Answer:

Total magnification is the amount of magnification that can be achieved when all the optics involved in the magnification by the apparatus being used is taken into account.

Explanation:

Total magnification is the amount of magnification that can be achieved when all the optics involved in the magnification by the apparatus being used is taken into account. For example when an object is viewed under a microscope with just ocular and objective lenses, the object is magnified to it maximum magnification using both the ocular lens and objective lens and the total magnification can be calculated by multiplying the power of the objective lens and the power of the eye piece.

Total magnification = power of objective lens x power of eyepiece

The weight of a person is 500N and his foot imprint area is 0.5m^2.Calculate the total pressure exerted by person when he stands

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Pressure on both feet will be $500N/m^2$

Explanation:

Weight of the person F = 500 N

Area of foot print $A=0.5m^2$

Area of both the foot $A=2\times 0.5=1m^2$

We have to find pressure on both the feet

Pressure is equal to ratio of force and area

So pressure $P=\frac{F}{A}$

$P=\frac{500}{1}=500N/m^2$

So the pressure on both feet will be $500N/m^2$ when person stands on both feet.

A total solar eclipse is a rare event. Although they occur somewhere on earth every 18 months on average, it is estimated that t

Setler79 [48]

Because the tip of the moon's shadow ... the area of "totality" ... is never more than a couple hundred miles across, It never covers a single place for more than 7 minutes, and can never stay on the Earth's surface for more than a few hours altogether during one eclipse.

If you're not inside that small area, you don't see a total eclipse.

Assume that the polymer material has a constant refractive index of 1.5. For light of 600nm wavelength at normal incidence, what

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Explanation:

We have given refractive index is n = 1.5

Wavelength of the light incidence $\lambda$ = 600 nm

We have to find the smallest thickness of the film so that there will be minimum light reflect

For minimum thickness of non reflecting film

$t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}$ , here t is thickness, $\lambda$ is wavelength and n is refractive index

Putting all values $t=\frac{600}{4\times 1.5}=100nm$

So minimum thickness will be 100 nm

What is the power output of a pump which can raise 60kg of water height to height of 10m every minute

sattari [20]

Answer:

<h3>Power = Work Done/time</h3>

=> Power = 60×10×10/60

=> Power = 6000/60

=> Power = 100 Watt

Hence the power output of a pump is 100 Watts.

e-lub [12.9K]

You should not go into the left side of the roadway when within 100 feet of the crossing. Moreover, you should also turn on your turn signal when within 100 of a turn. These precautions prevent accidents as it makes clear to other drivers what your intentions are and drivers making turns are not endangered.
