Why concave lens is called diverging lens

1 answer:

6 0

When a parallel beam of light passes through a convex lens, the rays become farther from one another when the come out. This process of rays is called ''to diverge''. The concave lens makes rays of light diverge, so it is called diverging lens.

How can you double the frequency of a wave if you have control over both the wavelength and the wave velocity?

sammy [17]

Answer:

Change the wavelength to half while keeping velocity constant or change the wave velocity to 2 times while keeping wavelength constant.

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be defined as the rate of change of wave speed with respect to the wavelength of the wave.

Mathematically,

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

Here, v is the velocity, lambda is the wavelength, and f is the frequency of the wave.

If the observer want to double the frequency of the wave, then he should increase the wave velocity two times and take wavelength constant for this case or either he should half the wavelength of the wave to take the velocity of the wave constant.

A cannon fires a cannonball 500.0 m downrange when set at a 45.0o angle. At what velocity does the cannonball leave the cannon?

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

v = 70 m/s

Explanation:

Range on the cannon ball is given as

$d = 500.0 m$

here the angle of the projection of the ball is given as 45 degree

now we know that if the velocity of the ball is "v" then its two components will be given as

$v_x = vcos45$

$v_y = vsin45$

so here time of flight of the motion is given as

$T = \frac{2v_y}{g}$

$T = \frac{2vsin45}{g}$

also the range is given as

$R = v_x T$

$R = (vcos45)(\frac{2vsin45}{g})$

now plug in all data in this equation

$500.0 = \frac{v^2(2sin45cos45)}{g}$

$v = 70 m/s$

Two protons are aimed directly toward each other by a cyclotron accelerator with speeds of 1200 km/s , measured relative to the

Radda [10]

Answer:

The maximum electrical force is $2.512\times10^{-2}\ N$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of cyclotron = 1200 km/s

Initially the two protons are having kinetic energy given by

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

When they come to the closest distance the total kinetic energy is converts into potential energy given by

Using conservation of energy

$mv^2=\dfrac{kq^2}{r}$

$r=\dfrac{kq^2}{mv^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$r=\dfrac{8.99\times10^{9}\times(1.6\times10^{-19})^2}{1.67\times10^{-27}\times(1200\times10^{3})^2}$

$r=9.57\times10^{-14}\ m$

We need to calculate the maximum electrical force

Using formula of force

$F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$

$F=\dfrac{8.99\times10^{9}\times(1.6\times10^{-19})^2}{(9.57\times10^{-14})^2}$

$F=2.512\times10^{-2}\ N$

Hence, The maximum electrical force is $2.512\times10^{-2}\ N$ .

Refer to Concept Simulation 4.4 for background relating to this problem. The drawing shows a large cube (mass = 28.9 kg) being a

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

smallest magnitud is P=33.3 N

Explanation:

We are analyze the situation as an external force is applied and there is a friction force. We have a problem with Newton's second law.

F = ma

As the two blocks go together they must have the same acceleration, so we can calculate this for the entire system

P = (m1 + m2) a

a = P / (m1 + m2)

In this case there is no friction force because the small block does not touch the ground.

In order to calculate the friction force, we must analyze each system component separately.

The large block on the X axis has an applied P force and as it moves feels a force from the small block. In the Y axis has the weight (W1) and the reaction to normal (N1)

For the small block on the X axis, the force it feels is the thrust of the large block, note that this is an action and reaction force between the two blocks, it is the same definition we have of the normal one, so we can call this force (N)

Y axis it has the weight (W2) down, the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement, so it is directed upwards. we write these equations

N = m2 a

fr -W2 = 0

fr = W2

The definition of friction force is

fr = μ N

Let's replace and calculate

μ (m2 a) = m2 g

μ (P / (m1 + m2)) = g

P = g /μ (m1 + m2)

Let's calculate the value of this force

P = 9.8 / 0.710 (28.9 +4.4)

P = 13.80 (33.3)

P = 33.3 N

This is the minimum friction force that prevents the block from sliding down

What absorb emitted neutrons?

Karolina [17]

Nuclear energy is released during: fission. radioactive decay. man-induced splitting of atoms. Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions. 1. slows down neutrons -> moderator. 2. absorb emitted neutrons -> control rods.
