Assuming that 10.0% of a 100 W light bulb's energy output is in the visible range (typical for incandescent bulbs) with an avera

ge wavelength of 580 nm, and that the photons spread out uniformly and are not absorbed by the atmosphere, how far away (in km) would you be if 468 photons per second enter the 3.30 mm diameter pupil of your eye

Answer:

Explanation:

10% of 100 W = 10 W .

energy of each photon = hν , h is plank's constant and ν is frequency

= hc / λ , c is velocity of light , λ is wavelength

wavelength given λ  = 580 x 10⁻⁹ m .

energy of each photon = 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / 580 x 10⁻⁹

= .034137 x ⁻¹⁷ J

no of photons in 10 W

= 10 /  .034137 x ⁻¹⁷

= 292.9 x 10¹⁷

If d be the required distance

no of photons per unit area per second  at distance d

= 292.9 x 10¹⁷ / 4πd²

no of photons through the area of eye

= π x (1.65 x 10⁻³)² x 292.9 x 10¹⁷ / 4πd²

= 199.355 x 10¹¹ / d²

199.355 x 10¹¹ / d² = 468 ( given )

d² = 199.355 x 10¹¹ / 468

= .42597 x 10¹¹

= 42597 x 10⁶

d = 206.4 x 10³ m

= 206.3 km.

The 1994 Winter Olympics included the aerials competition in skiing. In this event skiers speed down a ramp that slopes sharply
kykrilka [37]

Answer: Got It!

<em>Explanation:  </em>let s = speed at launch

v = 0 at top = s sin 63 - g t

so at top

t = s sin 63/g = .0909 s

h = 13.6 = s sin 63 t - 4.9 t^2

13.6 = .081s^2 - .0405 s^2

s^2 = 336

s = 18.3 m/s

When neurotransmitter molecules bind to receptors in the plasma membrane of the receiving neuron
Maru [420]

Answer:

Ion channels in the plasma membrane of the receiving neuron open

Explanation:

Ionotropic receptors are protein structures of the neuronal plasma membrane that function as specific ion channels for certain ions. Depending on the type of ion involved is the nature of the effect that occurs when these channel receptors open. Being ionic channels, these types of receptors participate in the rapid, exciting or inhibitory responses that neurons give.

For now we will refer only to ionotropic excitatory receptors which, by allowing the passage of ions such as sodium or calcium, produce a decrease in membrane potential (hypopolarization). This increases the probability of generating action potentials in the neuron.

To these, like other types of receptors, specific neurotransmitters are attached, which causes their activation and opening.

In addition to presenting an ionic channel in their structure, these receptors have a site where a specific neurotransmitter (binding site to the neurotransmitter) binds. But there are also sites of binding to other molecules, which without causing their opening modify, however, the effect of the neurotransmitter. That is, the receptors can be modulated by other molecules.

A typical example of an ionotropic receptor is the cholinergic receptor (its specific neurotransmitter is acetylcholine, ACh) of the nicotinic subtype found in the skeletal neuromuscular synapse. Part A of the scheme. When ACh binds to the receptor, the channel opens causing sodium ion (Na +) to enter, causing hypopolarization (or depolarization) at that point. The name of this type of receptors derives from the fact that they can be identified with nicotine, a substance that specifically binds to them.
