Humans can see several thousand shades of color but have cone photoreceptors that are sensitive to only three (perhaps four) wav

elengths of light. What is the best explanation for why we see so many colors?
Select one:
a.Color perception is dependent on the millions of rods as well as cone photoreceptors.
b.Color perception is achieved by activation of various combinations between the three cone types.
c.Shades of color are purely psychological and learned by association with age, infants only seeing in black and white. Incorrect
d. Colors are added and enhanced in the primary visual cortex of the brain.

Answer:

B. Color perception is achieved by activation of various combinations between the tree cone types.

Explanation:

Human eye have only three photo receptor ( three wavelength) but they can see several thousands of shades of color because color perception is gained by combination of these three wave length cone types ( RED, BLUE AND GREEN) into various combinations. Our retina have two types of cell:- cone cells and cylindrical cells. Cone cells are responsible for the identification of color.

According to the evolutionary perspective of mate selection, why do men and women exhibit different preferences in mate selectio
Alla [95]

C. Each gender has differing attraction cues and priorities.

<h3>Why do men and women exhibit different preferences in mate selection?</h3>

Men and women exhibit different preferences in mate selection because both have different attraction cues and priorities for their partner. These cues and priorities leads to difference in preference of life partner.

So we can conclude that Each gender has differing attraction cues and priorities.

An object is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 10 m/s, and there is an air resistance force causing an acceleration
lana [24]

Answer:

Vf= 7.29 m/s

Explanation:

Two force act on the object:

1) Gravity

2) Air resistance

Upward motion:

Initial velocity = Vi= 10 m/s

Final velocity = Vf= 0 m/s

Gravity acting downward =  g = -9.8 m/s²

Air resistance acting downward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²

Net acceleration = a = -(g + a₁ ) = - ( 9.8 + 3 ) = - 12.8 m/s²

( Acceleration is consider negative if it is in opposite direction of velocity )

Now

2as = Vf² - Vi²

⇒ 2 * (-12.8) *s = 0 - 10²

⇒-25.6 *s = -100

⇒ s = 100/ 25.6

⇒ s = 3.9 m

Downward motion:

Vi= 0 m/s

s = 3.9 m

Gravity acting downward =  g = 9.8 m/s²

Air resistance acting upward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²

Net acceleration = a = g - a₁  =  9.8 - 3  = 6.8 m/s²

Now

2as = Vf² - Vi²

⇒ 2 * 6.8 * 3.9 = Vf² - 0

⇒ Vf² = 53. 125

⇒ Vf= 7.29 m/s

Can you explain to be the definition of Quantum Theory?
Vanyuwa [196]
Quantum Theory is commonly related to Quantum Mechanics, or the physics of sub-atomic particles. Quantum Theory defines the theories or educated ideas behind Quantum Mechanics. I believe this is the answer you are looking for.
