The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Psychologists learned about perception from optical illusions that the response of the senses, when faced with optical stimuli, is different and can be measured because the human can interpret an optical stimulus as being real.

Gustav Fechner (1801-1887) was a German physicist who developed the science that studied quantitative relations of stimuli and sensations. It is called psychophysics. In 1860, he published the book "Elements of Psychophysics," in which he studies how the perception determines the sensory input.

Answer:

Explanation:

That an optical illusion somehow interferes with the way we see things. Even simple illusions can completely fool us. If you search out the term, you'll see all kinds of them.

Most critically we see one thing and know another to be true. But knowing the truth doesn't help us. We still see and believe the truth of the illusion.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

here as we increase the distance the intensity will decrease and hence the amplitude of the electric field will decrease and vice-versa

Explanation:

As wee know that the amplitude of the wave will decide the energy of the wave

Here we know that energy density of electromagnetic wave is given as

u = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E_0^2

now we have

\frac{I}{c} = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E_0^2

so here we can say that intensity of the wave at the given distance from the source is given by formula

I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

so here as we increase the distance the intensity will decrease and hence the amplitude of the electric field will decrease and vice-versa.

Magma from the mantle rises and flows out through a vent onto Earth's surface as lava. This molten material, sometimes along with ash, cinders, and rock, builds up a mountain around the vent. The vent and its mountain together are called a sediment.
