A solar cooker, really a concave mirror pointed at the Sun, focuses the Sun's rays 13.8 cm in front of the mirror. Part A What i
1 answer:
From the concept of optics on a curvature of a spherical mirror, the proportion for which the focal length is equivalent to half the radius of curvature is fulfilled. Mathematically this is
Here,
f = Focal Length
R = Radius
Rearranging to find the radius we have,
Replacing with our values,
R = 2(13.8cm)
R = 27.6cm
Therefore the radius of the spherical surface from which the mirror was made is 27.6cm

Explanation:
If a metal rod of length L moves with velocity v is moving perpendicular to its length, in a magnetic field B, the induced emf is given by :
The electric field in the conductor is given by :
It is clear that the electric field is independent of the length of the rod. If the length of the rod is doubled, the electric field in the rod remains the same.
