Chromatic aberration in lenses is a result of which wave property of light?

Physics
1 answer:
Brilliant_brown [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Dispersion

Explanation:

Chromatic aberration refers to the failure of a lenses to focus all the wavelengths or colours in white light at the same point. This is due to dispersion of light in glass. The refractive index of the lenses elements varies with different wavelengths of light. The different colours of white light will travel at different speeds through the lens hence they cannot all be focused at the same point. Dispersion results from the refraction of the various wavelengths of light to varying degrees.

Two bodies fall freely from different heights and reach the ground simultaneously. The time of descent for the first body is 1s
jok3333 [9.3K]
The initial height of the first body is given by:
h_1 =  \frac{1}{2}gt^2
where
g is the gravitational acceleration
t is the time it takes for the body to reach the ground
Substituting t=1 s, we find
h_1 =  \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(1 s)^2=4.9 m

The second body takes takes t=2 s to reach the ground, so it was located at an initial height of
h_2 =  \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2 s)^2=19.6 m

The second body started its fall 1 second before the first body, therefore when the second body started its fall, the first body was located at its initial height, i.e. at 4.9 m from the ground.

an electron is moving with a speed of 0.85c in a direction opposite to that of photon. calculate the relative velocity of the el
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

1.85c

Explanation:

a photon moves at c, the electron is moving at 0.85c, and since they are moving in opposing directions, the relative speed would be 1.85c

Longitudinal sound waves cannot propagate through
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

A vacuum

Explanation:

Sound waves are examples of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves which are transmitted through the vibrations of the particles in a medium.

For example, sound waves in air consist of oscillations of the air particles, which vibrate back and forth (longitudinal wave) along the direction of propagation of the wave itself.

Given this definition of mechanical wave, we see that such a wave cannot propagate if there is no medium, because there are no particles that would oscillate. Therefore, among the choices given, the following one:

a vacuum

represent the only situation in which a sound wave cannot propagate through: in fact, there are no particles in a vacuum, so the oscillations cannot occur. In all other cases, instead, sound waves can propagate.
