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

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The orbital speed of this second satellite is 5195.16 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Orbital radius of first satellite $r_{1}= 8.20\times10^{7}$

Orbital radius of second satellite $r_{2}=7.00\times10^{7}\ m$

Mass of first satellite $m_{1}=53.0\ kg$

Mass of second satellite $m_{2}=54.0\ kg$

Orbital speed of first satellite = 4800 m/s

We need to calculate the orbital speed of this second satellite

Using formula of orbital speed

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$

From this relation,

$v_{1}\propto\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{r}}$

Now, $\dfrac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}}$

$v_{2}=v_{1}\times\sqrt{\dfrac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{2}=4800\times\sqrt{\dfrac{ 8.20\times10^{7}}{7.00\times10^{7}}}$

$v_{2}=5195.16\ m/s$

Hence, The orbital speed of this second satellite is 5195.16 m/s.

What is the relation between force and acceleration ?

stepladder [879]

Explanation:

Newton's second law shows that there is a direct relation ship between force and acceleration . the grater force that is applied on a object of given mass the more the accelerate. for example doubling the force in the object doubles it's acceleration.
