Rods and cones convert light to neural signals which the nervous system can use. ... The 100 million rods are locates in the retina away from the fovea, so they carry out peripheral vision ("side" vision towards the edge of the visual field). Figure 6 shows the distribution of rods and cones on the retina.
Answer:
D.
Hawthorne uses figurative language expertly throughout the story, “Beatrice darted forward, uttering a shriek that went through his heart like a dagger” (407).
Explanation:
The Modern Language Association (MLA) format for parenthetical citation holds that in-text citations must bear the page number as well as the direct quote from the author. These details are to be contained within the sentence before the final full stop at the end of the sentence. The last options meets this criteria, for it,
1. Has an introduction stating what the author did that is to be quoted.
2. Contains a direct quotation.
3. Has the page number inserted within the sentence.
The correct answer is tab.
Answer:
Visible Light Absorption
Atoms and molecules contain electrons. It is often useful to think of these electrons as being attached to the atoms by springs. The electrons and their attached springs have a tendency to vibrate at specific frequencies. Similar to a tuning fork or even a musical instrument, the electrons of atoms have a natural frequency at which they tend to vibrate. When a light wave with that same natural frequency impinges upon an atom, then the electrons of that atom will be set into vibrational motion. (This is merely another example of the resonance principle introduced in Unit 11 of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.) If a light wave of a given frequency strikes a material with electrons having the same vibrational frequencies, then those electrons will absorb the energy of the light wave and transform it into vibrational motion. During its vibration, the electrons interact with neighboring atoms in such a manner as to convert its vibrational energy into thermal energy. Subsequently, the light wave with that given frequency is absorbed by the object, never again to be released in the form of light. So the selective absorption of light by a particular material occurs because the selected frequency of the light wave matches the frequency at which electrons in the atoms of that material vibrate. Since different atoms and molecules have different natural frequencies of vibration, they will selectively absorb different frequencies of visible light.
