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

57% Answer Correctly

convex mirror

concave mirror

convex lens

concave lens


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.


3

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

16

32

-32

0


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


4

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

57% Answer Correctly
