Answer:

High-Level Clouds

Cloud types include: cirrus and cirrostratus.

High-level clouds form above 20,000 feet (6,000 meters) and since the temperatures are so cold at such high elevations, these clouds are primarily composed of ice crystals. High-level clouds are typically thin and white in appearance, but can appear in a magnificent array of colors when the sun is low on the horizon.

Mid-Level Clouds

Cloud types include: altocumulus, altostratus.

The bases of mid-level clouds typically appear between 6,500 to 20,000 feet (2,000 to 6,000 meters). Because of their lower altitudes, they are composed primarily of water droplets, however, they can also be composed of ice crystals when temperatures are cold enough.

Low-level Clouds

Cloud types include: nimbostratus and stratocumulus.

Low clouds are of mostly composed of water droplets since their bases generally lie below 6,500 feet (2,000 meters). However, when temperatures are cold enough, these clouds may also contain ice particles and snow.

Answer:

Low- Level:  Cumulus and stratus

Cumulus have tops that are rounded, puffy, and a brilliant white when sunlit, while their bottoms are flat and relatively dark.

Stratus clouds hang low in the sky as a flat, featureless, uniform layer of grayish cloud.

Mid-Level:  Altocumulus and nimbostratus

Altocumulus have white or gray patches that dot the sky in large, rounded masses or clouds that are aligned in parallel bands.

Nimbostratus clouds cover the sky in a dark gray layer. They are thick enough to blot out the sun

High-Level: Cirrus and cirrocumulus

Cirrus are thin, white, wispy strands of clouds that streak across the sky. They are made up of tiny ice crystals rather than water droplets.

Cirrocumulus clouds are small, white patches of clouds often arranged in rows that live at high altitudes and are made of ice crystals.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The image distance is 17.56 cm

Explanation:

We have,

Height of light bulb is 3 cm.

The light bulb is placed at a distance of 50 cm. It means object distance is, u =-50 cm

Focal length of the lens, f = +13 cm

Let v is distance between image and the lens. Using lens formula :

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{13}+\dfrac{1}{(-50)}\\\\v=17.56\ cm

So, the image distance is 17.56 cm.
