Given :

A microscope using ultraviolet light is used to study bacteria. If the aperture diameter is 1.5 cm.

Angular size is 0.036 arc seconds.

To Find :

The maximum wavelength that can be used.

Solution :

Converting given angle into radians :

\theta = \dfrac{0.036}{3600}\times \dfrac{\pi}{180}\\\\\theta = 1.745\times 10^{-7}\ radians

Now, we know maximum wavelength is given by :

\lambda = \dfrac{\theta \times D}{1.22}\\\\\lambda = \dfrac{1.745\times 10^{-7} \times 0.015}{1.22}\ m\\\\\lambda =2.145 \times 10^{-7}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

TRUE OR FALSE : Boyle’s law states that, as the pressure of a gas increases, the volume decreases.
sveta [45]

At first glance, this statement seems to be true.  But after about a
microsecond of further consideration, one realizes that the statement
would actually set Boyle spinning in his grave, and is false.

Boyle's law states that there is a firm relationship among the pressure,
temperature, and volume of an ideal gas, and that you can't say anything
about how any two of these quantities depend on each other, unless you
also say what's happening to the third one at the same time.

As the pressure of an ideal gas increases, the volume will decrease in
direct proportion to the volume, IF THE TEMPERATURE OF THE GAS
REMAINS CONSTANT.

If you wanted to, you could increase the pressure AND the volume of an
ideal gas both at the same time.  You would just need to warm it enough
while you squeeze it.

Is a mirrors surface transparent translucent or opaque how do you know.
Eva8 [605]
There are actually two different kinds of mirrors, and the answer is different
for each one.

-- Plain old everyday hand mirror, vanity mirror, bathroom mirror, makeup
mirror, etc.

Opaque, reflecting silver coating is on the back of the glass. 
Light from your tongue or your teeth flows to the front surface of the glass,
through the glass, out of the back surface of the glass, bounces off of the silver
coating on the back, reverses its direction, enters the back surface of the glass,
comes back through the glass again, leaves the front of the glass, goes into your
eyes, and you can see your teeth or your tongue.

Both surfaces of the glass, as well as the glass in between the surfaces, are
transparent.  The silver coating on the back is opaque.  I know that, because
when I look at the back of a mirror, I can't see any light coming through it. 
The coating on the back is also reflective ... a big part of the reason why
a mirror works.

-- Expensive mirrors used by astronomers and eye-doctors.
Known as "first surface" mirrors.

Opaque, reflecting silver coating is on the <em>front</em> of the glass. 
Light from your tongue or your teeth flows toward the front surface of the glass,
but never actually gets there.  It bounces off of the silver coating on the front of
the glass, reverses its direction, goes into your eyes, and you can see your teeth
or your tongue.

The glass is transparent, but that doesn't matter, because the light never reaches
the glass. It only goes as far as the opaque silver coating on the front, and is
reflected from there.

valkas [14]

Answer

given,

height of window = 4 m

time taken to travel = 1 s

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

u = \dfrac{s - \dfrac{1}{2}at^2}{t}

u = \dfrac{4 - \dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1^2}{1}

u = -0.905 m/s

initial velocity of ledge v = 0

now,

v² = u² + 2 a s

(-0.905)² = 0 + 2 × 9.8 ×s

s = 0.042 m
