The eyes of a reptille pass a visual signal what is minimum number of photons that must strike the receptor `(h = 6.6 xx 10^(-34))`? |
Answer» `E = (hc)/(lambda) = (6.6 xx 10^(-34) xx 3 xx 10^(8))/(850 xx 10^(-9)) = 2.3 xx 10^(-19) J` Energy required to trip signal `= 3.15 xx 10^(-14) J` `m xx E = E_(total)` photons that strike the recptor are `n = (3.15 xx 10^(-16))/(2.5 xx 10^(-19)) = 1.37 xx 10^(5)` photrons |
