Answer:

d.The wavelength of light and the size of the aperture

Explanation:

<em>The resolution power of an optical system is the smallest distance between two points that the device can distinguish clearly.</em>

It has the following relationship:

$r=\frac{\lambda}{2n}$

where:

r = minimum resolvable distance

n = numerical aperture

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the light used for viewing

From above mathematical equation it is clear that:

Smaller the wavelength better the resolving power
Larger the aperture better the resolution

(Note, that smaller the value of "r" the more finer details of the image visible through the device.)

Answer:

$v' = 2.83 m/s$

Explanation:

Velocity of wave in stretched string is given by the formula

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

here we know that

T = 4 N

also we know that linear mass density is given as

$\mu = 1 kg/m$

so we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{4}{1}} = 2 m/s$

now the tension in the string is double

so the velocity is given as

$v' = \sqrt{\frac{8}{1}} = 2\sqrt2 m/s$

$v' = 2.83 m/s$

Answer: Eclipse

Explanation: A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon moves through the shadow of the Earth. This can only happen when the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun and all three are lined up in the same plane, called the ecliptic. The ecliptic is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.
