Wavelength is represented by lambda( $\lambda$ )

$\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto \lambda=\dfrac{c}{v}$

C is speed of light in air.
v is the frequency.

It has unit as meter(m)

A 4kg object has a momentum of 12 kg*m/s, what is the objects velocity?

Bezzdna [24]

Momentum = mass x velocity
12 = 4 x v | ÷ both sides by 4
12 ÷ 4 =v
v= 3 m/s

You throw a baseball straight up into the air with a speed of 24.5 m/s. How long does it take the baseball to reach its highest

galben [10]

Time=speed/acceleration
Gravitaional Acceleration=9.8 m/s^2
Speed=24.5 m/s
Time=24.5/9.8=2.5 s

An object is 30 cm in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 10 cm. Use ray tracing to determine the location of the

poizon [28]

Answer:

Inverted

Real

Explanation:

u = Object distance = 30 cm

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 10 cm

Lens Equation

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{30}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{15}\\\Rightarrow v=15\ cm$

As, the image distance is positive the image is real and forms on the other side of the lens

$m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{-15}{30}\\\Rightarrow m=-0.5$

As, the magnification is negative the image is inverted
