How does the eye control the amount of light entering it?​

Physics
2 answers:
Pani-rosa [81]3 years ago

Answer:

the retina of the eye contains photoreceptor cells that detect the light intensity, whether it is dim or bright, changing shape of iris.

Explanation:

in dim light, the receptors detect the light intensity, and in order to allow us to see more clearly, the radial muscles in iris contract, making the pupil widen(dilate), so more light enters eye.

in case of bright light, he receptors detect the light intensity, and in order to allow us to see more clearly, the circular muscles in iris contract, making the pupil narrow(constrict), so less light enters eye

A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.95m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of ai
klio [65]

Answer:

602.27 kg

Explanation:

The computation of the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift is shown below:-

Volume of helium inside the ballon= (4 ÷ 3) × π × r^3

= (4 ÷ 3) × 3.14 × 6.953

= 1406.19 m3

Mass the balloon can carry = volume × (density of air-density of helium)

= 1406.19 × (1.29-0.179)

= 1562.27 kg

Mass of cargo it can carry = Mass it can carry - Mass of structure

= 1562.27 - 960

= 602.27 kg

Plutonium-239 is a radioactive isotope commonly used as fuel in nuclear reactors. The half-life of plutonium-239 is 24,100 year
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

72,300 years.

Explanation:

  • Initial mass of this sample: 504 grams;
  • Current mass of this sample: 63 grams.

What's the ratio between the current and the initial mass of this sample? In other words, what fraction of the initial sample hasn't yet decayed?

\displaystyle \frac{\text{Current Mass}}{\text{Initial Mass}} = \rm \frac{63\; g}{504\; g} = \frac{1}{8}.

The value of this fraction starts at 1 decreases to 1/2 of its initial value after every half-life. How many times shall 1/2 be multiplied to 1 before reaching 1/8? 2^{3} = 8. It takes three half-lives or 3\times 24100 = 72300 years to reach that value.

In certain questions the denominator of the fraction is large. It might not even be an integer power of 2. The base-x logarithm function on calculators could help. Evaluate

\displaystyle \log_{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{8}} = 3 to find the number of half-lives required. In case the base-x logarithm function isn't available, but the natural logarithm function \ln() is, apply the following expression (derived from the base-changing formula) to get the same result:

\displaystyle \frac{\displaystyle\ln{\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)}}{\displaystyle \ln{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}}.
