Post-Impressionist Georges Seurat is famous for a painting technique known as pointillism. His paintings are made up of differen

t-colored dots, and each dot is roughly 2 mm in diameter. When viewed from far enough away, the dots blend together and only large-scale images are seen. Assuming that the human pupil is about 2.9 mm in diameter, determine an approximate minimum distance you need to stand from one of Seurat's paintings to see the dots blended together. (Assume two dots touch, such that their center-to-center distance is equal to one diameter. Also assume light with a wavelength of 563 nm.)

Answer:

84 cm

Explanation:

The resolving power of the eye = 1.22 λ / D where λ is wavelength of light and D is diameter of the eye .

Putting the values in the formula

The resolving power of the eye = 1.22 λ / 2.9 x 10⁻³

Let the minimum distance you need to stand from one of Seurat's paintings to see the dots blended together  be D .

d = distance between two dots = diameter of dot = 2 x 10⁻³ m .

Given ,

λ D / d =  1.22 λ / 2.9 x 10⁻³

D /2 x 10⁻³   =  1.22  / 2.9 x 10⁻³

D = 2 x 1.22 / 2.9 m

= .84 m

= 84 cm .

minimum distance you need to stand from one of Seurat's paintings to see the dots blended together is 84 cm .

What is the intensity of 60dB sound?​
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The intensity of the sound in W/m² is 1 x 10⁻⁶ W/m².

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of the sound level, dB = 60 dB

The intensity of the sound in W/m² is calculated as;

dB = 10 Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\

where;

I₀ is threshold of hearing = 1 x 10⁻¹² W/m²

I is intensity of the sound in W/m²

Substitute the given values and for I;

dB = 10 Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\60 = 10 Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\6 =  Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\10^6 = \frac{I}{I_o} \\\\I = 10^6 \ \times \ I_o\\\\I = 10^6 \ \times \ 1^{-12} \ W/m^2 \\\\I = 1\ \times \ 10^{-6} \ W/m^2

Therefore, the intensity of the sound in W/m² is 1 x 10⁻⁶ W/m².

What is the primary cause of diffusion?
Lostsunrise [7]
<span><u>Answer</u>
c). random internal motion of atoms and molecules.

<u>Explanation </u>
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to region of low concentration. The rate of diffusion can be increased by increasing amount of temperature but this is not its primary cause. Diffusion is primarily caused by movement of molecules or atoms in a substances. Form the choices given, the correct answer is c. random internal motion of atoms and molecules.
