What are lenses with thick centers and thin edges called?
Lenses with thick centers and thin edges are called convex lenses. They converge light rays towards a focal point, which allows them to focus light and produce real images.
What is the difference of a thin straw or thick straw in water?
A thin straw will allow water to flow more slowly due to its narrower opening, while a thick straw will allow water to flow more quickly due to its wider opening. The thin straw will create more resistance to the flow of water compared to a thick straw.
Why can liquids be thick or thin?
The thickness or thinness of a liquid is determined by its viscosity, which is the measure of the liquid's resistance to flow. Liquids with high viscosity are deemed thick, as they flow slowly, while liquids with low viscosity are considered thin, as they flow more easily. Viscosity is influenced by factors like temperature, molecular structure, and interactions between molecules.
Gram-positive bacteria have a thick cell wall composed of?
Gram positive bacteria are so called because their cell walls are one thick layer of peptidoglycan, basically, so the stain is trapped in the cell wall and not rinsed away.
What the property of metals to be drawn out into thin wires called?
The property of metals to be drawn out into thin wires is called ductility. This allows metals to be stretched into wire or other thin forms without breaking.
A is thick on one end and tapers to a thin edge at th other end?
A is a wedge.
A device that is thick at one end and tapers to a thin edge at the other end is a?
A Wedge
How is a wedge a modified inclined plane?
A wedge is a modified inclined plane that is thick at one end and tapers to a thin edge at the other. It functions by converting a force applied parallel to the thick end into a force perpendicular to the thin edge, allowing it to split objects apart.
What is a piece of material such as metal or wood thick at one edge and tapered to a thin edge at the other?
A piece of material that is thick at one edge and tapers to a thin edge at the other is called a "wedge." Wedges are commonly used as tools to split, lift, or hold objects apart, leveraging the principle of force distribution. They can be made from various materials, including metal or wood, and are essential in applications like construction and carpentry.
What is thick in the middle an thin in thin at the edge?
It's a pizza crust. The middle is thick and doughy, while the edges are thin and crispy.
A device that is thick at one end and tapers to a thin edge at the other end is an?
In general, if rectangular in profile: a wedge, slope, or ramp. At the hardware store, it may also be called a shim or a door shim. If circular in profile, it might be called a cone if the thin end is infinitesimal in diameter, or it may be a frustum if the narrow end has some dimension. In a machine shop, it might also be a taper or a Morse taper, if referring to certain tooling.
What do you call the thin and thick part of the crust?
The thin part of the crust is called ocean basins. The thick part of the crust is called continents.
What are overlapping thick and thin filaments called?
I-Band
What is a lens that is thin in the middle and thick at the edge is it convex?
A lens that is thin in the middle and thick at the edges is convex. This shape causes light rays passing through the lens to converge and focus at a point, making it a converging lens.
Why is it called sharp?
An object (as a knife for ex.) with a thin edge.
What is the difference between thick and thin atmosphere?
A thin atmosphere is thin and a thick atmosphere is thick
What is the word pair for thick?
The pair word is 'thin': thick and thin.
