The eyes of reptile pass a single visual signal to the brain when the visual receptors are struck by photons of wavelength of 85

0 nm. If a total energy of 3.15 x 10-14 J is required to trip the signal, what is the minimum number of photons that must strike the receptor?

Answer: The minimum number of photons that must strike the receptor is 135\times 10^3

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{Nhc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of the light = 3.15\times 10^{-14}J

N= Number of photons = ?

h = Planck's constant =6.6\times 10^{-34}

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda = wavelength of light =850nm=850\times 10^{-9}m     (1nm=10^{-9}m)

3.15\times 10^{-14}=\frac{N\times 6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{850\times 10^{-9}m}

N=135\times 10^3

Thus the minimum number of photons that must strike the receptor is 135\times 10^3

Which of the following samples would be the most compressible?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

CO2 (g)

Explanation:

In solids the interatomic or intermolecular space is least . It is most pronounced in gases . That is why inter molecular or interatomic attraction is least in gases . That is why gas flows .

Hence , when we try to compress a gas , due to inter molecular space , it is most likely to get compressed . It will be least compressed when we try to compress a solid because of lack of intermolecular space .

Two liquids, a and b are immiscible. liquid a has a density of 0.89 g/ml. liquid b has a density of 0.72 g/ml. what would you ex
Burka [1]
In the given above, we have two densities which are 0.89 g/mL and 0.72 g/mL. We are also given that the liquids are immiscible. After the settlement of the liquids, they will form two layers.

The heavier substance, the one which has a higher density will be at the bottom and the lighter substance, the one which has a lower density will be at the top layer.

Calculate the acid dissociation constant Ka of a 0.2 M solution of weak acid that is 0.1% ionized is ________.
mars1129 [50]

Answer: acid dissociation constant Ka= 2.00×10^-7

Explanation:

For the reaction

HA + H20. ----> H3O+ A-

Initially: C. 0. 0

After : C-Cx. Cx. Cx

Ka= [H3O+][A-]/[HA]

Ka= Cx × Cx/C-Cx

Ka= C²X²/C(1-x)

Ka= Cx²/1-x

Where x is degree of dissociation = 0.1% = 0.001 and c is the concentration =0.2

Ka= 0.2(0.001²)/(1-0.001)

Ka= 2.00×10^-7

Therefore the dissociation constant is

2.00×10^-7

What is nucular decay
Nikitich [7]
Nuclear decay is the decay of atoms on the atomic scale. “Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles or photons.”
