    Why Is the Calculated Power for the Lightbulbs Incorrect?

    Homework Statement Three 70.0 W, 120 V lightbulbs are connected across a V = 120 V power source, as shown in Figure P18.48. (Assume that the resistance of each bulb is constant even though, in reality, the resistance increases markedly with current.)...

    What is the maximum magnification achievable with a simple lens?

    Homework Statement A boy scout starts a fire by using a lens from his eyeglasses to focus sunlight on kindling 5.2 cm from the lens. The boy scout has a near point of 15.2 cm. When the lens is used as a simple magnifier, give values for the following conditions. (Hint: Assume a "normal"...

    How Does a Boy Scout Use Eyeglasses to Start a Fire?

    So i used the same equation except for Mmax I used 1+ 15.2/7.346= 3.068 but still the answere is not right?

    How far is the lens from the slide if the image is virtual?

    I plugged in p= 13.2 +2.1 =15.3 but the answer is wrong?

    How far is the lens from the slide if the image is virtual?

    I used 1/(13.2+x) + 1/x = 1/2.44 for those answers I just tried it the way I believe your talking about which is 1/-(13.2+x) +1/x = 1/2.44 and I got -2.1 and -15.3 I am confused though

    How far is the lens from the slide if the image is virtual?

    Okay so I got this diagram f----------p-------q----lens distance from the lens to f =2.44cm distance from lens to p= 13.2+s distance from lens to q = s then solving for s I get s= 2.88 cm or s= -11.2cm Since q is supposed to be negative for virtual images the answer is 11.2 cm?

    How far is the lens from the slide if the image is virtual?

    Here is the whole question. I got all of a and the second part of b (a) How far is the lens from the slide if the image is real? (Enter 'none' in the second box if there is only one answer.) nearer possible distance = correct check mark cm further possible distance = correct check mark cm (b)...
