Answer: 1.black

Explanation:

A green object, like the leaf in this problem, absorbs all colors of light except for the green color. In fact, the object is able to reflect only the green light, and this is why the object appears green to us: because this is the only color reflected by the leaf.

Therefore, if we hit the leaf with red color, it will appear black: in fact, the leaf is will absorb the red light, and there are no more colors to be reflected - therefore, the leaf will appear black (which corresponds to absence of color).

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The Magnifying power of a telescope is $M = 109.26$

Explanation:

Radius of curvature R = 5.9 m = 590 cm

focal length of objective $f_{objective}$ = $\frac{R}{2}$

⇒ $f_{objective}$ = $\frac{590}{2}$

⇒ $f_{objective}$ = 295 cm

Focal length of eyepiece $f_{eyepiece}$ = 2.7 cm

Magnifying power of a telescope is given by,

$M = \frac{f_{objective} }{f_{eyepiece} }$

$M = \frac{295}{2.7}$

$M = 109.26$

therefore the Magnifying power of a telescope is $M = 109.26$

A resistor R1 is wired to a battery, then resistor R2 is added in series. Are (a) the potential difference across R1 and (b) the

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Earlier emf of cell applied on R₁ but now emf will be distributed among R₁ and R₂

Potential difference on R₁ will become less .

b ) Current is inversely proportional to resistance of the circuit. As resistance increases , current will be less . So current through R₁ will become less.

c )

When resistance is added in series , they are added up to obtain equivalent resistance . So equivalent resistance R₁₂ will be more than R₁ OR R₂.
