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…

Estimate the diameter of the Moon. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon passes in front of the Sun so that during “totality” their apparent sizes match and the Moon blocks light from the Sun shining on the Earth. a) What do you predict the size of the Moon would be if you were to use a pinhole in an aluminum holder, meter stick, and white paper screen to project light from the full Moon through a pinhole onto a screen that is one meter away from the pinhole? b) Describe in detail how you would use this apparatus and your knowledge of pinhole phenomena to estimate the diameter of the Moon. Assume that the distance between the Earth and the Moon is 250,000 miles.

The following data was collected for a friction experiment in which an object was observed moving at constant speed over a surface. Graph the Applied Force versus the Normal Force and determine the coefficient of friction. Is this value the coefficient of kinetic friction or the coefficient of static friction?

1. Measurements and Linear Regression 1.1 Introduction The objective of this lab assignment is to represent measurement data in graphical form in order to illustrate experimental data and uncertainty visually. It is often convenient to represent experimental data graphically, not only for reporting results but also to compute or measure several physical parameters. For example, consider two physical quantities represented by x and y that are linearly related according to the algebraic relationship, y=mx+b, (1.1) where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. In order to assess the linearity between y and x, it is convenient to plot these quantities in a y versus x graph, as shown in Figure 1.1. Datapoints Line of regression Figure 1.1: Best fit line example. Once the data points are plotted, it is necessary to draw a "best fit line" or "regression line" that describes the data. A best fit line is a straight line that is the best approximation of the given set of data, and…
