Focal length Graph optics problem

Mar 12, 2024

Homework Statement: Using the di v. M graph, how would you find the focal length? The slope is 11.24. The y intercept is 8.753.

Relevant Equations: 1/di + 1/do = 1/f
M = di/do
di = f (1+ di/do)

I tried di= f +fM, but that would mean slope and y int is the same when it’s not.

If you rearrange your equation to f = di/(1+M) that might be easier to solve since your graph is di vs. M.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
