Laser vision correction often uses an excimer laser that produces 193-nm electromagnetic radiation. This wavelength is extremely

strongly absorbed by the cornea and ablates it in a manner that reshapes the cornea to correct vision defects. Explain how the strong absorption helps concentrate the energy in a thin layer and thus give greater accuracy in shaping the cornea. Also explain how this strong absorption limits damage to the lens and retina of the eye.

8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

A limited relatively minute number of photons of a certain wavelength are directed onto the eye's lens. Before being absorbed, these photons are powerfully absorbed and condensed into a thin layer. This significantly boosts the cornea's temperature. A discrepancy in space exists when a portion of the cornea evaporates due to high temperatures. The leftover corneal tissues fill in space, and the cornea is restructured and reshaped.

Because of the laser's selectivity and powerful absorption, it is only consumed by cornea tissue, rendering the lens and retina unaffected.

the cyclist has a mass of 50kg and is acceleratiing at 0.9m/s^2. What is the size of the unbalanced force F acting on the cyclis
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

45 N

Explanation:

The question can be solved by using Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net (unbalanced) force on the cyclist

m is the mass of the cyclist

a is his acceleration

In this problem:

m = 50 kg

a=0.9 m/s^2

Therefore, the unbalanced force is

F=(50)(0.9)=45 N

laila [671]

Answer:

Surface tension ____. a. is the inward force which tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid b. may be increased by detergents c. is decreased by hydrogen bonding d.

Note: option d is missing

The correct answer to the question is "option A (is the inward force which tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid)"

Explanation:

Surface tension is the most important for small fluid bodies. The surface comes under tension from the imbalanced forces  and is often expressed as an amount of force exerted in the surface perpendicular to a line of unit length and it is a direct measure of  energy loss per unit area of a surface.

The resistance that a surface shows against extension is a proof that an internal surface tension is present in the surface. Formula for measuring surface tension is: gamma equals force divided by length. The SI unit is newton per meter, dyne per centimeter is also used.

Water has a high surface tension because the water molecules on the surface are pulled together by strong hydrogen bonds. Surface tension of a liquid surface is that property of that liquid surface that makes it act like a stretched elastic sheet. Example of effect of surface tension on water is the flotation of objects denser than water, the separation of oil and water due to tension which arises in surface between dissimilar liquids. In the surface tension of liquid, the net force of attraction acting on the molecule is zero.
