Two light bulbs are 2.0 m apart. From what distance can these light bulbs be marginally resolved by a small telescope with a 4.5

andrezito [222]

Answer:

R = 1.2295 10⁵ m

Explanation:

After reading your problem they give us the diameter of the lens d = 4.50 cm = 0.0450 m, therefore if we use the Rayleigh criterion for the resolution in the diffraction phenomenon, we have that the minimum separation occurs in the first minimum of diffraction of one of the bodies m = 1 coincides with the central maximum of the other body

θ = 1.22 λ / D

where the constant 1.22 leaves the resolution in polar coordinates and D is the lens aperture

how angles are measured in radians

θ = y / R

where y is the separation of the two bodies (bulbs) y = 2 m and R the distance from the bulbs to the lens

$\frac{y}{R} = 1.22 \frac{ \lambda}{D}$

R = $\frac{ y \ D}{1.22 \lambda}$

let's calculate

R = $\frac{ 2 \ 0.045}{ 1.22 \ 600 \ 10^{-9}}$

R = 1.2295 10⁵ m

A lighthouse is located on a small island, 3 km away from the nearest point on a straight shoreline, and its light makes four re

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The beam of light is moving at the peed of:

$\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{80\pi}{3}$ km/min

Given:

Distance from the isalnd, d = 3 km

No. of revolutions per minute, n = 4

Solution:

Angular velocity, $\omega = \frac{d\theta'}{dt} = 2\pi n = 2\pi \times 4 = 8\pi$ (1)

Now, in the right angle in the given fig.:

$tan\theta' = \frac{y}{3}$

Now, differentiating both the sides w.r.t t:

$\frac{dtan\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}$

Applying chain rule:

$\frac{dtan\theta'}{d\theta'}.\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}$

$sec^{2}\theta'\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt} = (1 + tan^{2}\theta')\frac{d\theta'}{dt}$

Now, using $tan\theta = \frac{1}{m}$ and y = 1 in the above eqn, we get:

$(1 + (\frac{1}{3})^{2})\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}$

Also, using eqn (1),

$8\pi\frac{10}{9})\theta' = \frac{dy}{3dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{80\pi}{3}$

Some of our appliances have a magnet in it.<br><br>yes or no

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

yes !!

Explanation:

Magnets can be found in the simplest or most complex devices you use every day. From home appliances such as the refrigerator, microwave oven and electric fan, to your company's office equipment such as computers and printers. All these devices use magnets.

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to a light bulb? the electrical energy put into the light bulb equals the light

andrew-mc [135]

<span>The law of conservation of energy applies to a light bulb because the energy is being transformed into light and the light bulb is acting as a catalyst. The light bulb itself is not a form of energy, however when in combination with the electrical outlet to the bulb the electricity heats up the metal interior forming it into light. according to the law of conservation energy cannot be created or destroyed, but instead is formed into different kinds of energy. In relation to a light bulb electrical currents are forming heat energy by heating up the metal interior, then the bulb or glass around it allows to radiate light.</span>
