Answer:

a) Focal length of the lens is 8 cm which is a convex lens

b) 6 cm

c) The lens is a convex lens and produces a virtual image which is upright and two times larger than the object.

Explanation:

u = Object distance =  4 cm

v = Image distance = -8 cm

f = Focal length

Lens Equation

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{-8}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{8}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{8}{1}=-8\ cm

a) Focal length of the lens is 8 cm which is a convex lens

Magnification

m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{-8}{4}\\\Rightarrow m=2

b) Height of image is 2×3 = 6 cm

Since magnification is positive the image upright

c) The lens is a convex lens and produces a virtual image which is upright and two times larger than the object.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer

Explanation:

When the silver spoon at a lower temperature than the tea, is added to the tea, it makes thermal contact. Hence, the heat transfer starts between the two until the equilibrium is reached. We know that the heat transfer takes place from the body with a higher temperature to a body with a lower temperature. As a result, the body with higher temperature loses heat and its temperature lowers down. While the body with a lower temperature gains heat and its temperature rises.

Therefore, the correct option is:

<u>D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer</u>

Doubling the frequency of a wave source doubles the speed of the wave assuing that wavelength remains the same? True or false? W
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:true,because velocity is directly proportional to speed or velocity

Explanation:

Velocity = frequency x wavelength

The velocity or speed varies directly with the frequency, so as the frequency is increased, the velocity or speed is also increased
