Reflecting telescope. Reflecting telescopes tend to have larger objective (due to the use of mirrors, mirrors are a lot cheaper than lenses) and have the ability to collect more light, while refracting telescopes are limited to objective lenses with smaller diameters due to their structural limitations (chromatic abbreviation, for example). Therefore, reflecting telescopes should be better at viewing faint distant stars
When you touch an object and heat flows OUT of it, INTO your finger, you say the object feels hot.
When you touch an object and heat flows INTO it, OUT of your finger, you say the object feels cold.
If the object has the same temperature as your finger ... <em>around the mid-90s</em> ... then no heat flows in or out of your finger when you touch the object, and the object doesn't feel hot or cold.
Answer:
Behaves as a wave.
Explanation:
The dual nature of light means that light behaves as a wave. If the light consisted of small particles, the alternating light and dark bands would not have occurred.
Sometimes it behaves like a particle (called a photon), which explains how light travels in straight lines.
Answer:
f1= -350cm or -3.5m
f2= 22.1cm or 0.221m
Explanation:
A person is nearsighted when the person's far point is less than infinity. A diverging lens is normally used to correct this eye defect. A diverging lens has a negative focal length as seen in the solution attached.
Farsightedness is when a person's near point is farther than 25cm. This eye defect is corrected using a converging lens. The focal length of a converging lens is positive. This is evident in the solution attached. The near point is also referred to as the least distance of distinct vision.
Answer:
Explanation:
To solve this problem we use the Hooke's Law:
(1)
F is the Force needed to expand or compress the spring by a distance Δx.
The spring stretches 0.2cm per Newton, in other words:
1N=k*0.2cm ⇒ k=1N/0.2cm=5N/cm
The force applied is due to the weight
We replace in (1):
We solve the equation for m:
