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

An object accelerates 3.0 m/s2 when a force of 6.0 N is applied to it. What is the mass of the object?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

<h2>2 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{6}{3}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

The rate at which light energy is radiated from a source is measured in which of the following units?
Over [174]
The correct option is D.
Lumen is used to quantify the amount of total light energy that a source is putting out in all direction, thus, it refers to luminous output of a light source. Initial lumen refers to the luminosity of a light when it was first turned on; the luminosity is highest at this point.

Consider the possible scenarios and determine which of them are true for positive feedbacks or negative feedbacks.A. Increased p
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Scenario A, B and E is True.

Explanation:

Scenario A) True. Removing carbon dioxide from atmosphere decreases greenhouse effect of atmosphere. Thus, temperature rise decreases.

Scenario B) True. The more evaporation creates the more greenhouse effect. Therefore, temperature rise increases.

Scenario C) False. Removing carbon dioxide from atmosphere decreases greenhouse effect of atmosphere. Thus, temperature rise decreases.

Scenario D) False. The more evaporation creates the more greenhouse effect. Therefore, temperature rise increases.

Scenario E) True. If reflected radiation increases from Earth, temperature rise of the Earth will decrease. Ice cover increases reflectivity which leads temperature level decrease.

Scenario F) False. If reflected radiation increases from Earth, temperature rise of the Earth will decrease. Ice cover increases reflectivity which leads temperature level decrease.

A dog has a mass of 20 kg. If the dog is pushed across the ice with a force of 40 N, what is its acceleration?
olasank [31]

Answer:

The acceleration is 2 m/s2.

Explanation:

We calculate the acceleration (a), with the data of mass (m) and force (F), through the formula:

F = m x a  ---> a= F/m

a = 40 N/20 kg                   <em>  1N= 1 kg x m/s2</em>

a= 40 kgx m/s2/ 20 kg

<em>a= 2 m/s2</em>

A 4 kg mass is in free fall. What is the velocity of the mass after 11 seconds
Ksju [112]
Velocity of the mass after 11 seconds = ( value of the gravitational acceleration) * ( time )
velocity = ( 9.81 m / s^2 ) ( 11)
velocity = 107.91 meters per second
