" it into a smaller space, there is less room to move and thus the atoms bounce off of each other more often.
