A physicist's left eye is myopic (i.e., nearsighted). This eye can see clearly only out to a distance of 35 cm.Find the focal le

ngth and the power of a lens that will correct this myopia when worn 2.0 cm in front of the eye.

Answer:

Explanation:

To get the focal length, we will use the lens formula;

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

f is the focal length

u is the object distance

v is the image distance

Given

since the physicist's left eye is myopic, it will be corrected using concave lens and the image distance is negative.

u = 35cm

v = -2.0

1/f = 1/35-1/2

1/f = 2-35/70

1/f = -33/70

f = -70/33

f = -2.12 cm

f = -0.0212m

Power of a lend is the reciprocal of its focal length

Power of the lens = 1/f

P = 1/-0.0212

P = -47.17dioptres

The power of the lens is -47.17D

How far will a car travel in 30 min at 40 m/s? (kilometres)
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

72km

Explanation:

30 mins --> 30 x 60 s = 1800 s

Distance --> Speed x Time

= 40m/s x 1800s

= 72 000 m

= 72 km (1km is 1000m)

Why are red stars cooler than blue stars?
asambeis [7]
OK both stars are burning and as they burn they emit electromagnetic radiation (light) and as we move in the light spectrum red comes before blue, so the star that looks red is cooler because as the temperature decreases the colour decreases

What is rectilinear propagation of light?​
nignag [31]

Answer:

Rectilinear propagation describes the tendency of electromagnetic waves to travel in a straight line. Light does not deviate when travelling through a homogeneous medium, which has the same refractive index throughout; otherwise, light suffers refraction.
