As light waves enter the eye, which three structures do they pass through first?

1 answer:

4 0

As light enters to the eye, it would pass first through three (3) structures or main layers/tunics:
1. Fibrous tunic - outermost layer of the eye. Consists of cornea and sclera which gives the eye white color and protect the inner parts of the eye.
2. Vascular tunic - middle layer of the eye. Consists of iris and choroid which gives the dark color of the eye and inhibits disorderly reflections inside the eye.
3. Nervous tunic - inner layer of the eye. Consist of retina which is responsible for vision

Kinetic energy because of the wood plank is just still and not moving it’s potential but since it’s asking which one it doesn’t have it doesn’t have kinetic energy cause it’s not moving

Which change occurs when an atom undergoes alpha decay?

oee [108]

In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.

This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.

A ball is thrown upwards at an unknown speed. in a time of

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

a) Initial speed of the ball = 14.45 m/s

b) At height 6 m speed of ball = 9.55 m/s

c) Maximum height reached = 10.65 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion $s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , where s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken and a is the acceleration.

s = 6 m, t = 0.5 seconds, a = acceleration due to gravity value = -9.8 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$6=u*0.5-\frac{1}{2} *9.8*0.5^2\\ \\ u=14.45m/s$

Initial speed of the ball = 14.45 m/s

b) We have equation of motion $v^2=u^2+2as$ , where v is the final velocity

s = 6 m, u = 14.45 m/s, a = -9.8 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$v^2=14.45^2-2*9.8*6\\ \\ v=9.55m/s$

So at height 6 m speed of ball = 9.55 m/s

c) We have equation of motion $v^2=u^2+2as$ , where v is the final velocity

u = 14.45 m/s, v =0 , a = -9.8 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$0^2=14.45^2-2*9.8*s\\ \\ s=10.65 m$

Maximum height reached = 10.65 m

T2 occurs at normal boiling when vapor pressure P2 = 1 atm.
P1 = 55.1 mmHg, P2 = 1 atm = 760mmHg
T1 = 35°c = 308.15k, T2 =
ΔHvap = 32.1kJ/mol = 32100 J/mol
