Asterism, a pattern of stars that is not a constellation. An asterism can be part of a constellation, such as the Big Dipper, which is in the constellation Ursa Major, and can even span across constellations, such as the Summer Triangle, which is formed by the three bright stars Deneb, Altair, and Vega.

The pupil of the human eye can vary in diameter from 2.00 mm in bright light to 8.00 mm in dim light. The eye has a focal length

Zarrin [17]

The indicated data are of clear understanding for the development of Airy's theory. In optics this phenomenon is described as an optical phenomenon in which The Light, due to its undulatory nature, tends to diffract when it passes through a circular opening.

The formula used for the radius of the Airy disk is given by,

$y_r=1.22\frac{\lambda f}{d}$

Where,

$y_r =$ Range of the radius

$\lambda =$ wavelength

f= focal length

Our values are given by,

State 1:

$d=2.00mm = 2*10^{-3}m$

$f= 25mm = 25*10^{-3}m$

$\lambda = 750nm = 750*10^{-9}m$

State 2:

$d=8.00mm = 8*10^{-3}m$

$f= 25mm = 25*10^{-3}m$

$\lambda = 390nm = 390*10^{-9}$

Replacing in the first equation we have:

$y_{r1} = 1.22\frac{(750*10^{-9})(25*10^{-3})}{2*10^{-3}}$

$y_{r1}= 11.4\mu m$

And also for,

$y_{r2} =1.22\frac{(390*10^{-9})(25*10^{-3})}{8*10^{-3}}$

$y_{r2} = 1.49\mu m$

Therefor, the airy disk radius ranges from $1.49\mu m$ to $11.4\mu m$

Rank the tensions in the ropes, t1, t2, and t3, from smallest to largest, when the boxes are in motion and there is no friction

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

<span>AS T1,T2,T3 are the tensions in the ropes,assuming that there are Three blocks of mass 3m, 2m, and m.T3 is the string between 3m and 2m,T2 is the string between 2m and m ,T1 is the string attached to m thus T1 pulls the whole set of blocks along, so it must be the largest. T2 pulls the last two masses, but T3 only pulls the last mass, so T3 < T2 < T1.</span>

You are leaving for a party at your cousin’s house in a city that is 150 km away. You will travel at an average rate of 50 km/hr

choli [55]

3 hours, because for every 50 km equals one hour 150 divided into 50 equals 3

lawyer [7]

The bigger the object the greater the gravitational pull, so the farther away the big object is its gravitational force begins to decrease. Refer to the picture for more explanation.
