Answer:

(a) T = 2987.6 k

(b) T = 19986.2 k

Explanation:

The temperature of a star in terms of peak wavelength can be given by Wein's Displacement Law, which is as follows:

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{\lambda_{max}}

where,

T = Radiated surface temperature

\lambda_{max} = peak wavelength

(a)

here,

\lambda_{max} = 970 nm = 9.7 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{9.7\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}

<u>T = 2987.6 k</u>

(b)

here,

\lambda_{max} = 145 nm = 1.45 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{1.45\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}

<u>T = 19986.2 k</u>

An apple is placed 20.0 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length 10.0 cm. Find the image distance and the magnification o
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Image distance of apple=-6.7 cm

Magnification of apple=0.33

Explanation:

We are given that an apple is placed 20.cm in front of a diverging lens.

Object distance=u=-20 cm

Focal length=f=-10 cm

Because focal length of diverging lens is negative.

We have to find the image distance and magnification of the apple.

Lens formula

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}

Substitute the values then we get

-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{20}

\frac{1}{v}=-\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{20}

\frac{1}{v}=\frac{-2-1}{20}=-\frac{3}{20}

v=-\frac{20}{3}=-6.7 cm

Image distance of apple=-6.7 cm

Magnification=m=\frac{v}{u}=\frac{-\frac{20}{3}}{-20}

Magnification of apple=\frac{1}{3}=0.33

Hence, the magnification of apple=0.33
