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

A crate is placed on an adjustable, incline board. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the board is 0.29.
sasho [114]

Let the angle be Θ (theta)

Let the mass of the crate be m.

a) When the crate just begins to slip. At that moment the net force will be equal to zero and the static friction will be at the maximum vale.

Normal force (N) = mg CosΘ

μ (coefficient of static friction) = 0.29

Static friction = μN = μmg CosΘ

Now, along the ramp, the equation of net force will be:

mg SinΘ - μmg CosΘ = 0

mg SinΘ = μmg CosΘ

tan Θ = μ

tan Θ = 0.29

Θ = 16.17°

b) Let the acceleration be a.

Coefficient of kinetic friction = μ = 0.26

Now, the equation of net force will be:

mg sinΘ - μ mg CosΘ = ma

a = g SinΘ - μg CosΘ

Plugging the values

a = 9.8 × 0.278 - 0.26 × 9.8 × 0.96

a = 2.7244 - 2.44608

a = 0.278 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration is 0.278 m/s^2

Which of the following has mechanical energy?
KATRIN_1 [288]
Mechanical energy can have mechanical systems. The only mechanical system in the list is the compressed spring. A car battery and a glowing incandescent lightbulb have electrical energy, a nucleus of atom has potential (internal) energy.

Interference is an example of which aspect of electromagnetic radiation
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

We experience interference while listening to the radio. A radio station works by sending and receiving radio waves. Since the radio waves are being interfered with other waves which must have a wave nature.

The interference is the net result of two individual waves. It can be constructive or destructive interference and is the property of waves and not particles.

This interference is an example of electromagnetic radiation. Thus we experience wave behavior of electromagnetic radiation in our daily communications.
