Two greenish birds 15 cm apart at distance 350 meters from an observer. What would be a
suitable lens for his binoculars for a perfect view? Explain and discuss your result.

Binoculars make use of two convex lens. The front lens that faces the point of observation and converges light rays that are coming from the birds and makes a focused image of it at a short distance which is behind the lens.The second lens is again a convex lens that picks up the image of the bird that is formed by the first lens and magnifies it.

The Binoculars have some sought of code written on it which has the form in general "mxd"where m stands for magnification power and d is the diameter in millimetre of the Objective lens.
Since the birds are situated at a distance of 350m we could use a binocular with magnification 10x for a clear veiw. Here,the magnification will be 10 times,but as you would expect field of view will narrow down.It is however suitable for this purpose.Bird watchers usually also prefer to use 8x42 which means magnification is 8 times and the objective lens has a diameter of 42 mm this gives a smaller image that’s wider and brighter but not suitable for watching over a long distance.

Two events are observed by inertial observer Stampy to occur a spatial distance of 15 c·s apart with the spatial coordinate of the second larger than the spatial coordinate of the first. Stampy also determines that the second event occurred 17 s after the first. According to inertial observer Philip moving along Stampy’s +x axis at unknown velocity v, the second event occurs 10 s after the first.

A string is stretched between a fixed support and a pulley a distance 125 cm apart. The tension on the string is controlled by a weight hanging from the string below the pulley. An electomechnical vibrator is used to vibrate the string at 120 Hz. When the weight is adjusted to 275 g, the string is found to oscillate in its third standing wave mode (three loops). What is the speed of wave propogation on the string in this mode?...
