Night vision cameras

Explanation:

One of the most common use of infrared waves is in night vision cameras. Infrared waves are electromagnetic radiations whose wavelengths are longer than those of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum

They are used:

In night vision cameras
Thermal imaging whereby the radiation is used to monitor temperature differences between bodies.
It can also be used as source of heating.

If the half-life of tritium (hydrogen-3) is 12.3 years, how much of

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

0.0000076 grams

Explanation:

We're given the half life of Tritium to be 12.3 years. In order to find out the amount of substabce remaining:

Let's first find how many 'half lives' are in 250 years.

$n = \frac{250}{12.3} = 20.325$

Now what is half life? It means the time taken for a given quantity of an element to lose half it's mass.

So in 12.3 years we can find that The amount of 250 g of Tritium will be 250/2 = 125 g. In 24.6 years we'll have 125/2 = 62.5 g

So now we can devise a formula:

$m = \frac{original \: amount}{ {2}^{n} }$

Where m is the remaining amount and n is th number of half lives in the time given.

Using this formula we can calculate:

$m = \frac{10}{ {2}^{20.325} }$

Doing this calculation we get:

$m = 0.0000076 \: g$

As we can see a very small value remains.

The focal length of a lens is inversely proportional to the quantity (n-1), where n is the index of refraction of the lens of th

Ainat [17]

Answer:

46.22 cm

Explanation:

The focal refraction, fr is given by

$fr = \frac {c}{(1.572 -1)} = \frac {c}{0 .572}$

The focal red light is given by

$fv = \frac {c}{(1.605 - 1)} = \frac {c}{0.605}$

$\frac {fv}{fr} = \frac {0.572}{0 .605} = 0.945455$

$\frac {1}{fr} = \frac{1}{image} + \frac {1}{object}$ and making fr the subject we obtain

$fr = \frac {image * object}{(image + object)} = \frac {24.00 * 55} {(24.0 + 55)} = 16.70886 cm$

fv = 0.945455* 16.70886 cm = 15.79747 cm

$image = \frac {object * f} {(object - f)} = \frac {15.79747 * 24.0}{(24.0 - 15.79747)} = 46.22222 cm$

Therefore, violet image is approximately 46.22 cm

How do convection currents influence plate tectonics

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer and Explanation:

Convection happens when particles with a great deal of warmth vitality in a fluid or gas move and replace particles with less warmth vitality.

Lighter (less thick), warm material ascents while heavier (progressively thick) cool material sinks. It is this development that makes course examples known as convection flows in the environment, in water, and in the mantle of Earth.

Huge amount of pressure and heat inside the earth causes the hot magma to stream in convection ebbs and flows. These flows cause the development of the structural plates that make up the world's outside.

Plates at our planet's surface move in view of the extreme warmth in the Earth's center that causes liquid shake in the mantle layer to move.
It moves in an example considered a convection cell that structures when warm material ascents, cools, and in the long run sink down. As the chilled material sinks off, it is warmed and rises once more.

A body travels 30m in 5s, 45m in 7s and then 65m in the last 5s. Find the average speed of the body

JulijaS [17]

We can find the average speed of the body by finding the total distance covered, and then dividing it by the total time of the motion.

The total distance covered is:
$S=30 m + 45m+65m=140 m$

while the total time of the motion is
$t=5 s+7s+5 s=17 s$

So, the average speed of the body is:
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{140 m}{17 s}=8.24 m/s$

Can someone explain to me how to answer this problem in simple ways? (I get really confused when it comes to math) A communicati

pishuonlain [190]

When I find a problem like this, I find it helpful to think about what I know and what equation will help me.

The question tells us the frequency of the wave $(5 \times 10^{-9})$ Hz. We want to work out the wavelength. What equation links these two quantities?

Wave Speed = Frequency x Wavelength
(we know all electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum)

$(3 \times 10^8) = (5 \times 10^{-9}) \times \lambda$
and then divide by $(5 \times 10^{-9})$ to get the wavelength.

Wavelength = $6 \times 10^{16}$ m<u />
