Concept explainers
Three students are discussing their results from part B:
Student 1: I think that the image is closer to me than the pencil itself. The closer something is, the bigger it looks. Because the image of the pencil appears wider than the pencil itself, the image must be closer to me than the pencil.
Student 2: That sounds reasonable, but when I used parallax to determine the location of the image of the pencil, I found that it was farther from me than the pencil.
Student 3: “That doesn't make sense though. If the image were behind the pencil, then how could see the image? Wouldn't the pencil block my view of the imager?"
Do you agree or disagree with each of these students? Discuss your reasoning with your partners.

- Hi there, I'm very confused on number 6 and 7. If I could get an explanation for one or both of them it would really help out.arrow_forwardIn the overhead view of Figure 26.4, the image of the stone seen by observer 1 is at C. At which of the five points A, B, C, D, or E does observer 2 see the image? Figure 26.4 (Quick Quiz 26.1) Where does observer 2 see the image of the stone?arrow_forwardProblem 1 a. Derive an expression for the parallax angle as a function of the distance to the observed object. b. Based on this expression, is it easier to measure distances to nearby or faraway objects?arrow_forward
- Hello, can you help me with part d and part e because I don't understand is there any chance you can help me with part d and part e and also can you label them so I know which one is whicharrow_forwardWatch the video using the link at the bottom and do the following: (A) Summarize the lecture. (B) Explain the lecture. (C) Make a realization about the lecture. Link: https://youtu.be/PsI8pARVT7Aarrow_forwardReflect (-3,-4) across the x-axis. Then reflect the result across the x-axis again. What are the coordinates of the final point?arrow_forward
- Student 1: The red light has a higher wavelength (A) than the blue light. Using the equation v = f* A, that shows that the red light has a larger velocity (v) as well. Student 2: But both kinds of light should be moving at the same speed, since they are both going through the same medium, space. I think the blue light needs to have a higher frequency than the red light, to make up for the red light's higher wavelength. Do you agree or disagree with either or both of the students? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardAssuming that the field of view is flat, what is the resultant vector (yellow line) of an observer pointing his telescope starting at the Andromeda galaxy, then moving 62 units 27° S of W to Jupiter, then finally moving to Saturn 17 units 72° S of W. Express your magnitude to the nearest hundredths units, and the angle to the nearest hundredths °, following the standard cartesian plane coordinate system. (Please include a detailed and complete solution) Refer to this image:arrow_forwardBoth spotlights SPOTLIGHT#1 and SPOTLIGHT#2 are place at 20 meters from the stage. You want to produce a circle of light of 1meter diameter with the SPOTLIGHT#1 and a circle of light of 2 meters diameter with the SPOTLIGHT#2 1) Calculate the BEAM ANGLE of the SPOTLIGHT#1 and SPOTLIGHT#2 2) You want to have an illuminance of 300 lux on Mrs. Pott (under the SPOTLIGHT#1). What is the Luminous Flux (lumen) the lamp need to releases assuming homogeneous distribution of the light in the illuminated circle?arrow_forward
- You are in a car 54.9 meters away from a street sign (distance from your face to the sign). The text letters on the street sign are 15.2 cm tall. What is the visual angle of the street sign letters in arc minutes?arrow_forwardExplain TWO of the applications using correct terminology and connecting it to concepts in this unit. Option #1: A soap bubble is exposed to white light, and yet you see distinct colors. Why do you see different colors? Option #2: The star Mizar is a double star that only appears as two distinct stars when resolved by a telescope. Explain why. Option #3: Why is the sky blue? Option #4: What is the importance of Photo 51 and how was it made? Option #5: Why can we see more detail using an electron microscope vs an optical light microscope? Why don't you use them in your SBI4U0 class? Option #6: The MLB uses authentication holograms on their official merchandise. What is a hologram and how is it made? Option #7: Explain how the double slit experiment demonstrates the inseparability of the wave and particle nature of light and other quantum particles.arrow_forwardI understand part b but I can't see to figure out part a.arrow_forward
