Answer:

Absence of light causes shadow

Explanation:

The shadow is of the black colour because it is formed by the white light from the sun. Black is the opposite colour of white. In case you use different colour of light to cast a shadow you will get a shadow of opposite colour of light used to cast shadow.

Where is the near point of an eye for which a contact lens with a power of +2.55 diopters is prescribed?Where is the far point o

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(a). The eye's near point is 68.98 cm from the eye.

(b). The eye's far point is 33.33 cm from the eye.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power = 2.55 D

Object distance = 25 cm for near point

Object distance = ∞ for far point

Suppose where is the far point of an eye for which a contact lens with a power of -3.00 D is prescribed for distant vision?

(a) We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of power

$f =\dfrac{1}{P}$

Put the value into the formula

$f=\dfrac{100}{2.55}$

$f=39.21\ cm$

We need to calculate the image distance

Using formula of lens

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{39.21}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{-25}$

$\dfrac{1}{39.21}-\dfrac{1}{25}=\dfrac{1}{v}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=-\dfrac{1421}{98025}$

$v=-68.98\ cm$

The eye's near point is 68.98 cm from the eye.

(b). We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of power

$f =\dfrac{1}{P}$

Put the value into the formula

$f=-\dfrac{100}{3.00}$

$f=-33.33\ cm$

We need to calculate the image distance

Using formula of lens

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{-33.33}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{\infty}$

$-\dfrac{1}{33.33}+\dfrac{1}{\infty}=\dfrac{1}{v}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=-\dfrac{1}{33.33}$

$v=-33.33\ cm$

The eye's far point is 33.33 cm from the eye.

Hence, (a). The eye's near point is 68.98 cm from the eye.

(b). The eye's far point is 33.33 cm from the eye.

monochromatic light from a distant source is incident on a slit 0.75 mm wide. on screen 2 m away, the distance from the central

hjlf

Displacement from the center line for minimum intensity is 1.35 mm , width of the slit is 0.75 so Wavelength of the light is 506.25.

<h3>How to find Wavelength of the light?</h3>

When a wave is bent by an obstruction whose dimensions are similar to the wavelength, diffraction is observed. We can disregard the effects of extremes because the Fraunhofer diffraction is the most straightforward scenario and the obstacle is a long, narrow slit.

This is a straightforward situation in which we can apply the

Fraunhofer single slit diffraction equation:

y = mλD/a

Where:

y = Displacement from the center line for minimum intensity = 1.35 mm

λ = wavelength of the light.

D = distance

a = width of the slit = 0.75

m = order number = 1

Solving for λ

λ = y + a/ mD

Changing the information that the issue has provided:

λ = 1.35 * 10^-3 + 0.75 * 10^-3 / 1*2

=5.0625 *10^-7 = 506.25

Wavelength of the light 506.25.

A Man Moved first a Distance of 1000 m in 25 second and 2.5 km in 50 second along a in straight line?

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Average speed = 46.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the time taken in covering first 1000 m = 25 seconds.

The time taken in covering next 2.5 km = 50 seconds.

Total distance covered = 1000 m + 2500 m = 3500 m

Total time taken = 25+50=75 seconds

Average speed = Total distance covered / total time taken

= 3500/75 = 46.67 m/s
