Answer:

R = 1.2295 10⁵  m

Explanation:

After reading your problem they give us the diameter of the lens d = 4.50 cm = 0.0450 m, therefore if we use the Rayleigh criterion for the resolution in the diffraction phenomenon, we have that the minimum separation occurs in the first minimum of diffraction of one of the bodies m = 1 coincides with the central maximum of the other body

            θ = 1.22 λ / D

where the constant 1.22 leaves the resolution in polar coordinates and D is the lens aperture

             

how angles are measured in radians

          θ = y / R

where y is the separation of the two bodies (bulbs) y = 2 m and R the distance from the bulbs to the lens

            \frac{y}{R} = 1.22 \frac{ \lambda}{D}

            R = \frac{ y \ D}{1.22 \lambda}

let's calculate

            R = \frac{ 2 \ 0.045}{ 1.22 \ 600 \ 10^{-9}}

            R = 1.2295 10⁵  m

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Part of that kinetic energy created by moving of particles in object is transformed to heat that can be measured by thermometer.

Explanation:

By moving object creates kinematic energy, that is true. In object itself small particles are moving and creating kinetic energy as well. Part of that kinetic energy created by moving of particles in object is transformed to heat that can be measured by thermometer.

Same thing is that when you run or exercise your body temperature is raising(because of moving ).

When you sit your body does not raise temperature.

A circuit has resistors R 1 = 468 Ω and R 2 = 125 Ω R1=468 Ω and R2=125 Ω , and two batteries V 1 = 12.0 V and V 2 = 3.00 V V1=1
Greeley [361]

Answer:

0.0192A

Explanation:

Since, the reading of the galvanometer is 0 A, the voltage across the resistance R will be:

Step 1

VR = V2

VR = 3.00v

Step 2

Calculating the current through the resistance R as below,

IR = V1 - V2 /R1

IR = 12 - 3 /468

IR =0.0192A

What is the difference between deviation and incidence
yKpoI14uk [10]

Explanation:

<u><em>Deviation</em><em> </em><em>:</em><em> </em></u><em> </em>

It means the difference between a expected value of a measurement or an observation vs the actual value.

<em><u>Incidence</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>:</u></em>

A straight line, ray of light, etc.., hits a surface at a point.

A house is advertised as having 1560 square feet under roof. What is the area of this house in square meters?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

1 m = 3.28 ft

1 m^2 = 10.76 ft^2

1560 ft^2 / 10.76 ft^2 / m^2 = 145 m^2
