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…

Textbook Question

Chapter 36, Problem 36.45E

Observing Jupiter. You are asked to design a space telescope for earth orbit. When Jupiter is 5.93 × 10⁸ km away (its closest approach to the earth), the telescope is to resolve, by Rayleigh’s criterion, features on Jupiter that are 250 km apart. What minimum-diameter mirror is required? Assume a wavelength of 500 nm.

You have a new internship, where you are helping to design a new freight yard for the train station in your city. There will be a number of dead-end sidings where single cars can be stored until they are needed. To keep the cars from running off the tracks at the end of the siding, you have designed a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in the figure below. When a car moves to the right in the figure and strikes the springs, they exert a force to the left on the car to slow it down. Total force (N) 2000 1500 1000 500 Distance (cm) 10 20 30 40 50 60 i Both springs are described by Hooke's law and have spring constants k₁ = 1,900 N/m and k₂ = 2,700 N/m. After the first spring compresses by a distance of d = 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force to the left on the car in the figure. When the spring with spring constant k₂ compresses by 50.0 cm, the coils of both springs are pressed together, so that the springs can no longer compress. A typical…

A spring is attached to an inclined plane as shown in the figure. A block of mass m = 2.71 kg is placed on the incline at a distance d = 0.285 m along the incline from the end of the spring. The block is given a quick shove and moves down the incline with an initial speed v = incline angle is 0 = 20.0°, the spring constant is k = 505 N/m, and we can assume the surface is frictionless. By what distance (in m) is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest? m k www m 0.750 m/s. The

A block of mass m = 2.50 kg situated on an incline at an angle of k=100 N/m www Ө m = 50.0° is connected to a spring of negligible mass having a spring constant of 100 N/m (Fig. P8.54). The pulley and incline are frictionless. The block is released from rest with the spring initially unstretched. (a) How far does it move down the frictionless incline before coming to rest? m (b) What is its acceleration at its lowest point? Magnitude m/s2 Direction O up the incline down the incline
