A wildlife photographer uses a moderate telephoto lens of focal length 135 mm and maximum aperture f/4.00 to photograph a bear t

hat is 12.0m away. Assume the wavelength is 550 nm.
A). What is the width of the smallest feature on the bear that this lens can resolve if it is opened to its maximum aperture?
B).If, to gain depth of field, the photographer stops the lens down to f /22.0, what would be the width of the smallest resolvable feature on the bear?

Answer:

<h3>(A) The width x = 0.24 \times 10^{-3} m</h3><h3>(B) The new width is 1.32 \times 10^{-3} m</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

Focal length f =   135 \times 10^{-3}  m

Maximum aperture D = \frac{f}{4}

Wavelength \lambda = 550 \times 10^{-9} m

(A)

From rayleigh criterion,

  \theta = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{D}

  \theta =\frac{ 1.22 \times 550 \times 10^{-9}  }{33.75 \times 10^{-3} }

  \theta = 1.98 \times 10^{-5} rad

From angle formula,

  x = R\theta

Where R = 12 m ( given in example )

x = 12 \times 1.98 \times 10^{-5} m

x = 23.76 \times 10^{-5}

x = 0.24 \times 10^{-3} m

(B)

We know that \theta is proportional to the x and inversely proportional to the D

so we write the new width, here x is 5.5 times larger than above case

   x = 0.24 \times  10^{-3}  \times \frac{22}{4}

   x = 1.32 \times 10^{-3} m

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

(a) W=1.20×10⁴J

(b) U= -5.46×10⁴J

(c) Q= -4.26×10⁴J

Explanation:

Given that student does 1.20×10⁴J work

(a) W=1.20×10⁴J

Work done by student,so positive sign

During the process, his internal energy decreases by 5.46×10⁴J.

(b) U= -5.46×10⁴J.

As the Energy decreases therefore negative sign

For (c) Q

We know the formula

Q=W+U\\Q=1.2*10^{4}+(-5.46*10^{4} )\\ Q=-4.26*10^{4}J

Answer:

Nuclear fission of U235 to Kr92 and Ba 141.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the spantenous disintegration or breaking down of a big atom into smaller nucleus with the release of huge amount of energy. It involves the artificial transmutation of a heavier nucleus by bombardment with other rasuiactive particles.

xenn [34]

Answer:

The bucket  located in the direction opposite of displacement of the rod for balancing will be heavier.

Explanation:

Moment of a force is directly proportional to it's distance from the point about which rotation takes place. In the given case the man increases the lever arm(distance from point of rotation of the force) to balance the moment of the lighter bucket. Thus in the direction of the increase the lighter bucket will be placed.
