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

A student was trying to find the relationship between mass and force. He placed four different masses on a table and pulled them
Gwar [14]

Answer:

B. There is a direct proportion between the mass and force listed in the table.

Explanation:

From the table, the values of force increases with increase in the value of mass.

if 5kg=25 N

Finding the contant of proportionality k;

k=25/5=5

thus M=k(F)...........where M is mass in kg and F is force in newton, then

M=5F

This show that for every value of mass, we get the value of Force if we multiply by a contant k=5

This means there is a direct proportionality relation between mass and force in the table.

A thin beam of light of wavelength 50 μm (in the infrared portion of the em spectrum) goes through
Brut [27]

Solution :

Given :

Wavelength of the thin beam of light, λ = 50 μm

Distance of the screen from the slit, D = 3.00 m

Width of the fringe, Δy = ±8.24 mm

Therefore, width of the slit is given by :

$d=\frac{n \lambda D}{\Delta y}$

  $=\frac{2 \times 50 \times 10^{-9} \times 3}{2 \times 8.24 \times 10^{-3}}$

  = 0.000018203 m

  = 0.0182 mm

  = 0.018 mm

The intensity of light is given by :

$I=I_0\left(\frac{\sin \beta /2}{\beta/ 2}\right)^2$   , where $\beta=\frac{2 \pi D \sin \theta}{\lambda}$

$I=I_0\left(\frac{\sin \frac{\pi d \sin \theta}{\lambda}}{\frac{\pi d \sin \theta}{\lambda}}\right)^2$

$I=I_0\left(\frac{\sin \frac{\pi d y}{D\lambda}}{\frac{\pi d y}{D\lambda}}\right)^2$

Now, $\frac{dy}{D \lambda} = \frac{8.24 \times 10^{-3}\times 0.018 \times 10^{-3}}{4 \times 50\times 10^{-9}\times 4}$

               = 0.1854

               ≈ 0.18

$I=I_0\left(\frac{\sin 0.56}{0.56}\right)^2$

  $=I_0 \times 0.81$

  = 2  x0.81

  $= 1.62 \ W/m^2$
