Problems with sign 'M'

Deadline expired on January 11, 2006.


M. 265. If the screen of a colour monitor or a colour television is observed through a magnifying lens then blue, green and red points or segments can be seen. Find the distance between two points or segments which have the same colour in both cases, with using optical devices.

Problems with sign 'P'

Deadline expired on January 11, 2006.


P. 3844. An electric kettle, rated at 6 W, is turned on for 25 minutes and 1.2 l water which was initially at a temperature of 20 oC is heated. Find the final temperature of the water if the efficiency of the process is 0.7.

P. 3846. A hollow solid of revolution is rotated about its vertical axis of symmetry at an angular velocity of \omega. What is the shape of this solid if a small object is in equilibrium at any point on the interior surface of the solid. (Static friction is negligible.)

P. 3848. A point-like light-source is placed to the symmetry axis of a hemisphere shaped piece of glass of radius 20 cm 10 cm away from the plane surface. The refractive index of glass is 1.5. How long does it take for the light ray whose angle of incidence is 60o to travel through the glass, and what is its direction after emerging from the glass.

P. 3850. Radio waves are sent from the equator to a geostationary satellite, which can always be seen above our head. How long does it take the radio waves to reach the satellite, and what is the displacement of the satellite during this time?

P. 3851. A diffraction grating is illuminated by light of wavelength 598 nm. The distance between the lines in the diffraction pattern formed on a screen 5 m away from the grating is 2 cm. Find the distance between two rulings. How would the diffraction pattern change if half of the grating parallel to the rulings, or perpendicular to the rulings was covered?
