- pility: Good to go The sun is 150,000,000 km from earth; its diameter is 1,400,000 km. For a science project on solar power, a student uses a 24-cm-diameter converging mirror with a focal length of 53 cm to focus sunlight onto an object. This casts an image of the sun on the object. For the most intense heat, the image of the sun should be in focus. a. Where should the object be placed? b. What is the diameter of the image? 2 c. The intensity of the incoming sunlight is 1050 W/m². What is the total power of the light captured by the mirror? d. What is the intensity of sunlight in the projected image? Assume that all of the light captured by the mirror is focused into the image. Focus 88 E 84°F ^arrow_forwardThis questions have of multiple true & false.

Which statement correctly explains why this happens? A. Light changes the way things look because it is transparent. B. Light changes the way things look because it is opaque. C. Light changes the way things look because it can vibrate matter. D. Light changes the way things look because it bends around and bounces off matter.arrow_forwardSuppose that two stars are separated in the sky by 0.2 arcsecond. If you look at them with a telescope that has an angular resolution of 0.5 arcseconds, what will you see? A. one point of light that is the blurred image of both stars B. two distinct stars C. nothing at all D. This can't be answered without knowing the size of the telescope.arrow_forward
