Since rods are about 1000 times more sensitive than cones (at 470 nm), they should be able to detect smaller values of the elect

ric field. Assuming rods and cones are sensitive to the average energy density of an electromagnetic wave, which of the following statements is the most accurate?a. Rods are about 1000 times more sensitive than cones.b. Rods are about 3 times more sensitive than cones.c. Rods and cones are about equally sensitive.d. Cones are about 3 times more sensitive than rods.e. Cones are about 1000 times more sensitive than rods.

Answer:

  a. Rods are about 1000 times more sensitive than cones.

Explanation:

The answer choice shown is a direct copy of the first line of the problem statement. It doesn't appear to be any more complicated than that. (It's a reading comprehension question.)

Find the kinetic energy of an electron whose de broglie wavelength is 34.0 nm.
dezoksy [38]
The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
\lambda=34.0 nm=34 \cdot 10^{-9} m
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
p= \frac{h}{\lambda}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{34 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kg m/s

Given p=mv, with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kgm/s}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg}=  2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s

This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s)^2=2.06 \cdot 10^{-22} J

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 15.0cm and oriented in the horizontal xy-plane is located in a region of uniform magnet
Drupady [299]

Answer:

See answer

Explanation:

The area of the circular loop is given by:

A = \pi r^2

The magnetic flux is given by:

\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}

d\vec{A} is parallel to \vec{B} and \vec{B} is constant in magnitude and direction therefore:

\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}= \int BdAcos(0)= B\int dA= B*(\pi r^2)= \pi Br^2

Part A)

initially the flux is \phi =\pi B r^2

after the interval \Delta t= 2.4 [m/s]

the flux is

\phi = 0

now, the EMF is defined as:

\epsilon =- \frac{d \phi}{dt},

if we consider \Delta t= 2.4 [m/s] very small then we can re-write it as:

\epsilon =- \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}

\Delta \phi = 0 - \pi B r^2=-\pi (1.7) (0.15)^2=-0.12

then:

\epsilon =- \frac{-0.12}{0.0024} = 50 [V]

Part B)

When looked down from above, the current flows counter clockwise, according to the right hand rule, if you place your thumb upwards (the direction of the magnetic field) and close your fingers, then the current will flow in the direction of your fingers.

Two identical cars, one on the moon and one on the earth, have the same speed and are rounding banked turns that have the same r
Naily [24]

Answer:

The value of the centripetal forces are same.

Explanation:

Given:

The masses of the cars are same. The radii of the banked paths are same. The weight of an object on the moon is about one sixth of its weight on earth.

The expression for centripetal force is given by,

F_{c} = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{r}

where, m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity of the object and r is the radius of the path.

The value of the centripetal force depends on the mass of the object, not on its weight.

As both on moon and earth the velocity of the cars and the radii of the paths are same, so the centripetal forces are the same.

The transfer of heat from the Sun is in the form of thermal radiation (also called infrared radiation)
The transfer of heat at the person’s feet is by thermal conduction. During the day the sand will be hot so if you step on it with bare feet there will be conduction of heat to the feet.
