Assume that the physics instructor would like to have normal visual acuity from 21 cm out to infinity and that his bifocals rest

This is note the complete question, the complete question is:

One of the lousy things about getting old (prepare yourself!) is that you can be both near-sighted and farsighted at once. Some original defect in the lens of your eye may cause you to only be able to focus on some objects a limited distance away (near-sighted). At the same time, as you age, the lens of your eye becomes more rigid and less able to change its shape. This will stop you from being able to focus on objects that are too close to your eye (far-sighted). Correcting both of these problems at once can be done by using bi-focals, or by placing two lenses in the same set of frames. An old physicist instructor can only focus on objects that lie at distance between 0.47 meters and 5.4 meters.

Assume that the physics instructor would like to have normal visual acuity from 21 cm out to infinity and that his bifocals rest 2.0 cm from his eye. What is the refractive power of the portion of the lense that will correct the instructors nearsightedness?

Answer:  3.04 D

Explanation:

when an object is held 21 cm away from the instructor's eyes, the spectacle lens must produce 0.47m ( the near point) away.

An image of 0.47m from the eye will be ( 47 - 2 )

i.e 45 cm from the spectacle lens since the spectacle lens is 2cm away from the eye.

Also, the image distance will become negative

gap between lense and eye = 2cm

Therefore;

image distance d₁ = - 45cm = - 0.45m

object distance  d₀ = 21 - 2 = 19cm = 0.19m

P = 1/f = 1/ d = 1/d₀ + 1/d₁ = 1/0.19 + (-1/0.45)

P = 1/f =  5.26315789 - 2.22222222

P = 1/f = 3.04093567 ≈ 3.04 D

Q 28.7: A strip 1.2 mm wide is moving at a speed of 25 cm/s through a uniform magnetic field of 5.6 T. What is the maximum Hall
Zinaida [17]

Answer:the  maximum Hall voltage across the strip= 0.00168 V.

Explanation:

The Hall Voltage is calculated using

Vh= B x v x  w

Where

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field, 5.6 T

v is the speed/  velocity of the strip, = 25 cm/s  to m/s becomes 25/100=0.25m/s

and w is the width of the strip=  1.2 mm to meters becomes 1.2 mm /1000= 0.0012m

 Solving

Vh= 5.6T x 0.25m/s x 0.0012m

=0.00168T.m²/s

=0.00168Wb/s

=0.00168V

Therefore, the  maximum Hall voltage across the strip=0.00168V

The period of a carrier wave is T=0.01 seconds. Determine the frequency and wavelength of the carrier wave. a. f=10 Hz, λ=3E8 me
makvit [3.9K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The period of the carrier wave, T = 0.01 s

Let f and \lambda are frequency and the wavelength of the wave respectively. The relationship between the time period and the frequency is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{T}

f=\dfrac{1}{0.01}

f = 100 Hz

The wavelength of a wave is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{100}

\lambda=3\times 10^6\ m

So, the  frequency and wavelength of the carrier wave are 100 Hz and 3\times 10^6\ m respectively. Hence, the correct option is (c).

The total electric flux from a cubical box 26.0 cm on a side is 1840 N m2/C. What charge is enclosed by the box?
vitfil [10]

The expression of the electric flux is

\Phi = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}

Here,

Q = Total charge enclosed in the closed surface

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity due to free space

Rearranging to find the charge,

Q = \epsilon_0 \Phi

Replacing with our values we have finally

Q = (8.85*10^{-12}F\cdot m^{-1})(1.84*10^3 N\cdot m^2/C)

Q = 1.6284*10^{-8} C (\frac{10^9nC}{1C})

Q = 0.1684nC

The charge enclosed by the box is 0.1684nC

The sign of the charge can be decided by using the direction of the flux. The charge enclosed by the cube can be calculated by using the electric flux and the permitivity of free space.
