<h3>Answer;</h3>
<u>It would make the lens stronger. </u>
<h3>Explanation;</h3>
- The focal length is the distance between the optical center or the center of the lens to the focal point of a convex or concave lens.
- The power of the convex lens is lens ability to undertake refraction or bend light. It is given as the reciprocal of focal length.
- Power of the lens = 1/ f; therefore the smaller the focal length the higher the power and the larger the focal length the lower the power.
- Thus; decreasing the focal length of a convex lens makes the lens stronger.
Answer:
187 J
Explanation:
First Law of Thermodynamics :
ΔQ = ΔW + ΔU
ΔQ : Heat. If it added to system then positive and if it is rejected by system then negative.
ΔW : Work. If it done by the system then positive and if it is done on system then negative.
ΔU : Internal Energy. If it positive then temperature of system increased and if it is negative then temperature of system decreased.
ΔQ = 79 J
ΔW = - 108 J
ΔU = ?
substituting the value in the equation:
79 = -108 + ΔU
∴ ΔU = 187 J
Given that,
Energy
