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 practical rule is that a radioactive nuclide is essentially gone after 10 half-lives. What percentage of the original radioact

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

0.09 % of the original radioactive nucllde its left after 10 half-lives
It will take 241,100 years for 10 half-lives of plutonium-239 to pass.

Explanation:

The equation for radioactive decay its:

$N ( t) \ = \ N_0 \ e^{ \ - \frac{t}{\tau}}$ ,

where N(t) its quantity of material at time t, $N_0$ its the initial quantity of material and $\tau$ its the mean lifetime of the radioactive element.

The half-life $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ its the time at which the quantity of material its the half of the initial value, so, we can find:

$N (t_{\frac{1}{2} }) \ = \ N_0 \ e^{ \ - \frac{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\tau}} \ = \frac{N_0}{2}$

so:

$\ N_0 \ e^{ \ - \frac{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\tau}} \ = \frac{N_0}{2}$

$e^{ \ - \frac{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\tau}} \ = \frac{1}{2}$

$- \frac{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\tau}} \ = - \ ln( 2 )$

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}\ = \tau ln( 2 )$

So, after 10 half-lives, we got:

$N ( 10 \ t_{\frac{1}{2}}) \ = \ N_0 \ e^{ \ - \frac{10 \ t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\tau}}$

$N ( 10 \ t_{\frac{1}{2}}) \ = \ N_0 \ e^{ \ - \frac{10 \ \tau \ ln( 2 ) }{\tau}}$

$N ( 10 \ t_{\frac{1}{2}}) \ = \ N_0 \ e^{ \ - 10 \ \ ln( 2 ) }$

$N ( 10 \ t_{\frac{1}{2}}) \ = \ N_0 \ * \ 9.76 * 10^{-4}$

So, we got that a 0.09 % of the original radioactive nucllde its left.

Putonioum-239 has a half-life of 24,110 years. So, 10 half-life will take to pass

$10 \ * \ 24,110 \ years \ = \ 241,100 \ years$

It will take 241,100 years for 10 half-lives of plutonium-239 to pass.

Water waves that you might see at the beach move in circular or elliptical paths. What type of mechanical waves are water waves?

vazorg [7]

To find:

Which type of mechanical wave is a water wave?

Explanation:

The water wave is a combination of longitudinal and transverse waves. They are a type of wave called surface waves. The surface waves are the waves that transmit energy in the interface between two mediums.

Final answer:

Thus the correct answer is option C.

Equations E = 1 2πε0 qd z3 and E = 1 2πε0 P z3 are approximations of the magnitude of the electric field of an electric dipole,

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The ratio of $E_{app}$ and $E_{act}$ is 0.9754

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance z = 4.50 d

First equation is

$E_{act}=\dfrac{qd}{2\pi\epsilon_{0}\times z^3}$

$E_{act}=\dfrac{Pz}{2\pi\epsilon_{0}\times (z^2-\dfrac{d^2}{4})^2}$

Second equation is

$E_{app}=\dfrac{P}{2\pi\epsilon_{0}\times z^3}$

We need to calculate the ratio of $E_{act}$ and $E_{app}$

Using formula

$\dfrac{E_{app}}{E_{act}}=\dfrac{\dfrac{P}{2\pi\epsilon_{0}\times z^3}}{\dfrac{Pz}{2\pi\epsilon_{0}\times (z^2-\dfrac{d^2}{4})^2}}$

$\dfrac{E_{app}}{E_{act}}=\dfrac{(z^2-\dfrac{d^2}{4})^2}{z^3(z)}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{E_{app}}{E_{act}}=\dfrac{((4.50d)^2-\dfrac{d^2}{4})^2}{(4.50d)^3\times4.50d}$

$\dfrac{E_{app}}{E_{act}}=0.9754$

Hence, The ratio of $E_{app}$ and $E_{act}$ is 0.9754

Is it possible for one ray to be shorter in length than another?

8090 [49]

Yes, even light rays can vary in wavelength and frequency, if the length of the ray is sorter, it becomes more energetic and has a higher frequency. If you're talking about a ray tracing diagram for lenses or mirrors, the length of the ray doesn't really matter unless you're finding the path length but there are some procedures for that too. Let me know if I missed what you were asking.
