Answer:

It is real, inverted, and smaller than the object.

Explanation:

Let's start by using the lens equation to find the location of the image:

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

where we have:

q = ? is the distance of the image from the lens

f = 15 cm is the focal length (positive for a converging lens)

p = 50 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solving the equation for q, we find

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{15 cm}-\frac{1}{50 cm}=0.047 cm^{-1}

q=\frac{1}{0.047 cm^{-1}}=+21.3 cm

The sign of q is positive, so the image is real.

Now let's also write 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

By substituting p = 50 cm and q = 21.3 cm, we find

h_i = - h_o \frac{21.3 cm}{50 cm}=-0.43 h_o

So we notice that:

|h_i| < |h_o| : this means that the image is smaller than the object

h_i < 0 : this means that the image is inverted

so, the correct option is:

It is real, inverted, and smaller than the object.

Why were the rings of Uranus not observed directly from telescopes on the ground on Earth? How were they discovered?
leonid [27]

Answer:Explained below.

Explanation:

Uranus rings is made up of jet black, coal-like particles in small bands, making them difficult  to perceive from Earth.This indicates that they are probably composed of a mixture of the ice and a dark material. The nature of  material is dismal, but it might be some organic compounds greatly darkened by the charged particle irradiation from the Uranian magnetosphere. Rings were discovered by using a infrared telescope throughout  the occultation of a star as Uranus passed in front of it. The light from the star dimmed many times before it was obstructed by the disk of Uranus and subsequently, showing the presence of various distinct rings.

What color of light must blue light mix with to create white light?
schepotkina [342]
<h2>Answer: a. Yellow </h2>

According to the additive theory of color, when we join the <u>three primary colors of light</u> (Red + Green + Blue) we get White light.

On the other hand we have <u>secondary colors of ligh</u>t that are:

Yellow = Red + Green

Magenta = Blue + Red

Cyan = Blue + Green

Now, if we know that:

Red + Green + Blue = White

And:

Red + Green = Yellow

Then:

<h2>Yellow + Blue = White</h2>
