  1. What do convergence and divergence mean? And why do they matter?

    I understand that when a series diverges, y doesn't approach 0 when x approaches infinity, and converging series do. But what does this say? I just want to understand some applications. NOTE: I'm...

  2. Graphically determining the focal length of a converging lens

    Nov 5, 2023 · So I have plotted all the given data points on a graph, putting 1/di on the y- axis and 1/do on the x-axis. I have to now find focal length from the graph...

  3. Why is my COMSOL solution not converging? - Physics Forums

    Aug 12, 2009 · Hello, I'm a 2nd year student, and I'm trying to get to know COMSOL. I'm starting off by solving simple problems with the incompressible Navier-Stokes model, but I keep having trouble with …

  4. Series that converge to $\pi$ quickly - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    In particular, take a look at the latest version of his talk on "The life of pi" (and its references!), which includes many of the fast converging algorithms and series used in practice for high precision …

  5. Real Object, Images formed by a single converging or diverging lens

    Mar 31, 2010 · A discussion on the formation of images by single lenses highlights key truths about converging and diverging lenses. A converging lens can create a virtual, upright, enlarged image …

  6. Object at focal point of converging lense • Physics Forums

    Apr 17, 2005 · I have a simple question that I can't seem to answer... why is it that when an object is at the focal point of a converging lense, the image is at infinity? How can you show this through ray …

  7. Converging Lens Problem: Finding Distance from Slide for Real and ...

    Feb 7, 2005 · A transparent photographic slide is placed in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 2.24 cm. The lens forms an image of the slide 11.4 cm from...

  8. Velocity of air coming out of a nozzle • Physics Forums

    May 31, 2013 · For a straight or converging duct/orifice, if this pressure ratio is below this critical value, the flow is choked and your flow is moving at exactly Mach 1 at the exit of the hole. In your case, the …

  9. Calculating Flow Rate: Pressure Source to Converging Nozzle

    Jul 30, 2014 · Hey everyone, sorry I posted this in two different forums. I think this forum was more applicable so I wanted to move it. I have a fluid system of water coming from a pressure source. …

  10. Fluid mechanics : Two dimensional converging flow - Physics Forums

    Oct 28, 2016 · So, here's the problem I've come up with that I wanted to solve. We're going to be using a polar coordinate system for this one. A will represent our angle theta, and r will represent our radial …
