Homework Statement
An object and a screen are separated by 20 cm. A convex lens is placed between them, 5 cm from the object. In this position it causes a sharp image of the object to form on the screen. What is the focal length of the lens?

wouldn't it just...
well, it tells me that A and B are correct, but I'm just not totally sure if C is correct, but since I don't have any options to say that A and B are correct, then I am thinking D has to be the correct answer, and that wire length is also important.

is this correct? thanks.
Homework Statement
What is the value of 3.0 coulobms per second in Amps?
The Attempt at a Solution
amps are coulombs per second, so its just 3 right? I just want to make sure this isn't some kind of trick. thanks for any input.
I looked it up in several areas on the web but nothing really helped, there is no definition in my physics book. anyway, I had a question about the Hubble telescope and I found its resolution to be about 0.1 arc-seconds . Thats great and all but what does that mean really? for example, how...
I found this in my book / on the web as well:
In 1801, Thomas Young successfully showed that light does produce a two-point source interference pattern. In order to produce such a pattern, monochromatic light must be used. Monochromatic light is light of a single color; by use of such light...
