    Lens Refraction Problems: Help with Calculating Image Distance and Magnification

    I'm really not sure how to figure these 3 problems out. Can someone please help me. Thanks. 1) A converging lens has a focal length of 85 cm. A 14-cm-tall object is located 121 cm in front of this lens. (a) What is the image distance? (b) What is the image height? Be sure to include the...

    Troubleshooting Refraction: Common Mistakes in Solving Physics Problems

    Ok, here's what I did for problem 3. I thought this answer was correct but it isn't. What did I do wrong? sin 30 deg(1.65)=sin theta g (1.52) sin -1[sin 30 deg(1.65)/(1.52) = theta g = 32.87 deg

    Troubleshooting Refraction: Common Mistakes in Solving Physics Problems

    Hmmm here's what I've done: 3.00x10^8/2.45x10^7=12.244 but the program is saying the answer is incorrect. What did I do wrong?

    Troubleshooting Refraction: Common Mistakes in Solving Physics Problems

    I'm reviewing for a final in my physics class and was wondering if someone could help me with the problems I got wrong (maybe show the equation and solution or something). Thanks! 1) Light has a wavelength of 521.5 nm and a frequency of 4.690 x 1014 Hz when traveling through a certain...

    Solve Reflection Equation: Find Height of Shortest Mirror for Viewing Full Image

    I have a homework problem that I'm not sure how to figure out. What equation should I use for this? A person whose eyes are 1.8 m above the floor stands in front of a plane mirror. The top of her head is 0.12 m above her eyes. What is the height of the shortest mirror in which she can see...

    Series and Parallel Circuit Problem

    I have a problem that I'm working on, not sure what equation to use for this: The current in a 54 ohm resistor is 0.13 A. This resistor is in series with a 23 ohm resistor, and the series combination is connected across a battery. What is the battery voltage?

    Defibrillator current physics problem

    Ok, not sure what to do with part b. P=E/T so wouldn't that be .01? Also, how do I convert amps to volts?

    Defibrillator current physics problem

    I have two physics problems that I'm not sure how to do, can someone help me? 1) A defibrillator is used during a heart attack to restore the heart to its normal beating pattern. A defibrillator passes 16 A of current through the torso of a person in 1.6 ms. (a) How much charge moves during...

    Magnetic Fields and electron beam

    I guess I completely overlooked that. I think I've spent too much time on this prob. Thanks for your help though! Also, quick question regarding the second problem. I know I should use the equation a=F/mp. How do I solve for F since it's in Joules?
