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 see-saw is balanced on a pivot with two children on it. One child is sitting 1.5 m to the left of the pivot and has a mass of
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

This is a second class lever. It is much more efficient than the fishing pole problem. All distances are measured from the pivot in these kinds of questions.

Givens

d1 = 1.5

d2 = ?

m1 = 50 kg

m2 = 30 kg

The lighter child will have to sit further away from the pivot to make the two conditions equal.

Formula

d1*m1 = d2*m2

1.5*50 = d2 * 30

75 = 30 * d2

75/30 = d2

d2 = 2.5

Remark

Notice that the distance is longer for the lighter child. The fact that these are masses and not forces does not matter, but you should take note of it. There is a difference between masses and forces. See the fishing pole problem.

Answer to the multiple Choice question. No motion on this kind of problem means equal moments. The answer is D

Problem 2

1) The wheels are further apart making B more stable. The wider the distance the wheels are apart, the harder it would be to tip the concrete mixer over

2) The center of gravity is lower. The higher the force is the more chance you have of exerting an external force to tip the mixer over.

The light rays in the illustration below do not properly focus at the focal point. this problem occurs with?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The problem occurs with all spherical mirrors.

Spherical mirrors are practical up to about inches in diameter.

Reflecting telescopes use spherical mirrors for apertures up to about 4 ".

Larger aperture telescopes use parabolic mirrors to obtain sharp focus.

What mass of steam at 100°C must be mixed with 119 g of ice at its melting point, in a thermally insulated container, to produce
N76 [4]

Answer:M=27.92\ gm

Explanation:

Given

mass of ice m=119\ gm

Final temperature of liquid T_f=57^{\circ}C

Specific heat of water c=4186\ J/kg-K

Latent heat of fusion L=333\ kJ/kg

Latent heat of vaporization L_v=2256\ kJ/kg

Suppose M is the mass of steam at 100^{\circ} C

Heat required to melt ice and convert it to water at 57^{\circ}C

Q_1=mL+mc(T_f-0)

Heat released by steam

Q_2=ML_v+Mc(100-T_f)

Q_1 and Q_2 must be equal as the heat gained by ice is equal to Heat released by steam

Q_1=Q_2

\Rightarrow mL+mc(T_f-0)= ML_v+Mc(100-T_f)

\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{m[L+c\times T_f]}{L_v+c(100-T_f)}

\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{119[333\times 10^3+4186\times 57]}{2256\times 10^3+4186\times (100-57)}

\Rightarrow M=119\times 0.2346

M=27.92\ gm
