Compound Microscope: The objective lens and the eyepiece of a microscope have focal lengths of 4.0 mm and 25 mm, respectively. The objective produces a real image 30 times the size of the object, with the final image viewed at infinity. The near point of the microscope user is at 25 cm. What is the magnitude of the overall magnification of the microscope?
A. 250 B. 300 C. 350 D. 400 E. 450
Characteristics of Waves: A fisherman fishing from a pier observes that the float on his line bobs up and down, taking 2.4 s to move from its highest point to its lowest point. He also estimates that the distance between adjacent wave crests is 48 m. What is the speed of the waves going past the pier?
A. 1.0 m/s B. 20 m/s C. 10 m/s D. 5.0 m/s E. 120 m/s
Isolated main-sequence stars as massive as 10 to 12 times the mass of the Sun may still manage to avoid going supernova. Why?
A) because they can also have strong stellar winds B) because about half that mass will be contained in the carbon core C) because they would be classified as brown dwarfs D) because these stars will eject at least 4 solar masses in the planetary nebula stage E) because their masses will decrease as they fuse heavy elements into lighter elements in their cores
