. Determine if approximate cylindrical symmetry holds for the following situations. State why or why not. (a) A 300-cm long copp

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

a) Yes

b) No

Explanation:

In the first case, part a, yes we can say for certainty that cylinderical symmetry holds. Why so? You may ask. This is because from the question, we are told that the length of the rod is 300 cm. And this said length is longer than the distance to the point from the center of the rod, which is 5 cm.

In the second half of the question, I beg to disagree that cylindrical symmetry holds. Again, you may ask why, this is because the length of the rod in this case, is having the same order of magnitude as the distance to the center of the rod. Thus, it is not symmetrical.

A light ray incident from medium 1 to medium 2, where n1>n2. When the incident angle exceed the critical angle ac, the refrac

vovikov84 [41]

Explanation:

(a)

Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.

Using Snell's law as:

$n_1\times {sin\theta_i}={n_2}\times{sin\theta_r}$

Where,

${\theta_i}$ is the angle of incidence

${\theta_r}$ is the angle of refraction = 90°

${n_2}$ is the refractive index of the refraction medium

${n_1}$ is the refractive index of the incidence medium

Thus,

$n_1\times {sin\ \theta_{critical}}={n_2}\times{sin\ 90^0}$

The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:

${sin\theta_{critical}}=\frac {n_2}{n_1}$

Where,

${\theta_{critical}}$ is the critical angle

(b)

No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.

If a nearsighted person has a far point df that is 3.50m from the eye, what is the focal length f1 of the contact lenses that th

olga55 [171]

Answer:

f1= -350cm or -3.5m

f2= 22.1cm or 0.221m

Explanation:

A person is nearsighted when the person's far point is less than infinity. A diverging lens is normally used to correct this eye defect. A diverging lens has a negative focal length as seen in the solution attached.

Farsightedness is when a person's near point is farther than 25cm. This eye defect is corrected using a converging lens. The focal length of a converging lens is positive. This is evident in the solution attached. The near point is also referred to as the least distance of distinct vision.
