Oxygenated hemoglobin absorbs weakly in the red (hence its red color) and strongly in the near infrared, whereas deoxygenated he

moglobin has the opposite absorption. This fact is used in a "pulse oximeter" to measure oxygen saturation in arterial blood. The device clips onto the end of a person's finger and has two light-emitting diodes—a red (638 nm) and an infrared (974 nm)—and a photocell that detects the amount of light transmitted through the finger at each wavelength. (a) Determine the frequency of each of these light sources.

Answer:

4.70\cdot 10^{14} Hz, 3.08\cdot 10^{14} Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a light wave is given by:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength

For the red light emitted by the diode,

\lambda = 638 nm=6.38\cdot 10^{-7}m

So, the frequency is

f=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s}{6.38\cdot 10^{-7} m}=4.70\cdot 10^{14} Hz

For the infrared light emitted by the diode,

\lambda = 974 nm=9.74\cdot 10^{-7}m

So, the frequency is

f=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s}{9.74\cdot 10^{-7} m}=3.08\cdot 10^{14} Hz

Stars form from clouds of gas and dust. As a protostar gravitationally contracts within its parent cloud, "conservation of angul
vredina [299]

Answer:

D) True. the protostar rotates more quickly.

Explanation:

If the system is isolated, the angular momentum must be retained.

Initial

        L₀ = I w₀

Final

       L_{f} = I_{f}  w_{f}

      L₀ = L_{f}

      I w₀ = I_{f}w_{f}

     w_{f}  = I /I_{f} w₀

In general, the radius of the cloud decreases significantly to form the star, the moment of inertia must decrease, so the angular velocity must increase

Let's examine the answers

A) False. The opposite happens

B) False. Speed ​​changes

C) False. For this there must be an external force, which does not exist

D) True. You agree with the above

A region in a ferromagnetic material that has a large number of atoms with aligned magnetic fields is called a what?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Magnetic domain


Its speed can be slowed because the magnetic field can be turned on and off, can have its direction reversed and can have its strength changed. However, The speed of a magnetic field that is produced by a current is impossible to be slowed.
