True or false! the focal point of a concave mirror is a point on the optic axis through which incident rays parallel to the axis will converge. multiple choice! what is the relationship between frequency and degree of refraction? dispersive media waves of high frequency do not refract at all while waves of low frequency do dispersive media waves of high frequency refract more than do waves of low frequency dispersive media waves of low frequency refract more than do waves of high frequency dispersive media waves of low frequency do not refract at all while waves of high frequency do multiple choice! why was roemer's measurement of the speed of light inaccurate? because man's reaction time was much slower than the speed of light because the eclipses of jupiter's were not regular enough he did not know the accurate diameter of the earth's orbit an object is placed 5.00 cm beyond the focal point of a convex lens whose focal length is 10.0 cm. if the object height is 3.0 cm, calculate the image height.

About the firs question.

The first statement is completely true. An image is attached. You can observe than a concave mirror like it's shown, the focal points is on the optic axis, and all rays converge in that point.

About the second question.

A dispersive medium refers to mediums where waves of different frequencies travel at different velocities. In addition, the relation between frequency and degree of refraction of the medium is that waves with lower frequency will bend less when passing through the dispersive medium. For example, if we pass a red light through a medium, and then we pass a violet light, we'll see the difference in the angle of refraction, the violet light will bend more than the red one.

Therefore, the answer to the second question is "dispersive media waves of high frequency refract more than waves of low frequency do".

About the third question.

The reason why Roemer's measurement of the speed of light was inaccurate is: "He did not know the accurate diameter of the Earth's orbit".

At that time, during 1668-1674, the diameter of Earth's orbit wasn't accurate, which added error of delay to his Roemer's measurement. However, he was the first scientist in deduct a finite speed of light, before him, it was known that the speed of light was infinite.

About the fourth question.

For convex lenses we have the relation between distances and highnesses:

$\frac{d_{o} }{d_{i} }=\frac{h_{o}}{h_{i}}$

We have:

$f=10.0 \ cm$

$d=5.0 \ cm$

$h_{o}=3.0 \ cm$

So, we can deduct that the object is $d_{o}=15.0 \ cm$ away from the lens. But, we need to calculate the distance of the image $d_{i}$ with this relation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{d_{o} } +\frac{1}{d_{i} }$

Replacing all values, we have:

$\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{15} +\frac{1}{d_{i}}\\\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{15} =\frac{1}{d_{i}}\\\frac{1}{d_{i}}=\frac{15-10}{150}=\frac{5}{150}\\d_{i}=\frac{150}{5}=30$

Now, we can calculate the highness of the image:

$\frac{d_{o} }{d_{i} }=\frac{h_{o}}{h_{i}}\\\frac{15}{30}=\frac{3}{h_{i}}\\h_{i}=\frac{3(30)}{15}=6$

Therefore, the image height is 6 centimetres.

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j.b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

Amerry-go-round of radius r, shown in the figure, is rotating at constant angular speed. the friction in its bearings is so small that it can be ignored. a sandbag of mass m is dropped onto the merry-go-round, at a position designated by r. the sandbag does not slip or roll upon contact with the merry-go-round. how would you rank the following different combinations of m and r on the basis of the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the sandbag "sticks" to the merry-go-round from largest to smallest. a) m = 10kg, r = 0.25r b) m = 20kg, r = 0.25r c) m = 10kg, r = 0.50r d) m = 10kg, r = 1.0r e) m = 15kg, r = 0.75r f) m = 40kg, r = 0.25r
