A person with a near point of 85 cm, but excellent distant vision, normally wears corrective glasses. But he loses them while tr

aveling. Fortunately, he has his old pair as a spare.
(a) If the lenses of the old pair have a power of +2.25 diopters, what is his near point (measured from his eye) when he is wearing the old glasses if they rest 2.0 cm in front of his eye?
(b) What would his near point be if his old glasses were contact lenses instead?

Answer:

a)   p = 95.66 cm, b) p = 93.13 cm

Explanation:

For this problem we use the  constructor equation

         \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distances to the object and the image, respectively

the power of the lens is

         P = 1 / f

         f = 1 / P

         f = 1 / 2.25

         f = 0.4444 m

the distance to the object is

         \frac{1}{p} = \frac{1}{f} -\frac{1}{q}

the distance to the image is

          q = 85 -2

           q = 83 cm

we must have all the magnitudes in the same units

           f = 0.4444 m = 44.44 cm

we calculate

           \frac{1}{p} = \frac{1}{44.44} - \frac{1}{83}

           1 / p = 0.010454

            p = 95.66 cm

b) if they were contact lenses

            q = 85 cm

            \frac{1}{p} = \frac{1}{44.44} - \frac{1}{85}

             1 / p = 0.107375

             p = 93.13 cm

A 3.00-kg ball swings rapidly in a complete vertical circle of radius 2.00 m by a light string that is fixed at one end. The bal
Setler [38]

Answer

given,

mass of the ball = 3 kg

swing in vertical circle with radius = 2 m

   work done by the gravity = ?          

   work done by the tension = ?            

Work done by the gravity = - m g Δh            

 Δ h = 2 + 2 = 4 m                                                                

Work done by the gravity =- 3 \times 9.8 \times 4

                                           = -117.6 J                  

work done by gravity is equal to -117.6 J            

Work done by tension will be equal to zero.        

Zero because tension is always perpendicular to velocity

work done by tension is equal to 0 J

A light wave moves from diamond (n= 2.4) into water (n= 1.33) at an angleof 24°. what angle does it have in water?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2      Snell's Law       (θ1 is the angle of incidence)

sin θ2 = n1 / n2 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 2.4 / 1.33 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 1.80 * .407 = .734

θ2 = 47.2 deg

Which of the following is true regarding the properties of light?
Ivanshal [37]

Light having a dual nature and acting like both a wave and a particle is the correct statement in this scenario.

<h3>What is Light?</h3>

This refers to the electromagnetic radiation found in the electromagnetic spectrum that is perceived by the human eye and has a dual nature. It doesn't require a medium for its propagation unlike sound.

The dual nature of light is as a result of it behaving like a photon which is why it travels in straight lines.

It also behave like a wave because it undergoes processes such as reflection, refraction etc which are common to waves.
