Light intensity and distance is
interrelated. When the distance changes, the intensity of light changes. This relationship
is called inverse-square relationship. The inverse-square relationship refers
to the fact that when distance changes, light intensity also changes: inverse
because when distance decreases, light density increases and when distance
increases, the latter decreases; square refers to the fact that light intensity
and distance is not a one-to-one relationship.
Answer:
mucilage can detect objects the size of millimeters, whereas humans can only detect objects larger than centimeters
Explanation:
The human ear can detect sound in the range of 20 to 20000hz, we are asked to find the mid-range wavelength of the ear at f = 10000 Hz
let's use the relationship between wave speed, wavelength and frequency
v = λ f
λ= v / f
λ = 343/10000
λ = 3.43 10⁻² m
the sound range of a bat is between 25 10³ Hz and 100 10³ Hz, they also ask for the wavelength in the middle range
f = (100 10³ + 25 10³) / 2
f = 62.5 10³ Hz
λ = 343 / 62.5 10³
λ = 5.5 10⁻³ m
Therefore the size of the object that a bat can detect is much smaller than the size that a human can detect, therefore the bat is capable of detecting insects, but humans.
The mucilage can detect objects the size of millimeters, whereas humans can only detect objects larger than centimeters
This is called Conduction.
