What is achromatic aberration

Physics
1 answer:
KonstantinChe [14]3 years ago
8 0
In optics, chromatic aberration (CA, also called achromatism, chromatic distortion, and spherochromatism) is an effect resulting from dispersion in which there is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same convergence point. It occurs because lenses have different refractive indices for different wavelengths of light.

What property or properties of a wave determine it's speed?
mash [69]
The properties of the wave don't determine its speed. The properties of the medium do. You can FIND the speed by measuring the wave's frequency and wavelength.

A boat travels at 30 mph for a huge, solid cliff that is about 3,000 meters away. When the horn on the boat makes a toot, you ca
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:The frequency of the echo is slightly decreased

Explanation:

Given

speed of boat =30\ mph

cliff is 3000\ m away

when boat is still , suppose t is the time taken by the echo to reach observer on the boat

But as soon as boat starts moving  the distance between cliff and boat decreasing and time for echo to reach observer also decreases

and we know time \propto \frac{1}{frequency}

therefore frequency of the echo slightly decreased.

A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 21.0 m/sm/s from the edge of the roof of a 21.0-mm-tall building. The r
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

A.

Given:

Vo = 21 m/s

Vf = 0 m/s

Using equation of Motion,

Vf^2 = Vo^2 - 2aS

S = (21^2)/2 × 9.8

= 22.5 m.

B.

Given:

S = 22.5 + 21 mm

= 22.521 m

Vo = 0 m/s

Using the equation of motion,

S = Vo × t + 1/2 × a × t^2

22.521 = 0 + 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

t^2 = (2 × 22.521)/9.8

= 4.6

t = 2.14 s

What is the spring potential energy of a spring that is stretched 15 cm if its spring constant is 350 n/m?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Spring potential energy = 7.875Nm

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Extension, e = 15cm to meters = 15/100 = 0.15m

Spring constant, k = 350n/m

To find the force;

Force = spring constant * extension

Force = 350 * 0.15

Force = 52.5 Newton.

Now to find the spring potential energy we would use the formula below;

Spring potential energy = force * extension

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Spring potential energy = 52.5 * 0.15

<em>Spring potential energy = 7.875Nm</em>

A mountain climber ascends a mountain to its peak. The peak is 12,470 ft above sea level. The climber then descends 80 ft to mee
o-na [289]
The answer is 12,390 ft.

At first, a climber is at 12,470 <span>ft above sea level. But then, he goes down 80 ft to meet a fellow climber. So, this simply needs to be distracted:
12,470 ft - 80 ft = 12,390 ft
This is the elevation </span>above sea level at which he meet the other climber.
