Humans have three types of cone cells in their eyes, which are responsible for color vision. Each type absorbs a certain part of

the visible spectrum. Suppose a particular cone cell absorbs light with a wavelength of 430 nm. Calculate the frequency of this light. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

Frequency of the light will be equal to 6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the light \lambda =430nm=430\times 10^{-9}m

Velocity of light is equal to v=3\times 10^8m/sec

We have to find the frequency of light

We know that velocity is equal to v=\lambda f, here \lambda is wavelength and f is frequency of light

So frequency of light will be equal to f=\frac{v}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{430\times 10^{-9}}=6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

So frequency of the light will be equal to 6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

Describe a sea-level transgression
Eduardwww [97]
<span>Some geographic areas endure cycles between these two processes called transgressive-regressive sequences. The rocks of western Pennsylvania are one example. Sandy beaches often leave observable records of transgression by covering marsh sediments that were once behind it as it moves inland. The original sediments are then covered by even deeper water sediments, which geologists can trace and record. It is generally believed that transgression will increase in accordance with rising sea levels worldwide</span>

An electron is released form rest in a region of space where a uniform electric field is present. Joanna claims that its kinetic
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Neither.

Explanation:

When an electron is released from rest, in an uniform electric field, it will accelerate moving in a direction opposite to the field (as the field has the direction that it would take a positive test charge, and the electron carries a negative charge).

It will move towards a point  with a higher potential, so its kinetic energy will increase, while its potential energy will decrease:

⇒ ΔK + ΔU = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔU = - (-e*ΔV)

As ΔV>0, we conclude that the electric potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases in the same proportion, in order to energy be conserved, in absence of non-conservative forces.

Capacitors, C1 = 1.0 F and C2 = 1.0 F, are connected in parallel to a 6.0 volt battery (ΔV = 6.0V). If the battery is disconnect
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

66.2 sec

Explanation:

C₁ = 1.0 F

C₂ = 1.0 F

ΔV = Potential difference across the capacitor = 6.0 V

C = parallel combination of capacitors

Parallel combination of capacitors is given as

C = C₁ + C₂

C = 1.0 + 1.0

C = 2.0 F

R = resistance = 33 Ω

Time constant is given as

T = RC

T = 33 x 2

T = 66 sec

V₀ = initial potential difference across the combination = 6.0 Volts

V = final potential difference = 2.2 volts

Using the equation

V = V_{o} e^{\frac{-t}{T}}

2.2 = 6 e^{\frac{-t}{66}}

t = 66.2 sec

In the following diagram, the voltage is 1.5 volts and the resistance is 0.35 ohms. Use Ohm's Law to determine the current in th
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

I = 4.28 [amp]

Explanation:

To solve this type of problems we must have knowledge of the law of ohm, which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of resistance by current.

Initial data:

v = 1.5 [volt]

R = 0.35 [ohms]

v = I * R

therefore:

I = 1.5 / 0.35

I = 4.28 [amp]

which statements about velocity are true? check all that apply. a. for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction
satela [25.4K]
a). for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.
Yes.  This one isn't bad.  The 'number' and the 'unit' are the speed.

b). the si units for velocity are miles per hour.
No.  That's silly. 
'miles' is not an SI unit, and 'miles per hour'
is only a speed, not a velocity. 

c). the symbol for velocity is .
You can use any symbol you want for velocity, as long as
you make its meaning very clear, so that everybody knows
what symbol you're using for velocity.
But this choice-c is still wrong, because either it's incomplete,
or else it's using 'space' for velocity, which is a very poor symbol.

d). to calculate velocity, divide the displacement by time.
Yes, that's OK, but you have to remember that the displacement
has a direction, and so does the velocity.
