A converging lens has a focal length of 20 cm. An object 1 cm tall is placed 10 cm from the center of the lens. What is the heig

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: 2 cm

Explanation:

Given , for a converging lens

Focal length : $f=20\ cm$

Height of object : $h=1\ cm$

Object distabce from lens : $u=-10\ cm$

Using lens formula: $\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}$ , we get

$\dfrac{1}{20}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{10}$ , where v = image distance from the lens.

On solving aboive equation , we get

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{20}-\dfrac{1}{10}=\dfrac{1-2}{20}=\dfrac{-1}{20}\Rightarrow\ v=-20\ cm$

Formula of Magnification : $m=\dfrac{v}{u}=\dfrac{h'}{h}$ , where h' is the height of image.

Put value of u, v and h in it , we get

$\dfrac{-20}{-10}=\dfrac{h'}{1}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h'=2\ cm$

Hence, the height of the image is 2 cm.

Atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retain the original characteristics of the element. True or false

kozerog [31]

True

Explanation:

Going even smaller than atoms would get you to subatomic particles such as quarks. From there, it is impossible to distinguish elements. So, yes, atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retains the original characteristic of the element.
