An object is 15 cm in front of a diverging lens with a
Rainbow [258]

A) See ray diagram in attachment (-6.0 cm)

By looking at the ray diagram, we see that the image is located approximately at a distance of 6-7 cm from the lens. This can be confirmed by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}

where

q is the distance of the image from the lens

f = -10 cm is the focal length (negative for a diverging lens)

p = 15 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solving for q,

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{-10 cm}-\frac{1}{15 cm}=-0.167 cm^{-1}

q=\frac{1}{-0.167 cm^{-1}}=-6.0 cm

B) The image is upright

As we see from the ray diagram, the image is upright. This is also confirmed by the magnification equation:

h_i = - h_o \frac{q}{p}

where h_i, h_o are the size of the image and of the object, respectively.

Since q < 0 and p > o, we have that h_i >0, which means that the image is upright.

C) The image is virtual

As we see from the ray diagram, the image is on the same side of the object with respect to the lens: so, it is virtual.

This is also confirmed by the sign of q in the lens equation: since q < 0, it means that the image is virtual

When an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually_____.
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.

On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.

Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.

Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.

Which of the following processes are Exothermic? I. Melting II. Sublimation III. Vaporization IV. Condensation
mariarad [96]

Answer: condensation process is exothermic. The correct option is IV.

Explanation: Exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which heat is released to the surrounding environment.

condensation is defined as a process by which a medium changes from gaseous phase into liquid phase. Using water molecules to illustrate, to transform water molecules to gaseous phase it requires the heat of vaporization to be overcomed. This same hear of vaporization needs to be given off when changing back to liquid phase.
