The lens illustrated above can best be described as a

A.

converging meniscus

B.

plano-convex

C.

diverging meniscus

304.

The bob of a simple pendulum takes 8.0s to complete 10 oscillations. Determine the frequency of oscillation of the bob.

A.

0.125Hz

B.

1.25Hz

C.

7.50Hz

D.

8.00Hz

Correct answer is B

10 complete oscillations = 8.0s

1 complete oscillation (period) = \(\frac{8}{10}\)s

Frequency = \(\frac{1}{period}\) = \(\frac{1}{0.8} = 1.25Hz\)

305.

Which of the following factors does not increase the rate of evaporation of water in a lake?

A.

Increase in the pressure of the atmosphere

B.

Rise in temperature

C.

Increase in the surface area of the lake

D.

Increase in the speed of the wind

Correct answer is A

The rate of evaporation is increased by the lowering of atmospheric pressure and not its increase. Every other factor stands, for the increase of evaporation process.
