Answer:

even if it all could be used, it wouldn't be enough

Explanation:

The land area of the US is about 5.45% of the world's area, so the amount of released heat over the area of the US is on the order of 2.4 Tw. Current technology for converting geothermal energy to electricity is about 12% efficient, so the available energy might amount to 0.29 Tw if it could all be captured.

Energy consumption in the US in 2019 was on the order of 0.46 Tw. This suggests that even if <em>all</em> of the thermal energy radiated by the Earth from the US could be turned to useful forms of energy, it would meet only about 60% of the US need for energy.

Explanation:

Formula which holds true for a leans with radii $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ and index refraction n is given as follows.

$\frac{1}{f} = (n - 1) [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]$

Since, the lens is immersed in liquid with index of refraction $n_{1}$ . Therefore, focal length obeys the following.

$\frac{1}{f_{1}} = \frac{n - n_{1}}{n_{1}} [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]$

$\frac{1}{f(n - 1)} = [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]$

and, $\frac{n_{1}}{f(n - n_{1})} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}$

or, $f_{1} = \frac{fn_{1}(n - 1)}{(n - n_{1})}$

$f_{w} = \frac{10 \times 1.33 \times (1.56 - 1)}{(1.56 - 1.33)}$

= 32.4 cm

Using thin lens equation, we will find the focal length as follows.

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{s_{o}} + \frac{1}{s_{i}}$

Hence, image distance can be calculated as follows.

$\frac{1}{s_{i}} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s_{o}} = \frac{s_{o} - f}{fs_{o}}$

$s_{i} = \frac{fs_{o}}{s_{o} - f}$

$s_{i} = \frac{32.4 \times 100}{100 - 32.4}$

= 47.9 cm

Therefore, we can conclude that the focal length of the lens in water is 47.9 cm.

Fill in the blank. Consider the inverse square law: When light leaves a light bulb, it spreads out over more and more space as i

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Intensity of light is inversely proportional to distance from source

I ∝ 1 /r² where I is intensity and r is distance from source . If I₁ and I₂ be intensity at distance r₁ and r₂ .

I₁ /I₂ = r₂² /r₁²

If r₂ = 4r₁ ( given )

I₁ / I₂ = (4r₁ )² / r₁²

= 16 r₁² / r₁²

I₁ / I₂ = 16

I₂ = I₁ / 16

So intensity will become 16 times less bright .

"16 times " is the answer .
