Astronaut Mark Uri is space-traveling from planet X to planet Y at a speed of 0.65c relative to the planets, which are at rest relative to each other

When he is precisely halfway between the planets, a distance of 1.0 light-hour from each one as measured in the planet frame, nuclear devices are detonated on both planets. The explosions are simultaneous in Mark's frame. What is the difference in the time of arrival of the flashes from the explosions as observed by Mark? A) 0 min B) 180 min C) 90 min D) 360 min E) 113 min

An eyeglass lens is cut with one surface having a radius R1 and the other surface having a radius R2, with R1 < R2 . Both positive radii are measured from the same side with R1 being the side closer to the eye. Is this convex-concave lens a converging lens or a diverging lens?

a. This is a converging lens. b. This is a diverging lens. c. This can be either a converging or diverging lens, as more information is needed for a final determination. d. This is neither, since a lens cannot be made this way.
