Welcome to pf.
The guidelines when you posted this said you had to make an attemopt at an answer before we can help.

a). 330 Hz

b). 332 Hz

c). 334 Hz

d). 336 Hz

I would be happy to assist you with your questions about optics and wave interactions. Optics is the study of light and its behavior, while wave interactions refer to how waves interact with each other and with their surroundings.

1). For the first question, we can use the thin lens equation to determine the image distance. Plugging in the given values, we get:

1/f = 1/di + 1/do

Where f is the focal length, di is the image distance, and do is the object distance. Rearranging the equation to solve for di, we get:

di = 1 / (1/f - 1/do)

Plugging in the values, we get di = 6 cm. This means that the image will form 6 cm to the right of the lens.

b). The image formed by a convex lens is a real, inverted image.

2). For the second question, we can use the magnification equation to determine the magnification of the image. The equation is:

m = -di / do

Plugging in the values, we get m = -0.3. This means that the image is 0.3 times the size of the object.

To determine the height of the image, we can use the height equation:

hi = -m * ho

Plugging in the values, we get hi = -4.5 cm. This means that the image will be 4.5 cm tall.

3). The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3.0 x 10^8 m/s. To determine the speed of light in a substance with an index of refraction of 2.0, we can use the equation:

v = c / n

Where v is the speed of light in the substance, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, and n is the index of refraction. Plugging in the values, we get v = 1.5 x 10^8 m/s.

4). The critical angle is the angle at which light is completely internally reflected within a substance. To determine the critical angle, we can use the equation:

sin θc = 1 / n

Where θc is the critical angle and n is the index of
