Why are gamma rays not affected by a magnet as they pass over it? gamma rays are composed of only energy. gamma rays do not have enough mass to be affected. gamma rays do not have the right electrical charge to be affected. gamma rays move too fast for anything to affect their pathway.
The human eye contains a molecule called 11-cis-retinal that changes shape when struck with light of sufficient energy. the change in shape triggers a series of events that results in an electrical signal being sent to the brain that results in vision. the minimum energy required to change the conformation of 11-cis-retinal within the eye is about 164 kj/mol.
