Engineering Drawing

Technical drawing has been around since ancient times. As in the ancient Renaissance, complicated drawings were created, including Leonardo da Vinci's drawing. Modern engineering drawing, including its specific orthographic projection with scale conventions, began in Europe (France) during the early stages of Industrialization. L.T. C. Rolt also made some of Marc's drawings for its block-making machinery (in 1799) that also may have contributed significantly to British engineering technology. Since he learned the art of presenting three-dimensional(3D) items in a two-dimensional(2D) plane, as we now term mechanical drawing.

Topic: WAVE SUPERPOSITION Sound waves transfers energy to the surrounding molecules causing them to vibrate. It can penetrate as long as there is a medium. But when you try to record a video or presentation, we would not want to have unnecessary background noise. One example is a recording studio where singers usually utilize to make a clear recording of their song. How does a recording studio work?

You have a telescope that consists of two converging lenses which are placed a distance apart which is approximately equal to the sum of their focal lengths. Focal length 1 is appriximatly 5.5cm and focal length 2 is approximatly 25cm. The lens closest to the onject should have a resonably long focal length and the eyepiece lens should have a relatively short focal length to get good magnification. a. draw a scale ray diagram for a telescope using one long and one short focal length lens. b. Estimate how much larger your distance object appears through your telescope and then calculate the angular magnification.
