To explain: The reason for the non functioning of the the magnifying lens in water .

Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Magnifying lens is used to get the enlarged image of an object under observation. Normally, a convex lens is used as a magnifying lens. The magnifying power of the lens is mainly governed by the difference between the refractive index of the lens and that of its surrounding medium. When light passes from one medium to another, bending will occur only when there is a difference in the refractive index of the two media.
The difference between the refractive index of water and the lens is comparatively smaller than that of between air and lens. Hence magnifying power of lens is considerably less in water than that in air. Therefore the magnifying lens is not working very well in water as it would in air.

- An ideal gas in a sealed container starts out at a pressure of 8900 N/m2 and a volume of 5.7 m3. If the gas expands to a volume of 6.3 m3 while the pressure is held constant (still at 8900 N/m2), how much work is done by the gas? Give your answer as the number of Joules.arrow_forwardThe outside temperature is 25 °C. A heat engine operates in the environment (Tc = 25 °C) at 50% efficiency. How hot does it need to get the high temperature up to in Celsius?arrow_forwardGas is compressed in a cylinder creating 31 Joules of work on the gas during the isothermal process. How much heat flows from the gas into the cylinder in Joules?arrow_forward
