Answer: 12.5m

Explanation:

Given the following :

Flagpole makes 20 complete vibrations in 10 seconds

Velocity (V) of vibration = 25m/s

Find the wavelength of vibration (λ) =?

Frequency is number of complete oscillation per Second

Therefore ;

Frequency (F) = number of oscillations / time taken

F = 20 / 10 = 2Hz

Wavelength = Velocity / frequency

Wavelength = 25 / 2

Wavelength = 12.5m

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.

What happens when light strikes a translucent object?

sammy [17]

Answer:

D) Some of the light passes through, and some of the light is absorbed or scattered by the object.

Explanation:

When light strikes translucent materials, only some of the light passes through them. The light does not pass directly through the materials. ... When light strikes an opaque object none of it passes through. Most of the light is either reflected by the object or absorbed and converted to heat.
