<h2>Answer: Sensory adaptation</h2>

Explanation:

Sensory adaptation refers to the adjustment of the sensory capacity of a person following prolonged exposure to stimuli.

To better understand this, it is necessary to explain that environmental stimuli cause a change in the sensitivity of a person's sensory receptors. Then, depending on the type of environmental stimulus, the determined receptor will be stimulated (related to the five main senses of the human being: sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing).

However, when a person gets used to a stimulus, adaptation occurs. Therefore, <u>it will not respond to the stimulus in the same way as it did before. </u>

A very common example is the relation with the smells (olfactory sense), because people get used quickly to the smells that surround them and then they stop "perceiving" the smell.

gogolik [260]

Answer:

The iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation.

Explanation:

The atom has a nucleus, where the protons and neutrons, which are the subatomic particles with the highest mass, are located. Practically all the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus.Protons have a positive electrical charge, while neutrons have no charge.

Electrons move around the nucleus with other negatively charged particles.

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons and 20 electrons in it.  That is, there are 6 more protons than electrons. As mentioned, protons are positively charged. So <u><em>the iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation</em></u>.

A single slit 1.4 mmmm wide is illuminated by 460-nmnm light. Part A What is the width of the central maximum (in cmcm ) in the
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

<h2> 1.643*10⁻⁴cm</h2>

Explanation:

In a single slit experiment, the distance on a screen from the centre point is expressed as y = \frac{\delta m \lambda d}{a} where;

\delta m is the first two diffraction minima = 1

\lambda is light wavelength

d is the distance of diffraction pattern from the screen

a is the width of the slit

Given \lambda = 460-nm = 460*10⁻⁹m

d = 5.0mm = 5*10⁻³m

a = 1.4mm = 1.4*10⁻³m

Substituting this values into the formula above to get width of the central maximum y;

y = 1*460*10⁻⁹ * 5*10⁻³/1.4*10⁻³

y = 2300*10⁻¹²/1.4*10⁻³

y = 1642.86*10⁻⁹

y = 1.643*10⁻⁶m

Converting the final value to cm,

since 100cm = 1m

x = 1.643*10⁻⁶m

x = 1.643*10⁻⁶ * 100

x = 1.643*10⁻⁴cm

Hence, the width of the central maximum in the diffraction pattern on a screen 5.0 mm away is  1.643*10⁻⁴cm
