The best answer is C."the brain interprets the size of the images"
Because, light reflects off the things in the world, then is focussed by our eye's lens. The light changes the light image we are seeing from the distal stimulus(or 3 diminutional world) to the proximal stimulus(or 2 dimensional world), but the image is not actually interpreted until it passes through the retina and optic nerve. The retina converts light into electrical impulses and the optic nerve carries those impulses to the brain. The Brain then changes the electrical impulses into a visual image.

Exactly the same way that you can photograph a mountain or a skyscraper
with the itty bitty camera in your smartphone.

Lenses are used to form a tiny image of a gigantic object.

Based on your knowledge of the electromagnetic spectrum, why are radio waves considered harmless while ultraviolet waves and x-r
Goryan [66]

The correct answer of this question is : A) Radio waves have longer wavelengths, lower frequency, and lower energy than ultraviolet waves and x-rays.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer this question, first we have to know the electromagnetic spectrum.

Electromagnetic spectrum is the arrangement of electromagnetic waves in the ascending order of frequency or descending order of wavelength.

When the waves are arranged in the ascending order of their frequency, then perfect order is given below as such -

Radio wave < Micro wave <  Infrared wave <   Visible light < U.V ray<  X-ray < Gamma ray .

Hence, we see that radio wave has the least frequency, and gamma ray has the most frequency.

We know that wavelength and frequency are inversely are inversely proportional to each other. Hence, radio wave has more wavelength and less frequency.

The wave having more frequency is more energetic. Hence, gamma is more energetic and radio wave is less energetic .

A steel ball bearing with a radius of 1.5 cm forms an image of an object that has been placed 1.1 cm away from the bearing’s sur
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

given

R = 1.5 cm

object distance, u = 1.1 cm

focal length of the ball, f = -R/2

= -1.5/2

= -0.75 cm

let v is the image distance

use, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/(-0.75) - 1/(1.1)

v = -0.446 cm <<<<<---------------Answer

magnification, m = -v/u

= -(-0.446)/1.1

= 0.405 <<<<<<<<<---------------Answer

The image is virtual

The image is upright

given

R = 1.5 cm

object distance, u = 1.1 cm

focal length of the ball, f = -R/2

= -1.5/2

= -0.75 cm

let v is the image distance

use, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/(-0.75) - 1/(1.1)

v = -0.446 cm <<<<<---------------Answer

magnification, m = -v/u

= -(-0.446)/1.1

= 0.405 <<<<<<<<<---------------Answer

Kindly check the diagram in the attached image below.
