PLEASE HELPPPPP!!!!!!!!!

If you wish to observe features that around the size of atoms, say 1.5×10⁻¹⁰ m, with electromagnetic radiation, the radiation must have a wavelength about the size of the atom itself.

a) If you had a microscope which was capable of doing this, what would the frequency of electromagnetic radiation be, in hertz that you would have to use?

b) What type of electromagnetic radiation would this be?

Given Information:

Wavelength = λ = 1.5×10⁻¹⁰ m

Required Information:

a) Frequency = f = ?

b) Type of electromagnetic radiation = ?

Answer:

a) Frequency = f = 2×10¹⁸ Hz

b) Type of electromagnetic radiation = X-rays

Explanation:

a) The frequency of the electromagnetic radiation is given by

f = c/ λ

Where λ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation and c is the speed of light and its value is 3×10⁸ m/s

f = 3×10⁸/1.5×10⁻¹⁰

f = 2×10¹⁸ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation would be 2×10¹⁸ Hz.

b)

The frequency range of X-rays is 3×10¹⁶ Hz to 3×10¹⁹ Hz

The frequency 2×10¹⁸ lies in that range, therefore, the type of electromagnetic radiation is X-rays

Sound waves that enter the external acoustic meatus eventually encounter the __________, which then vibrates at the same frequen

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

tympanic membrane (eardrum)

Explanation:

The sound waves spread through the air and reach the outer ear, into which they penetrate through the ear canal. In doing so, they stimulate the eardrum, which closes the inner end of the duct. By vibrating this membrane, the vibration of a chain of ossicles located in the middle ear is induced. These ossicles transmit their vibration to the oval window, which is a membranous structure that communicates the middle ear with the cochlea of the inner ear. When the oval membrane moves, it moves the liquid (perilymph) that fills one of the three cavities of the cochlea generating waves in it. These waves mechanically stimulate the sensory cells (hair cells) located in the organ of Corti, within the cochlea in the central cavity, the middle ramp. This cavity is filled with a liquid rich in K +, endolymph. The cells embedded in the endolymph, change their permeability to K + due to the movement of the cilia and respond by releasing a neurotransmitter that excites the nerve terminals, which initiate the auditory sensory pathway.
