Answer: the focal length of the CCl4-glass combination is 102.31 cm

Explanation:

Given that;

Index of refraction n1 = 1.55

carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), which has n2 = 1.46

radii of curvature for its surfaces R1 = 4.6cm and R2 = 9.20 cm

the focal length of the CCl4-glass combination = ?

we can determine the focal length using the Formula;

1/f = ( n1 - n2) ( 1/R1 - 1/R)

so we substitute in our values

1/f = ( 1.55 - 1.46 ( 1/4.6 - 1/9.20)

1/f = 0.09 × 0.1086

1/f = 0.009774

f = 1 / 0.009774

f = 102.31 cm

Therefore the focal length of the CCl4-glass combination is 102.31 cm

What is the frequency of an electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength of 300,000 km? (the speed of light is 300,000 km/s.)?
expeople1 [14]
Frequency represents the number of complete oscillations in one second. it is measured in Hertz (Hz). Electromagnetic waves are waves which do not require a material media for transmission. They travel with a speed of light.
The speed (m/s) of a wave is given by  frequency (Hz) × Wavelength (m)
Speed is 300,000 km/sec or 300,000,000 m/s and the wavelength is 300,000  km or 300,000,000 m.
Frequency = speed÷ wavelength
                 = 300000000 ÷ 300000000 = 1
Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 1Hz

Which type of nuclear reaction involves combining light elements into a heavier element, with a resultant release of great amoun
torisob [31]

Answer: Fusion

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}+_2^4\textrm{He}\rightarrow _{96}^{242}\textrm{Cm}+_0^\textrm{n}

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{36}^{91}\textrm{Kr}+_{56}^{142}\textrm{Ba}+_{0}^{1}\textrm{n}

A parallel plate capacitor is charged up by a battery. The battery is then disconnected, but the charge remains on the plates. T
larisa [96]

Answer:

a. Decreases

b. Increases

c. Remains the same

d. Increases

Explanation:

a. Capacitance is given by c= Ak€/d

where A is conductivity plate with Area

K is a constant

€ is dielectric with permittivity.

d is the distance

b. Potential difference is given by

V = Ed, since, the electric field remains the

same, the potential diterence also increases with increase in distance.

Since the capacitance depends upon the distance, and all the other factors are kept constant, the capacitance decreases.

c. Electric field remains the same because charge on the

plate remains the same.

d. since electric field remains the same and capacitance decreases, the energy increases.

E= 1/2c * Q^2
