A pencil aapears bent when dippes partially in a beaker contaning water why?​

i

the pencil appears to be bent when dipped in water because the reflected light ray from the immersed part of the pencil refracts when travels from water to air. however, it appears to be bent because our eyes expect light to travel in straight line

If a farsighted person has a near point that is 0.600 mm from the eye, what is the focal length f2f2f_2 of the contact lenses th
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.22mm

Explanation:

A far sighted person is a person suffering from long sightedness i.e such individual can only see far distant object clearly but not near distant object. The defect is corrected using convex lens.

Since convex lens is used, the focal (f) length of the lens is positive and the image distance (v) is also positive.

Using the lens formula,

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

Where u is the object distance = 0.35mm

v = 0.6mm

1/f = 1/0.35+1/0.6

1/f = 2.86 + 1.67

1/f = 4.53

f = 1/4.53

f = 0.22mm

The focal length of the contact lenses will be 0.22mm

Consider a situation of simple harmonic motion in which the distance between the endpoints is 2.39 m and exactly 8 cycles are co
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

1.195 m

2.8375 s

2.21433 rad/s

Explanation:

d = Distance = 2.39 m

N = Number of cycles = 8

t = Time to complete 8 cycles = 22.7 s

Radius would be equal to the distance divided by 2

r=\frac{d}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{2.39}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=1.195\ m

The radius is 1.195 m

Time period would be given by

T=\frac{t}{N}\\\Rightarrow T=\frac{22.7}{8}\\\Rightarrow T=2.8375\ s

Time period of the motion is 2.8375 s

Angular speed is given by

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{2\pi}{2.8375}\\\Rightarrow \omega=2.21433\ rad/s

The angular speed of the motion is 2.21433 rad/s

An eight-turn coil encloses an elliptical area having a major axis of 40.0 cm and a minor axis of 30.0 cm. The coil lies in the
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

9.25 x 10^-4 Nm

Explanation:

number of turns, N = 8

major axis = 40 cm

semi major axis, a = 20 cm = 0.2 m

minor axis = 30 cm

semi minor axis, b = 15 cm = 0.15 m

current, i = 6.2 A

Magnetic field, B = 1.98 x 10^-4 T

Angle between the normal and the magnetic field is 90°.

Torque is given by

τ = N i A B SinФ

Where, A be the area of the coil.

Area of ellipse, A = π ab = 3.14 x 0.20 x 0.15 = 0.0942 m²

τ = 8 x 6.20 x 0.0942 x 1.98 x 10^-4 x Sin 90°

τ = 9.25 x 10^-4 Nm

thus, the torque is 9.25 x 10^-4 Nm.
