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

A 1.00 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring. the spring is initially stretched by 0.500 m, and the object is released fr

valina [46]

The spring is initially stretched, and the mass released from rest (v=0). The next time the speed becomes zero again is when the spring is fully compressed, and the mass is on the opposite side of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position, after a time t=0.100 s. This corresponds to half oscillation of the system. Therefore, the period of a full oscillation of the system is
$T=2 t = 2 \cdot 0.100 s = 0.200 s$
Which means that the frequency is
$f= \frac{1}{T}= \frac{1}{0.200 s}=5 Hz$
and the angular frequency is
$\omega=2 \pi f = 2 \pi (5 Hz)=31.4 rad/s$

In a spring-mass system, the maximum velocity of the object is given by
$v_{max} = A \omega$
where A is the amplitude of the oscillation. In our problem, the amplitude of the motion corresponds to the initial displacement of the object (A=0.500 m), therefore the maximum velocity is
$v_{max} = A \omega = (0.500 m)(31.4 rad/s)= 15.7 m/s$

how would the velocity of the book change if the applied force were equal to the sliding friction force

Inessa [10]

Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.sliding That's the 'kinetic' kind.. According to Newton's second law, F=ma. That is, the bear's acceleration should be proportional to the total force acting on the bear. As the bear's velocity is constant, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, the total Force acting on the bear is zero. Thus, the friction has to be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the bear's weight. As W=mg, we get that its weight is <span>9.8*400=3,920 Newton. Thus, the friction acting on the bear is 3,920 Newton</span>
