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

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns your toes.

II) When you get into a car with hot black leather in the middle of the summer and your skin starts to get burned.

Explanation:

In conduction mode of heat transfer we know that the energy is transferred from one system to other system due to direct contact of two bodies

Here due to this direct contact the energy is transferred via a given solid or liquid medium

In this type of heat transfer medium particles will remain in its own position only the energy is transferred.

So here we can say the correct answer will be

I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns your toes.

II) When you get into a car with hot black leather in the middle of the summer and your skin starts to get burned.

Two cylinders each contain 0.30 mol of a diatomic gas at 320 K and a pressure of 3.0 atm. Cylinder A expands isothermally and cy

Svetllana [295]

Answer :

(a). The final temperature of the gas in the cylinder A is 320 K.

(b). The final temperature of the gas in the cylinder B is 233.7 K.

(c). The final volume of the gas in the cylinder A is $7.86\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

(d). The final volume of the gas in the cylinder B is $5.7\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

Explanation :

Given that,

Number of mole n = 0.30 mol

Initial temperature = 320 K

Pressure = 3.0 atm

Final pressure = 1.0 atm

We need to calculate the initial volume

Using formula of ideal gas

$P_{1}V_{1}=nRT$

$V_{1}=\dfrac{nRT}{P_{1}}$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{1}=\dfrac{0.30\times8.314\times320}{3.039\times10^{5}}$

$V_{1}=2.62\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

(a). We need to calculate the final temperature of the gas in the cylinder A

Using formula of ideal gas

In isothermally, the temperature is not change.

So, the final temperature of the gas in the cylinder A is 320 K.

(b). We need to calculate the final temperature of the gas in the cylinder B

Using formula of ideal gas

$T_{2}=T_{1}\times(\dfrac{P_{1}}{P_{2}})^{\frac{1}{\gamma}-1}$

Put the value into the formula

$T_{2}=320\times(\dfrac{3}{1})^{\frac{1}{1.4}-1}$

$T_{2}=233.7\ K$

(c). We need to calculate the final volume of the gas in the cylinder A

Using formula of volume of the gas

$P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}$

$V_{2}=\dfrac{P_{1}V_{1}}{P_{2}}$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{2}=\dfrac{3\times2.62\times10^{-3}}{1}$

$V_{2}=0.00786\ m^3$

$V_{2}=7.86\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

(d). We need to calculate the final volume of the gas in the cylinder B

Using formula of volume of the gas

$V_{2}=V_{1}(\dfrac{P_{1}}{P_{2}})^{\frac{1}{\gamma}}$

$V_{2}=2.62\times10^{-3}\times(\dfrac{3}{1})^{\frac{1}{1.4}}$

$V_{2}=0.0057\ m^3$

$V_{2}=5.7\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

Hence, (a). The final temperature of the gas in the cylinder A is 320 K.

(b). The final temperature of the gas in the cylinder B is 233.7 K.

(c). The final volume of the gas in the cylinder A is $7.86\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

(d). The final volume of the gas in the cylinder B is $5.7\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

Explain why objects moving in fluids must have special shapes ?

Alexus [3.1K]

Explanation:

Fluids exert both drag and lift forces on moving objects. Drag is the frictional force opposing motion. Lift is the force perpendicular to motion.

Some objects, like parachutes, are designed with large cross sectional areas to increase drag force. Usually though, objects are designed to minimize drag force. It's why cars, planes, and boats have sleek shapes.

Airplane wings have shapes called airfoils that generate lift. It's what makes them fly. The same shape is found in racecar spoilers. These spoilers use lift force to push down on the rear tires, increasing traction.

Suppose an object is launched from a point 320 feet above the earth with an initial velocity of 128 ft/sec upward, and the only

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

(a)Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =576 ft .

(b)Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.

Explanation:

Initial velocity: Initial velocity is a velocity from which an object starts to move.

u is usually used for notation of initial notation.

Final velocity: Final velocity is a velocity of an object after certain second from starting.

The final velocity is denoted by v.

Acceleration: The difference of final velocity and initial velocity per unit time

The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

(a)

Given that u= 128 ft\sec and g = 32 ft/sec².

At highest point the velocity of the object is 0 i.e v=0

Since the displacement is opposite to the gravity.

Therefore acceleration( a)= -g = -32 ft/sec².

To find the time this to happen we use the following formula

$v=u+at$

Here v=0

⇒0=128+(-32) t

⇒32t=128

⇒t = 4 sec

To determine the height we use the following formula

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

$\Rightarrow s= (128\times4)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-32) \times4^2$

⇒s= 256 ft

Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =(320+256)ft=576 ft .

(b)

At the highest point the velocity of the object is 0.

so u=0. a=g= 32 ft/sec² [ since the direction of gravity and the displacement are same] s= 576 ft

To determine the time to fall we use the following formula

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

$\Rightarrow 576 = (0\times t)+\frac{1}{2} \times 32 \times t^2$

$\Rightarrow 16\times t^2=576$

$\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{576}{16}$

$\Rightarrow t^2=36$

⇒t=6 sec

Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.

choli [55]

Answer:

A. Measurements are made with tools; observations are not

Explanation:

Measurement: the assignment of numbers or codes according to prior-set rules.

Observation: data from an individual study subject or sampled unit.

Measurement error: differences between "true" answers and what appears on data collection instruments
