Answer:

The separation between the charges was decreased by a factor of 0.2

Explanation:

The Coulomb's force between two charges is given by;

$F = \frac{kq^2}{r^2} \\\\let \ kq^2 \ be \ constant\\\\F_1r_1^2 = F_2r_2^2\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{F_1r_1^2}{F_2} \\\\increasing \ the \ force \ between \ them \ by \ factor \ of \ 25\\\\(F_2 = 25F_1)\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{F_1r_1^2}{25F_1}\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{r_1^2}{25}\\\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{r_1^2}{25} }\\\\ r_2 = \frac{r_1}{5}$

r₂ = 0.2r₁

Therefore, the separation between the charges was decreased by a factor of 0.2.

Answer:

The range of powers is $- 5 \ D \le P \le - 2.667\ D$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The far point of the left eye is $n_f = 20 cm$

The near point of the left eye is $n = 15cm$

The near point with the glasses on is $n_g =25 \ cm$

From these parameter we can see that with the glass on that for near point the

Object distance would be $u = -25 \ cm$

Image distance would be $v = -15 \ cm$

To obtain the focal length we would apply the lens formula which is mathematically represented as

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u}$

substituting values

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-15} - \frac{1}{-25}$

$f = - \frac{75}{2} cm$

converting to meters

$f = - \frac{75}{2} * \frac{1}{100}$

$f = - \frac{75}{200} \ m$

Generally the power of the lens is mathematically represented as

$P = \frac{1}{f}$

Substituting values

$P = - \frac{200}{75} m$

$P = - 2.667 \ D$

From these parameter we can see that with the glass on that for far point the

Object distance would be $u_f = - \infty \ cm$

Image distance would be $v_f = -20 \ cm$

To obtain the focal length of the lens we would apply the lens formula which is mathematically represented as

$\frac{1}{f_f} = \frac{1}{v_f} - \frac{1}{u_f}$

substituting values

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} - \frac{1}{- \infty}$

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} - 0$

$f_f = \frac{20}{1} \ cm$

converting to meters

$f_f = - \frac{20}{1} * \frac{1}{100}$

Generally the power of the lens is mathematically represented as

$P = \frac{1}{f_f}$

Substituting values

$P = - \frac{100}{20} m$

$P = - 5 \ D$

This implies that the range of powers of the lens in his glass is

$- 5 \ D \le P \le - 2.667\ D$

A 7.55 × 1014 hz electromagnetic wave travels in carbon tetrachloride with a speed of 2.05 ×108 m/s. what is the wavelength of t

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

2.72×10^-7

Explanation:

velocity = frequency × wavelength

2.05×10^8=7.55×10^14 wavelength

wavelength = 2.05×10^8/7.55×10^14

wavelength = 2.72×10^-7

Describe the orbital diagram of an atom with 16 electrons

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The orbital diagram represents the filling of electrons in the sub levels of an orbit. The filling of the orbitals in sub- levels follow some basic rules and principles.

The orbital diagram of an orbit containing 16 electrons will be as follows:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁴

The maximum number of electrons in each sublevel of the orbitals are:
2 electrons for s-sublevel with one orbital
6 electrons for p-sublevel with three orbital
10 electrons for d-sublevel with five orbital
14 electrons for f-sublevel with seven orbital
