Explanation :

Telescope is an instrument which is used to magnify distant objects bright, consistent and large.

The function of an ideal telescope must be :

  1. Magnification
  2. Resolution
  3. Power of gathering of light

There are many types of Telescope like:

  • X ray telescope
  • Optical telescope
  • Ultraviolet telescope etc

Hence, the correct option is (b) " It magnifies light received from distant objects ".

elena55 [62]

Answer:

KE₂ = 6000 J

Explanation:

Given that

Potential energy at top U₁= 7000 J

Potential energy at bottom U₂= 1000 J

The kinetic energy at top ,KE₁= 0 J

Lets take kinetic energy at bottom level =  KE₂

Now from energy conservation

U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂

Now by putting the values

U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂

7000+ 0 = 1000+ KE₂

KE₂ = 7000 - 1000 J

KE₂ = 6000 J

Therefore the kinetic energy at bottom is 6000 J.

What is the resultant of the vectors shown?
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Option A is the wrong answer because the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction.

Option C is the wrong answer as the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction and all the vectors are connected head to tail [of the arrows] [Triangle law of vector addition]

Option D is the wrong answer as the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction.

If I rub a polythene piece with a wool , is there a transfer of mass from wool to polythene?​
kirill [66]

Yes, As a result, wool is positively charged while polythene is negatively charged. As a result, 1.87 1012 electrons have been transported from wool to polythene. As a result, only a sliver of mass is transferred from wool to polythene.

An atom emits a photon when one of its electrons:
disa [49]

Answer:

undergoes a transition to a quantum state of lower energy

Explanation:

When electrons in an atom move to another quantum state, they emit/absorb a photon according to the following:

- If the electron is moving to a higher energy state, it absorbs a photon (because it needs energy to move to a higher energy level, so it must absorb the energy of the photon)

- if the electron is moving to a lower energy state, it emits a photon (because it releases the excess energy)

In particular, the energy of the absorbed/emitted photon is exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two levels of the electron transition:

E=|E_1 - E_2|
