Contact lenses are designed to be gas permeable in order to allow oxygen to diffuse to the eye. If the edge of a contact lens is

double the thickness of the central portion of the lens, how will the diffusion time differ through the different parts of the contact lens?
a) The diffusion time through the edge is double the diffusion time through the center.
b) The diffusion time through the edge is quadruple the diffusion time through the center
c) The diffusion time through the edge is half the diffusion time through the center
d) The diffusion time is the same for both.

Answer: A

The diffusion time through the edge is double the diffusion time through the center.

Explanation:

Only the diffusion coefficient, thickness, surface area, distance affects the time it takes a gas such as oxygen to diffuse a given in a medium. The Diffusion time increases with the square of diffusion distance  Also, the Increased surface area increases the rate of diffusion or the diffusion time, whereas a thicker membrane reduces the rate of diffusion or time it takes the gas to be permeable. Also, The greater the distance that a substance must travel, the slower the rate of diffusion The diffusion coefficient determines the time it takes a gas to diffuse. Also the Diffusion time is inversely proportional to the diffusion coefficient.

Now, If the edge of a contact lens is double the thickness of the central portion of the lens, then it will take more time for the gas to diffuse through the thicker portion. since its edge is double the central position, then the diffusion time will also be doubled. So Option A is the best answer-

The diffusion time through the edge is double the diffusion time through the center.

Does the response of the light bulb depend on how fast you move the bar magnet? if so, how?
Illusion [34]

Yes , the response of the light bulb depend on how fast you move the bar magnet

Flux is the presence of a force field in a specified physical medium, or the flow of energy through a surface

Lenz's law states that the induced electromotive force with different polarities induces a current whose magnetic field opposes the change in magnetic flux through the loop in order to ensure that the original flux is maintained through the loop when current flows in it.

Yes, waving a magnet around does create an electromagnetic wave which does affect the light bulb .

Due to motion of the bar, there will be a constant change in flux and due to  Lenz's Law a current within the coil will be induced . This induced current can be used to power the light bulb.

As we know that the greater the speed, the greater the magnitude of the current, and the current is zero when there is no motion.

There will be change in brightness as the bar moves with faster speed.
