2

Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct nearsightedness?

56% Answer Correctly

concave lens

convex lens

concave mirror

convex mirror


Solution

Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.

87% Answer Correctly

nervous

50% Answer Correctly

protons

atomic mass units

electrons

electron shells


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
