Answer:

Gran Telescopio Canarias

Explanation:

There are numerous giant telescopes all over the world which give us amazingly details data of the Universe. These work in various wavelengths. Talking about the telescopes which operates in visible wavelengths, the largest operational telescope will be Gran Telescopio Canarias. This telescope has an aperture of 10.4m. It is situated in Canary Island, Spain.

In future larger telescopes such as Thirty Meter Telescope and EELT will will make it look like a small telescope.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

distance between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm

Explanation:

given data

length L = 32 cm = 0.32 m

to find out

frequency and distance between adjacent anti nodes

solution

we consider here speed of sound through air at room temperature 20 degree is approximately v = 343 m/s

lowest frequency will be = $\frac{v}{2L}$ ..............1

put here value in equation 1

lowest frequency will be = $\frac{343}{2(0.32)}$

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

and

we have given highest frequency f = 4000Hz

wavelength = $\frac{v}{f}$ ..............2

put here value

wavelength = $\frac{343}{4000}$

wavelength = 0.08575 m

so distance = $\frac{wavelength}{2}$ ..............3

distance = $\frac{0.08575}{2}$

distance = 0.0425 m

so distance between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm

Compute the kinetic energy of a proton (mass 1.67×10−27kg ) using both the nonrelativistic and relativistic expressions for spee

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is $6.76\times10^{-12}\ J$

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is $7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of proton $m=1.67\times10^{-27}\ kg$

Speed $v= 9.00\times10^{7}\ m/s$

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for non relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.67\times10^{-27}\times(9.00\times10^{7})^2$

$K.E=6.76\times10^{-12}\ J$

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E=mc^2(\sqrt{(\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}})}-1)$

$K.E=1.67\times10^{-27}\times(3\times10^{8})^{2}\cdot\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{1-\frac{\left(9.00\times10^{7}\right)^{2}}{(3\times10^{8})^{2}}}}-1\right)$

$K.E=7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s$

Hence, The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is $6.76\times10^{-12}\ J$

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is $7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s$

The photographer realizes that with the lens she is currently using, she can't fit the entire landscape she is trying to photogr

dexar [7]

She should use shorter focal length to fit the entire landscape which she is trying to photograph into her picture.

What is focal length?

The focal length is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light.

A positive focal length indicates that a system converges light, while a negative focal length indicates that the system diverges light.

For a standard rectilinear lens,

FOV = 2 arctan (x/2f)

FOV ∝ 1 / f

where x is the diagonal of the film.

Focal length (f) and field of view (FOV) of a lens are inversely proportional.

From the equation we can say that,

A shorter focal length gives you a wide angle of view which allows more view to fit in the frame.

Hence,

She should use shorter focal length to fit the entire landscape which she is trying to photograph into her picture.
