The focal length of the diverging lens with the given parameters is;

f = 11.5 cm

In ray diagrams in lenses, some basic rules are followed such as;

- The incident rays that are parallel on the lens must form the image at the focus of lens on an opposite side.

- The rays that originate from the focus of the lens will pass in parallel lines after there has been refraction through the lens.

From the rules above, we can infer that the rays passing through the converging lens will become parallel rays after undergoing refraction on the condition that the rays originate from the focus of the lens.

Therefore, in the focus of both converging and diverging lenses, there must be a common focus point that acts as the object point and image point for both lenses respectively.

Thus;

Focal length of diverging lens = Distance between lenses - focal length of converging lens

We are given;

Focal length of converging lens = 39.5 cm

Distance between lenses = 28 cm

Thus, the focal length of the diverging lens = 39.5 - 28

In conclusion, the focal length of the diverging lens = 11.5 cm

Ascientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surface, making it look rainbow-like (an effect known as iridescence). she aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nm (in air). the index of refraction of water is 1.3

Aflask with vinegar in it has a mass of 160 grams. a balloon with baking soda in it has a mass of 40 grams. the balloon is attached to the flask to seal the opening and the vinegar and baking soda mixes. the balloon inflates to a large volume. what will the total mass of the balloon and flask be after the balloon inflates? explain. a) less than 200 grams because the solid baking soda disappears. b) 200 grams, because all the atoms remain in the balloon or flask. c) more than 200 grams because the size of the balloon is so much larger. d) less than 200 grams because gases such as the one in the balloon are lighter than solids and liquids.
