To determine
To distinguish: focal point and focal plane.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Focal point is a point on the principal axis of a lens on its either side. A lens has two focal points named first and second focal points respectively.
Focal point for a converging lens or convex lens is a point on the principal axis of the lens where the light rays being incident parallel to the principal axis of a lens, converges at this point after refraction.
Focal point for a diverging lens or concave lens is a point on the principal axis of the lens where the light rays appear to diverge after being incident parallel to the principal axis of the lens.
Focal plane is any plane drawn perpendicular to the focal points of a lens. For a converging lens, the image of a light ray incident parallel to the principal axis of the lens, the image converges through focal plane. And for a diverging lens, the image of a light ray incident parallel to the principal axis of the lens, the image appears to diverge through focal plane.
Conclusion:
Hence, focal point is a point on the principal axis of the lens where the light rays converge or appear to diverge while focal plane is a perpendicular line along the focal point of a lens.

- A bobsled starts at the top of a track as human runners sprint from rest and then jump into the sled. Assume they reach 40 km/h from rest after covering a distance of 50 m over flat ice. a. How much work do they do on themselves and the sled which they are pushing given the fact that there are two men of combined mass 185 kg and the sled with a mass of 200 kg? (If you haven't seen bobsledding, watch youtube to understand better what's going on.) b. After this start, the team races down the track and descends vertically by 200 m. At the finish line the sled crosses with a speed of 55 m/s.

Imagine you have a system in which you have 54 grams of ice. You can melt this ice and then vaporize it all at 0 C. The melting and vaporization are done reversibly into a balloon held at a pressure of 0.250 bar. Here are some facts about water you may wish to know. The density of liquid water at 0 C is 1 g/cm³. The density of ice at 0 C is 0.917 g/cm³. The enthalpy of vaporization of liquid water is 2.496 kJ/gram and the enthalpy of fusion of solid water is 333.55 J/gram.arrow_forward

Assuming that AvapH and AvapS stay constant at their values at 80.09°C, calculate the value of AvapG at 75.0°C, 80.09°C, and 85.0°C. Hint: Remember that the liquid and vapor phases will be in equilibrium at the normal boiling point.arrow_forward3. The entropy of an ideal gas is S = Nkg In V. Entropy is a state function rather than a path function, and in this problem, you will show an example of the entropy change for an ideal gas being the same when you go between the same two states by two different pathways. A. Express ASV = S2 (V2) - S₁(V1), the change in entropy upon changing the volume from V₁to V2, at fixed particle number N and energy, U. B. Express ASN = S₂(N₂) - S₁ (N₁), the change in entropy upon changing the particle number from N₁ to N2, at fixed volume V and energy U. C. Write an expression for the entropy change, AS, for a two-step process (V₁, N₁) → (V2, N₁) → (V2, N₂) in which the volume changes first at fixed particle number, then the particle number changes at fixed volume. Again, assume energy is constant.arrow_forward
