Answer:

There are about six to seven million cones in a human eye and are most concentrated towards the macula. Cones are less sensitive to light than the rod cells in the retina (which support vision at low light levels), but allow the perception of color.

when an object moves with constant velocity, does its average velocity during any time interval differ from its instataneous vel

BigorU [14]

For a constant-velocity object, the average and instantaneous are the same. So the answer is no. It's like taking a running average of a string of numbers that are all the same number. The average is always the sum of the numbers divided by how many have accumulated, which will always equate to the repeated number.

Which of the following is a characteristic of electromagnetic waves?

fomenos

Answer:

They have a dual wave-particle nature.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (in fact, they are also classified as transverse waves).

Electromagnetic waves have a wave nature, however they also have particle nature - in fact, it has been proved in some experiment (e.g. photoelectric effect) that in some conditions they act as packets of particles - called photons. Therefore, the option

They have a dual wave-particle nature.

is correct.

Other options are wrong because:

They are all invisible. --> False because visible light (which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so they are electromagnetic waves) is visible

They can only travel without a medium. --> False because they can also travel in a vacuum

They are slower than sound waves. --> False because they travel much faster (they travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ , while sound travels at 343 m/s in air, for instance)
