Ray Optics

Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…

Converging Lens

Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…

Plano-Convex Lens

To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.

Lateral Magnification

In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…

Students have asked these similar questions

Example Two charges, one with +10 μC of charge, and another with - 7.0 μC of charge are placed in line with each other and held at a fixed distance of 0.45 m. Where can you put a 3rd charge of +5 μC, so that the net force on the 3rd charge is zero?

* Coulomb's Law Example Three charges are positioned as seen below. Charge 1 is +2.0 μC and charge 2 is +8.0μC, and charge 3 is - 6.0MC. What is the magnitude and the direction of the force on charge 2 due to charges 1 and 3? 93 kq92 F == 2 r13 = 0.090m 91 r12 = 0.12m 92 Coulomb's Constant: k = 8.99x10+9 Nm²/C² ✓
