The human eye is a complex sensing device for visible light. The optic nerve needs a minimum of 2.0 × 10−17 J of energy to trigg

Number of photons can be calculated by dividing the needed energy by the energy per photon.

The minimum energy needed is given as 2 x 10^-17 joules
Energy per photon = hc / lambda where h is planck's constant, c is the speed of light and lambda is the wavelength
Energy per photon = (<span>6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (475 x 10^-9)
                              = 4.18 x 10^-19 J

number of photons = (2 x 10^-17) / (4.18 x 10^-19)
                               = 47.79 photons which is approximately 48 photons</span>

What Is Chemical Equilibrium?a. When all reactants turn into products, the chemical reaction reaches equilibrium. c. Reactants a
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is <em>d. At equilibrium, the forward reaction and reverse reaction will have the same reaction rate.</em>

Explanation:

When a reaction begins, the reactants combine to form products. At the same time of product formation, the convertion of products into reactants also occur. The reaction reaches <em>chemical equilibrium </em>when the rate of forward reaction (the convertion of reactant into products) is equal to the rate of reverse reaction (the convertion of product into reactants). Upon this state, the concentration of reactants and products do not change in time (that does not mean that the concentration of reactants and products are equal, but that once the chemical equilibrium is reached, their concentrations at this point will not vary with the time because the forward and reverse reactions are occuring at the same velocity).
