A person can see clearly up close but cannot focus on objects beyond 75.0 cm. She opts for contact lenses to correct her vision.
1 answer:
Answer:
(a) nearsighted
(b) diverging
(c) the lens strength in diopters is 1.33 D, and considering the convention for divergent lenses normally prescribed as: -1 33 D
Explanation:
(a) The person is nearsighted because he/she cannot see objects at distances larger than 75 cm.
(b) the type of correcting lens has to be such that it counteracts the excessive converging power of the eye of the person, so the lens has to be diverging (which by the way carries by convention a negative focal length)
(c) the absolute value of the focal length (f) is given by the formula:
So it would normally be written with a negative signs in front indicating a divergent lens.

The wavenumber and (b) the wavelength of the radiation used by an fm radio transmitter broadcasting at 92. 0 mhz will be 31.25 *
and 0.032 *
m respectively
Forms of electromagnetic radiation like radio waves, light waves or infrared (heat) waves make characteristic patterns as they travel through space. Each wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between peaks (high points) is called wavelength.
Wavenumber, also called wave number, a unit of frequency, often used in atomic, molecular, and nuclear spectroscopy, equal to the true frequency divided by the speed of the wave and thus equal to the number of waves in a unit distance.
wavelength = ?
frequency = 92 m Hz = 92 * Hz
speed of light = 3 * m/s
speed of light = frequency * wavelength
wavelength = speed of light / frequency
= 3 * / 92 *
= 0.032 * m
wavenumber = 1 / wavelength
= 1 / 0.032 * m
= 31.25 *

Answer:
(a) T = 2987.6 k
(b) T = 19986.2 k
Explanation:
The temperature of a star in terms of peak wavelength can be given by Wein's Displacement Law, which is as follows:
where,
T = Radiated surface temperature
= peak wavelength
(a)
here,
= 970 nm = 9.7 x 10⁻⁷ m
Therefore,
<u>T = 2987.6 k</u>
(b)
here,
= 145 nm = 1.45 x 10⁻⁷ m
Therefore,
<u>T = 19986.2 k</u>
