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.)

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

(a) Elongation of the rod==5.61×10⁻⁹m

(b) Change in diameter=1.640×10⁻⁸m

Explanation:

Given data

Diameter d=78 in=1.9812 m

Cross Area is:

A=(\pi /4)d^{2} \\A=(\pi /4)(1.9812m)^{2}\\A=3.08m^{2}

Applied Load P=17 KN=17×10³N

E=29 × 106 psi=1.99947961×10¹¹Pa

Stress and Strain in x direction

Stress in x direction

σ=P/A

=\frac{17*10^{3}N }{3.08m^{2} }\\ =5517.25Pa

σ=5517.25 Pa

Strain in x direction

ε=σ/E

=\frac{5517.25}{1.99947961*10^{11} } \\=2.76*10^{-8}

ε=2.76×10⁻⁸

Part (a)

Elongation of the rod=Lε

=(0.2032)(2.76×10⁻⁸)

Elongation of the rod==5.61×10⁻⁹m

Part(b) Change in diameter

Strain in y direction

ε₁= -vε

ε₁= -(0.30)(2.76×10⁻⁸)

ε₁=-8.28×10⁻⁹

Change in diameter=d×ε₁

Change in diameter=(1.9812m)×(-8.28×10⁻⁹)

Change in diameter=1.640×10⁻⁸m

How will sunlight most likely affect a black shirt on a hot summer day? the temperature of the shirt will depend on how much sun
vladimir2022 [97]

The correct answer is option (C) the temperature of the shirt will increase because all wavelengths of light are absorbed by the shirt.

The relationship of heat and light

  • Heat is a measure of the movement of particles in the body, the more particles move, the warmer the body becomes.
  • When the body absorbs light radiation, its particles vibrate in accordance with the electromagnetic radiation's wavelengths, which causes an increase in the temperature with the increase in particle movement.
  • The more wavelengths of radiation absorbed by an object, produces more heat.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

True  b and c

Explanation:

In an RLC circuit the impedance is

         Z = \sqrt{[R^{2} + ( (wL)^{2} + (\frac{1}{wC})^{2} ]     }

examine the different phrases..

a) False. The maximum impedance is the value of the resistance  

b) True. Resonance occurs when  

              (wL)² + (1 / wC)² = 0

               w² = 1 / LC

c) True. In resonance the impedance is the resistive part and the power is maximum  

d) False. In resonance the inductive and capacitive part cancel each other out  

e) False. The impedance is always greater outside of resonance, but at the resonance point they are equal

A sports car is advertised to be able to stop in a distance of 50.0 m from a speed of 80 km. What is its acceleration and how ma
Flauer [41]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the sports car, u = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s

Final speed of the runner, v = 0

Distance covered by the sports car, d = 80 km = 80000 m

Let a is the acceleration of the sports car.  It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2ad

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}

a=\dfrac{0-(22.22)^2}{2\times 80000}

a=-0.00308\ m/s^2

Value of g, g=9.8\ m/s^2

a=\dfrac{-0.00308}{9.8}\ m/s^2

a=(-0.000314)\ g\ m/s^2

Hence, this is required solution.
