Question
Chapter 21, Problem 1A
To determine
The connection between temperature and kinetic energy.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Temperature indicates how hot or cold is a body. Kinetic energy is possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.
Temperature and kinetic energy are related at a level of molecules that make up a body. A body with higher temperature has greater kinetic energy than a body with lower temperature. Its constituent molecules vibrate with greater energy as compared to later one.

Barrow_forwardHi can u please solvearrow_forward6. Bending a lens in OpticStudio or OSLO. In either package, create a BK7 singlet lens of 10 mm semi-diameter and with 10 mm thickness. Set the wavelength to the (default) 0.55 microns and a single on-axis field point at infinite object distance. Set the image distance to 200 mm. Make the first surface the stop insure that the lens is fully filled (that is, that the entrance beam has a radius of 10 mm). Use the lens-maker's equation to calculate initial glass curvatures assuming you want a symmetric, bi-convex lens with an effective focal length of 200 mm. Get this working and examine the RMS spot size using the "Text" tab of the Spot Diagram analysis tab (OpticStudio) or the Spd command of the text widnow (OSLO). You should find the lens is far from diffraction limited, with a spot size of more than 100 microns. Now let's optimize this lens. In OpticStudio, create a default merit function optimizing on spot size.Then insert one extra line at the top of the merit function. Assign the…arrow_forward
