Answer:

It pushes food through the GI tract. The inside of GI tract is lined with mucous membranes. Mucous membranes are moist tissues that can secrete and absorb substances. The ability to secrete and absorb substances is necessary for the functions of the digestive system.

Lasers are now used in eye surgery. Given the wavelength of a certain laser is 514 nm and the power of the laser is 1.1 W, how m

Answer: $1.593*10^{17} photons$ released if the laser is used 0.056 s during the surgery

Explanation:

First, you have to calculate the energy of each photon according to Einstein's theoty, given by:

$E =\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

Where $\lambda$ is the wavelength, $h$ is the Planck's constant and $h$ is the speed of light

$h = 6.626*10^{-34} \frac{m^{2} kg }{s}$ -> Planck's constant

$c = 3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}$ -> Speed of light

So, replacing in the equation:

$E =\frac{ 6.626*10^{-34} \frac{m^{2} kg }{s}*3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}}{514*10^-9 m}$

Then, the energy of each released photon by the laser is:

$E = 3.867*10^{-19} \frac{J}{photons}$

After, you do the inverse of the energy per phothon and as a result, you will have the number of photons in a Joule of energy:

$\frac{1}{3.867*10^{-19}} = 2.586*10^{18} \frac{photons}{J}$

The power of the laser is 1.1 W, or 1.1 J/s, that means that you can calculate how many photons the laser realease every second:

$2.586*10^{18}\frac{photons}{J} * 1.1 \frac{J}{s} = 2.844*10^{18} \frac{photons}{s}$

And by doing a simple rule of three, if $2.844*10^{18} photons$ are released every second, then in 0.056 s:

$0.056 s*2.844*10^{18} \frac{photons}{s} = 1.593*10^{17} photons$ are released during the surgery
