The human eye contains a molecule called 11-cis-retinal that changes shape when struck with light of sufficient energy. The chan

ge in shape triggers a series of events that results in an electrical signal being sent to the brain that results in vision. The minimum energy required to change the conformation of 11-cis-retinal within the eye is about 164 kJ/mol.
Calculate the longest wavelength visible to the human eye.

Answer:

1.21 × 10⁻³⁰ m

Explanation:

1 mol of photons causing the change in the conformation of 11-retinal has an energy of 164 kJ. We can find out the wavelength (λ) associated with this energy (E) using the Planck-Einstein equation.

E = h . c . λ⁻¹

where,

h is the Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

λ = h . c . E⁻¹ = (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J × s) × (3.00 × 10⁸ m/s) × (164 × 10³ J)⁻¹ = 1.21 × 10⁻³⁰ m

What is the difference between a state and a microstate of a system?
Brut [27]

Answer:

a) A microstate is a snapshot of positions and speeds at a particular instant.

b) A thermodynamic state is a single possible arrangement of the positions and kinetic energies of the molecules.

c) A thermodynamic state is a set of conditions, usually temperature and pressure, that defines the properties of a bulk material.

d) A microstate is a single possibility for all the positions and kinetic energies of all the molecules in a sample.

e) A thermodynamic state is a set of conditions, usually temperature, volume and number of moles, that defines the properties of a bulk material.

Explanation:

A state of a system in thermodynamics give the properties that a material is been made up, these properties could be pressure, temperature, volumes and others , they are been called thermodynamic property

Microstates helps us to know how molecules is been arranged in single instant. Kinetics energy as well as position of molecules in a particular substance can be known in single instant.
