Answer:

B. Light passes through a small opening

Explanation:

Diffraction is one of the properties of wave defined as the bending of wave around corners. It occurs mostly when waves passes through a tiny opening or slit. The type of waveform generated by the wave depends on the type of opening or slit that the medium passes through. The opening can be tiny or large.

Based on the definition, it can be inferred that the situation that causes light waves to diffract is when the light passes through a small opening. For example, the light of a torch passing through a tiny door hole is diffraction.

What is a key difference between cell signaling by a cell-surface receptor and cell signaling by an intracellular receptor?

Art [367]

CORRECT ANSWER:

a- Cell-surface receptors bind polar signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind nonpolar signaling molecules.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The complete question from book is

According to Figure 9.6, what is a key difference between cell signaling by a cell-surface receptor and cell signaling by an intracellular receptor?

a- Cell-surface receptors bind polar signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind nonpolar signaling molecules.

b- Signaling molecules that bind to cell-surface receptors lead to cellular responses restricted to the cytoplasm; signaling molecules that bind to intracellular receptors lead to cellular responses restricted to the nucleus.

c- Cell-surface receptors bind to specific signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind any signaling molecule.

d- Cell-surface receptors typically bind to signaling molecules that are smaller than those bound by intracellular receptors.

e- None of the other answer options is correct.

Find the ratio of the final speed of the electron to the final speed of the hydrogen ion, assuming non-relativistic speeds. Take

KiRa [710]

Answer:

$\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=0.428*10^{2}$

Explanation:

From conservation of energy states that

$K_{i}+v_{i}=v_{f}+K_{f}\\ as\\K_{i}=0\\K_{f}=1/2mv^{2}\\ v_{i}=qv\\v_{f}=0\\So\\qv=1/2mv^{2}\\ v=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m} }\\ Velocity_{electron}=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m_{e}} }\\Velocity_{hydrogen}=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m_{h}} }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{2qv}{m_{e}}}{\frac{2qv}{m_{h}}}}\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{h}}{m_{e}} }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{1.67*10^{-27} }{9.11*10^{-31} } }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=0.428*10^{2}$

What is the correct order of increasing energy?

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Microwaves, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, γ-rays

Explanation:

The energy of any wave is given by :

$E=h\nu$

h = Planck's constant

$\nu$ is the frequency of wave

It is clear that the energy of any wave is directly proportional to its frequency. Gamma rays have maximum frequency. Out of given options microwaves have least frequency.

So, the increasing order of energy is "microwaves, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, γ-rays". Hence, the correct option is (5).
