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

The solubility of kL is 50g in 100 g h2o at 20 celcius. If 110 grams of of kL are added to 200 grams of h2o. What is happens ?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

a saturated solution will form.

Explanation:

All solutions have a definite capacity of dissolving solute in it.

Unsaturated solutions are the solutions which contain less amount of solute than the maximum capacity of dissolving the solute. If more amount of solute is added in such a way a point is reached where addition of more solute cannot be dissolved. The solution is known as saturated solution.

Amount dissolved > Maximum solubility limit, the solution is saturated.

Amount dissolved < Maximum solubility limit, the solution is unsaturated.

If the amount of the salt exceeds the solubility limit, then the solution is saturated solution. If it is less than the limit given, then it is unsaturated solution.

Given,

50 g of KI is added to 100 g of water at 20 °C.

It means:

100 g of water can dissolve maximum of 50 g of  KCl.

Also,

1 g of water can dissolve maximum of 0.5 g of  KCl.

To check for 200 g of water:

200 g of water can dissolve maximum of (0.5)*200 g of  KCl.

Maximum amount of KCl that can be dissolved = 100 g

Actual amount dissolved = 110 g

Since,

Amount dissolved > Maximum solubility limit

110 g > 100 g

According to definition, the solution is saturated.

<u>Hence, a saturated solution will form.</u>

Look at the following diagram of the carbon cycle.
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The energy consumed by animals in the form of glucose is conserved because it is transformed into chemical energy as carbon dioxide is produced during respiration.

Explanation:

There's no diagram....but I kinda figured it from the description.
