80% takes place in the cornea, 20% takes place in the lens. Hope this helps ;)

Most of that refraction in the eye takes place at the first surface, since the transition from the air into the cornea is the largest change in index of refraction which the light experiences. About 80% of the refraction occurs in the cornea and about 20% in the inner crystalline lens.

valina [46]

Answer:

-0.7 m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity (u)= 2.5 m/s

Acceleleration (a)= -0.8 m/s^2

Time taken (t) = 4  seconds

Hence,

v=u+at [1st Equation of motion]

v=2.5+-0.8*4

v=2.5-3.2

v=-0.7 m/s

Note that the negative sign indicates that the ball has changed direction and rolls downwards with gravity

Peter and Fred are skateboarding in a large semicircular halfpipe. Peter starts out from rest at a height h and collides with Fr
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The answer is h/4

Explanation:

When Peter collides with Fred, the collision is inelastic & they both proceed with a velocity of V/2.

let m represent the masses for Peter & Fred

v represent the initial velocity of Peter

V represent final velocity of both of them

mv + 3m × 0 = (m+m)V

V = v/2

Using the expression; H = v² / 2g .............Eqn 1

Upon substitution of V/2 into Eqn 1 above,

H = (V/2)² / 2g

H = (V²/4) ÷ 2g

Therefore height will be h/4

Sunlight, with an intensity of 667 W / m², strikes a flat collecting surface perpendicularly and is totally absorbed. The area o
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

F = 20.07 μN

Explanation:

given,                                            

intensity of sunlight = 667 W/m²

area of surface =  9.03 m²

speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

force = ?                                  

we know                                                                

force =intensity \times \dfrac{Area}{speed of light}

force =667 \times \dfrac{9.03}{3\times 10^8}

F = 20.07 x 10⁻⁶ N

F = 20.07 μN
