Answer:

Explanation:

Bimetallic strips are used in thermostats for measuring and controlling temperature. The strip is connected to a switch and as the temperature changes, the strip flexes and opens or closes a contact. They are also used in ovens for measuring temperature. An electromechanical thermostat typically contains either a bi-metal coil or a metal strip. When the temperature changes, this coil or strip will move, causing a vial containing mercury to tip to one side. The mercury flows to one end of the vial, signaling that the heating or cooling needs to be turned on.

A lighthouse is located on a small island, 3 km away from the nearest point on a straight shoreline, and its light makes four re
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The beam of light is moving at the peed of:

\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{80\pi}{3} km/min

Given:

Distance from the isalnd, d = 3 km

No. of revolutions per minute, n = 4

Solution:

Angular velocity, \omega = \frac{d\theta'}{dt} = 2\pi n = 2\pi \times 4 = 8\pi    (1)

Now, in the right angle in the given fig.:

tan\theta' = \frac{y}{3}

Now, differentiating both the sides w.r.t t:

\frac{dtan\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}

Applying chain rule:

\frac{dtan\theta'}{d\theta'}.\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}

sec^{2}\theta'\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt} = (1 + tan^{2}\theta')\frac{d\theta'}{dt}

Now, using tan\theta = \frac{1}{m} and y = 1 in the above eqn, we get:

(1 + (\frac{1}{3})^{2})\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}

Also, using eqn (1),

8\pi\frac{10}{9})\theta' = \frac{dy}{3dt}

\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{80\pi}{3}

Some lenses are shaped with one flat side and one spherically-shaped side. This shape is designed to focus parallel light rays o
Komok [63]

Answer:

Some lenses are used to focus light to a pre-defined point based on the amount of curvature of their surfaces.

In a piano design convex, some surfaces are flat while others has positive lenses (biconvex)

Explanation:

Solution

These lenses are applied to pay attention to light in a  point pre-defined  based on the amount of curvature of their surfaces.

For that of a plano-convex design, one surface has a positive curve and for biconvex lenses, both surfaces are positively curved while the other  remains flat.

when used practically, plano-convex lenses are most commonly used where the object being imaged is far apart from lens.
