Which of the following is true about photoreceptors?

a. if all cones are stimulated equally, all colors are absorbed by the cones and the color perceived is black.
b. rods absorb light throughout the visual spectrum but confer only gray tone vision.
c. in dim light, images are focused directly on the rods in the fovea centralis.
d. three types of color-sensitive photoreceptors exist: red, green, and yellow.

Na food processing facility, a spherical container of inner radius r1 5 40 cm, outer radius r2 5 41 cm, and ther- mal conductivity k 5 1.5 w/m · k is used to store hot water and to keep it at 100°c at all times. to accomplish this, the outer surface of the container is wrapped with a 800-w electric strip heater and then insulated. the temperature of the inner surface of the container is observed to be nearly 120°c at all times. as- suming 10 percent of the heat generated in the heater is lost through the insulation, (a) express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for steady one-dimensional heat conduction through the container, (b) obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the container material by solving the differential equation, and (c) evaluate the outer surface tempera- ture of the container. also determine how much water at 100°c this tank can supply steadily if the cold water enters at 20°c.

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

Which of these statements is true? a. quarks pair with leptons to form protons and neutrons. b. quarks pair with bosons to form photons. c. quarks pair with photons to form protons and neutrons. d. quarks pair with other quarks to form protons and neutrons. e. quarks pair with electrons to form protons.
