    Focal Length Problem: -30cm Converging/Diverging Lens

    I'm getting 30 cm now, but this answer is supposed to be negative. Why would my answer come out positive?

    Focal Length Problem: -30cm Converging/Diverging Lens

    I thought it had something to do with that, but I honestly don't know where to change the sign. Is R2 supposed to be -7.5 because it is convex?

    Polarizing Filters Fraction of Light Passing Through

    Oh okay I got it, so I was using the wrong equation for the first step. Thanks!

    Polarizing Filters Fraction of Light Passing Through

    The orientation of the light is changed by 25 degrees, correct?

    Polarizing Filters Fraction of Light Passing Through

    Okay so I tried solving that equation each time for every filter. I started with simply cos(25)^2, Then used the answer as I0 for the next filter (So .82139*Cos(25)^2) etc.. I am still getting the wrong answer. Does the angle itself change between each filter? My interpretation is that the angle...

    Focal Length Problem: -30cm Converging/Diverging Lens

    Homework Statement A lens made of glass has one concave side with a radius of curvature of 5 cm, and one convex side with a raduis of curvature of 7.5 cm. What is the focal length of the lens? Is this a converging or diverging lens? Homework Equations nglass=1.5 nair=1.0...

    Polarizing Filters Fraction of Light Passing Through

    Homework Statement Unpolarized light passes through 4 polarizing filters. The polarizing direction of each filter is offset by 25 degrees from the filter in front of it. Find the fraction of light that gets through all four filters. Homework Equations I=I0Cos2θ The Attempt at a Solution From...

    What is the value of the inductor in this capacitor and inductor problem?

    Sorry I know C is for capacitance I don't know why I did that, I still can't figure this out though. What term is supposed to be squared in this equation? It does give me the correct answer, it is supposed to be 256 μH.

    What is the value of the inductor in this capacitor and inductor problem?

    Homework Statement A capacitor is charged with a 12 volt battery until there is 3 μc of charge on the capacitor. The capacitor is then connected to an inductor. The angular frequency of the resulting oscillation is 1.25 x 105 rad/s. What is the value of the inductor? Homework Equations LC: ω =...

    Period of a Proton's Orbit arount magnetic field

    FB=qv x B= mv2/r Is that right? I would still need the radius to be able to solve this.

    Period of a Proton's Orbit arount magnetic field

    I honestly thought it was just the magnetic force, we've never done anything where I needed to know anything other than the magnetic field, velocity, and charge. Does gravity act as a force on a proton? And then you said it is like a centripetal force.

    Period of a Proton's Orbit arount magnetic field

    Okay so are you saying that I need to solve for the centripetal force, and that will be the force that I use in my equation 2? I'm still confused though, because the centripetal force formula requires me to know the velocity and the radius. I see why it would be a centripetal force, I just don't...
