Explanation Given Info: The distance between screen and object is 2.00 m , focal length of the lens is 60 cm . Explanation: Formula to calculate focal length of the lens is. 1 f = 1 q + 1 p Here, q is the distance of the image or screen from the lens p is the distance of the object from the lens. According to question, distance between screen and object is 2.0 m that is p + q = 2 m p = ( 2 m 100 cm 1 m − q ) = ( 200 cm − q ) (1) Substitute 2 − q for p and 60.0 cm for f in above equation. 1 60.0 cm = 1 q + 1 ( 2 − q ) m 1 60.0 cm = 1 q + 1 ( 2 − q ) m 100 cm 1 m 0.0166667 = 100 ( 2 − q ) + q 100 q ( 2 − q ) ( 3

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…

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…

Certain types of particle detectors can be used to reconstruct the tracks left by unstable, fast-moving sub-atomic particles. Assume that a track with a length of L=2.97 mm in the laboratory frame of reference has been observed. Further assume that you determined from other detector data that the particle moved at a speed of L=0.910 ⚫ c, also in the laboratory frame of reference. c denotes the speed of light in vacuum. What proper lifetime would you determine for this particle from the data given? T= 4.0 S

While cruising down University Boulevard you are stopped by a cop who states that you ran a red traffic light. Because you don't want to pay the stiff fine, you are attempting a physics defense. You claim that due to the relativistic Doppler effect, the red color of the light λ=616 nm appeared green '=531 nm to you. The cop makes a quick calculation of his own and rejects your defense. How fast, in terms of your speed u divided by the speed of light in vacuum c, would you have to drive to justify your claim? Note that the speed u is taken to be a positive quantity. U 4.0 C
