The eyes of amphibians such as frogs have a much flatter cornea but a more strongly curved (almost spherical) lens than do the e

yes of air-dwelling mammals. In mammalian eyes, the shape (and therefore the focal length) of the lens changes to enable the eye to focus at different distances. In amphibian eyes, the shape of the lens doesn't change. Amphibians focus on objects at different distances by using specialized muscles to move the lens closer to or farther from the retina, like the focusing mechanism of a camera. In air, most frogs are nearsighted; correcting the distance vision of a typical frog in air would require contact lenses with a power of about −6.0D .A frog can see an insect clearly at a distance of 10cm . At that point the effective distance from the lens to the retina is 8mm .If the insect moves 5cm farther from the frog, by how much and in which direction does the lens of the frog's eye have to move to keep the insect in focus?0.02cm, toward the retina.0.02cm, away from the retina.0.06cm, toward the retina.0.06cm, away from the retina.

Answer:

0.2cm towards the retina.

Explanation:

the focal length of the frog eye is

(1/f) = (1/10) + (1/0.8)

f = 0.74cm

Since the distance of the object is 15cm Hence

(1/0.74) = (1/15) + (1/V)

V = 0.78cm

Therefore the distance the retina is to move is

0.78cm - 0.8cm = 0.02cm towards the retina.

A LED light source contains a 0.5-Watts GaAs (Eg =1.43 eV) LED. Assuming that 0.12% of the electric energy is converted to emiss
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

energy emitted by  source per second  = .5 J

Eg = 1.43 eV .

Energy converted into radiation = .5 x .12 = .06 J

energy of one photon = 1.43 eV

= 1.43 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 2.288 x 10⁻¹⁹ J .

no of photons generated = .06 / 2.288 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 2.6223 x 10¹⁷

wavelength of photon λ = 1275 / 1.43 nm

= 891.6 nm .

momentum of photon = h / λ  ;  h is plank's constant

= 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ / 891.6 x 10⁻⁹

= .0074 x 10⁻²⁵ J.s

Total momentum of all the photons generated

= .0074 x 10⁻²⁵  x 2.6223 x 10¹⁷

= .0194 x 10⁻⁸ Js

b ) spectral width in terms of wavelength = 30 nm

frequency width = ?

n = c / λ  , n is frequency , c is velocity of light and λ is wavelength

differentiating both sides

dn = c x dλ / λ²

given dλ = 30 nm

λ = 891.6 nm

dn = 3 x 10⁸ x 30 x 10⁻⁹ / ( 891.6  x 10⁻⁹ )²

= 11.3 x 10¹² Hz .

c )

10 nW = 10  x 10⁻⁹ W

= 10⁻⁸ W .

energy of 50 dB

50 dB = 5 B

I / I₀ = 10⁵   ;   decibel scale is logarithmic , I is energy of sound having dB = 50 and  I₀ = 10⁻¹² W /s

I = I₀ x 10⁵

= 10⁻¹² x 10⁵

= 10⁻⁷ W

= 10 x 10⁻⁸ W

power required

= 10⁻⁸ + 10 x 10⁻⁸ W

= 11  x 10⁻⁸ W.

In avarage,How many times do a child breathe in a
ollegr [7]
On an approximate scale, A child breaths 20 times a minute as compared to only 12 to 16 in resting phase of an Adult.

So, In 60 minutes (1 hour), They breathe = 20 * 60 = 1200
In 24 hours (1 day), They breathe = 1200 * 24 = 28,800

In short, Your Answer would be: 28,800

Hope this helps!
