A geneticist looks through a microscope to determine the phenotype of a fruit fly. The microscope is set to an overall magnifica

tion of 400x with an objective lens that has a focal length of 0.60 cm. The distance between the eyepiece and objective lenses is 16 cm.
1) Find the focal length of the eyepiece lens assuming a near point of 25 cm (the closest an object can be and still be seen in focus). Do not neglect any values in your calculation. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)

Answer:

f_{e} = 1.7 cm

Explanation:

The magnification of the compound microscope is given by the product of the magnification of each lens

        M = M₀ m_{e}

        M = - L/f₀  25/f_{e}

Where f₀ and f_{e} are the focal lengths of the lens and eyepiece, respectively, all values ​​in centimeters

In this exercise they give us the magnification (M = 400X), the focal length of the lens (f₀ = 0.6 cm), the distance of the tube (L = 16 cm), let's look for the focal length of the eyepiece (f_{e})

         f_{e} = - L / f₀ 25 / M

Let's calculate

        f_{e} = - 16 / 0.6 25 / (-400)

        f_{e} = 1.67 cm

The minus sign in the magnification is because the image is inverted.

          f_{e} = 1.7 cm

Explain the causes of atmospheric pressure and why it changes with altitude?​
Verdich [7]

Answer:

As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what meteorologists and mountaineers mean by "thin air." Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude

The wavelength range of colors visible to humans ranges from 350 nm to 750 nm. light that most of us perceive as ________ is at
rodikova [14]
The sentence can be completed as follows:
"<span>The wavelength range of colors visible to humans ranges from 350 nm to 750 nm. light that most of us perceive as red is at 750 nm."

In fact, each different color is associated to a different sub-range of this range of wavelengths. Approximately, they are:
- violet: 350-450 nm
- blue: 450-495 nm
- green: 495-570 nm
- yellow: 570-590 nm
- orange: 590-620 nm
- red: 620-750 nm</span>

Hi, please help me I need help.
sukhopar [10]

Explanation:

Trains that use magnetic levitation (maglev) are suspended above the track, which greatly reduces friction from the rails and allows the trains to travel between 250 and 300 miles per hour! Magnetic levitation uses attractive and repulsive magnetic forces to suspend and control the speeds and motion of the trains.

Long hair is recessive in cats. Which of the following Punnett squares show a cross that would result in the probability that 75
luda_lava [24]
The first one, or A. You can tell because a dominant allele is capital, and a mixed allele (can't remember the technical term). or Aa, still would show dominant traits. So if short hair is dominant, due to long hair being recessive, a punnet square showing GG, Gg, Gg, and g, has 3 out of 4 showing dominant traits.

Hope I helped!
