nuclear force?

Vocaloid:

still figuring this one out but I'm pretty sure nuclear force is a type of force not a type of reaction

zarkam21:

okay well while you are figuring this one out.

Vocaloid:

uh well I have a vague idea of how to draw ray diagrams you'd start with with the tip of the object, go straight horizontally to the mirror, then bounce off and cross the focal point

Vocaloid:

wait this is a lens, you don't bounce back, you would cross the lens to the other focal point

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

needs to go straight across first (horizontally) then go through the focal point

Vocaloid:

(the focal point on the other side since its a lens)

zarkam21:

the one on the left side?

nuts:

that reaction is fusion i'm pretty sure and happens in the sun

Vocaloid:

actually you're gonna want to extend that ray out as far as you can

Vocaloid:

also the place where it bends is right on the lens not out there

Vocaloid:

|dw:1528174882000:dw|

Vocaloid:

anyway, to draw the next ray, start from the top of the image again, go through the left focal point, hit the lens, then go straight horizontally until you intersect with the first ray

Vocaloid:

it was a bit off from the focal point

zarkam21:

okay got thT is that it for the first part

Vocaloid:

but anyway, once you make that adjustment, then you're gonna draw where the two rays intersect and let that be the top of the image

Vocaloid:

yours is still a bit off, remember the rays have to cross the focal points exactly

zarkam21:

okay I got it !! for someone my laptop wont let me screenshot ti

zarkam21:

however for the second part what type of mirror etc

Vocaloid:

iirc convex mirror and concave lens produce the same type of image convex lens and concave mirror produce the same type of image so you just need to figure out what type of lens this is and pick the appropriate mirror type

zarkam21:

concave

zarkam21:

and convex

Vocaloid:

uh I think so? convex lens + concave mirror? tbh I'm not really sure about this one

zarkam21:

okay so c

zarkam21:

23.3?

Vocaloid:

I don't know this one, tbh I still don't really understand the difference between a real and virtual image

zarkam21:

29 16 S

Vocaloid:

a) is good, check b) again, the atomic# is off

zarkam21:

29 14 Si

Vocaloid:

good

zarkam21:

did you ever figure the nuclear reaction question out

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

oh, right, nuts said earlier it was fusion (since two small daughter nuclei are forming a larger nuclei) location is the sun as for how the energy can be "harnessed for homes" I'm not 100% sure what sort of answer they're looking for tbh

nuts:

vocaloid can you unblock me or nah :( also you could talk about solar energy. Frankly all energy on the earth is from the sun, except maybe geothermal. It's just very indirect solar in some cases.

Vocaloid:

oh right that makes a lot more sense

zarkam21:

so it could be solar energy for this as well.

Vocaloid:

yeah, I thought it was asking "how can nuclear fusion be harnessed in homes" but I think the question might be asking "how can this particular reaction, that occurs in the sun, be harnessed in homes" which is more about how solar energy is converted to other forms of energy

Vocaloid:

nutsiunblockedyouyoubetternotmakemeregretthis

nuts:

If you want more details, the reason I identified it as fusion is because you're looking at two hydrogen atoms colliding. Keep in mind that it's the proton count that determines the identity of an element. Essentially you have deuterium and tritium colliding here to form a helium nucleus (coincidentally an alpha particle) and an extra neutron. It's not hard to make the argument that the sun drives our water cycle (hydroelectric), causes wind (for wind turbines) and is the source of photosynthesis that our fossil fuels were generated from. Probably your question is just looking for photovoltaic solar energy though.
