A double-concave (thickest at the edges, thinnest in the middle) thin lens is made of glass with an index of refraction of 1.6.

The radius of curvature of the left and right faces of the lens are 65 cm and 75 cm, respectively. The object lies to the left of the lens. What is the focal length of the lens

Answer:

- 58 cm

Explanation:

refractive index, n = 1.6

radius of curvature of left face, R1 = - 65 cm

Radius of curvature of the right face, R2 = 75 cm

Use the lens maker's formula

\frac{1}{f}=\left ( n-1 \right )\times \left ( \frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}} \right )

\frac{1}{f}=\left ( 1.6-1 \right )\times \left ( -\frac{1}{65}-\frac{1}{75} \right )

\frac{1}{f}=\left ( 0.6 \right )\times \left ( \frac{-75-65}{75\times 65}\right )

f = - 58 cm

Thus, the focal length of the lens is - 58 cm.

A boy who is riding his bicycle, moves with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. ten second later, he is moving at 15 m/s. what is his
boyakko [2]

Answer:

1 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question,

Using

a = (v-u)/t.................... Equation 1

Where a = accelartion of the bicycle, v = Final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: v = 15 m/s, u = 5 m/s, t = 10 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

a = (15-5)/10

a = 10/10

a = 1 m/s²

Hence the acceleration of the bicycle is 1 m/s²

What is the origin of the atomic emission spectrum of an element
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The electronic transition of an electron back to a lower energy level generates an emission spectrum.

Explanation:

The atomic emission spectrum¹ of an element has its origin when an electronic transition² occurs. An electron in an atom or ion³will absorb energy coming from a source and pass to a higher energy level, the electron, upon returning to its base state will emit a photon⁴ or a series of photons.

Hence, that leads to the formation of an emission spectrum.

Remember that an electron has energy levels in an atom or ion, at which each energy level has a specific value.

The energy values will differ from one element to another. So, it can be concluded that each element has a unique pattern of emission lines.

Key terms:        

¹Spectrum: Decomposition of light in its characteristic colors.

²Electronic transition: When an electron passes from one energy level to another, either for the emission or absorption of a photon.

³Ion: An atom electrically charged due to the gain or loss of electrons.

⁴Photon: Elementary particle that constitutes light.

A stone falls from rest from the top of a cliff. A second stone is thrown downward from the same height 2.7 s later with an init
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:4.05 s

Explanation:

Given

First stone is drop from cliff and second stone is thrown with a speed of 52.92 m/s after 2.7 s

Both hit the ground at the same time

Let h be the height of cliff and it reaches after time t

h=\frac{gt^2}{2}

For second stone

h=52.92\times \left ( t-2.7\right )+\frac{g\left ( t-2.7\right )^2}{2}---2

Equating 1 &2 we get

\frac{gt^2}{2}=52.92\times \left ( t-2.7\right )+\frac{g\left ( t-2.7\right )^2}{2}

\frac{g}{2}\left ( t-t+2.7\right )\left ( 2t-2.7\right )-\left ( t-2.7\right )52.92=0

13.23\times \left ( 2t-2.7\right )-\left ( t-2.7\right )52.92=0

26.46t-35.721-52.92t+142.884=0

t=4.05 s

Much of the information taught in Earth-Space Science would not be available if it weren’t for our remote sensing abilities. Exp
boyakko [2]

Answer:

  1. collecting information
  2. imaging

Explanation:

Remote sensing means we do not have to be physically present in that particular area that we're studying by taking certain measurements. Several tools have been developed overtime to enable us to make this feat possible. Satellites in orbit have a major role to play in this regard. They exist to gather information from outer space and captures images that help us know more about our universe.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
