The vitreous humor, a transparent, gelatinous fluid that fills most of the eyeball, has an index of refraction of 1.34. visible light ranges in wavelength from 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red), as measured in air. this light travels through the vitreous humor and strikes the rods and cones at the surface of the retina. part a what are the ranges of the wavelength of the light just as it approaches the retina within the vitreous humor

An air-standard stirling cycle operates with a maximum pressure of 600 psia and a minimum pressure of 10 psia. the maximum volume of the air is 10 times the minimum volume. the temperature during the heat rejection process is 100°f. calculate the specific heat added to and rejected by this cycle, as well as the net specific work produced by the cycle. use constant specific heats at room temperature. the properties of air at room temperature are r

Sara is creating an experiment. her hypothesis states the following. if i increase the air in my tires, then i will get better gas mileage. if this is her hypothesis what column titles do we need in our date table? a. air pressure in tire (psi) and gas mileage (mph) b. air pressure in the atmosphere (psi) and gas mileage (mph) c. miles (m) and gallons per mile (g) d. old battery and new battery

We want to calculate the total metabolic heat generated by a singing canary taking into account heat transfer by radiation, convection and exhaling air. the air temperature is 20 oc, canary’s body internal and surface temperature is 33oc, external body surface convective heat transfer coefficient is 25.2 w/m2 .k, temperature difference between the inhaled and exhaled air is 4.3 oc, the ventilation rate is 0.74 cc of air per second, specific heat of air is 1.0066 kj/kg. k and density of air is 1.16 kg/m3 . assume the canary’s body to be a cylinder with 7 cm diameter and 9 cm length, and heat exchange is from the side as well as the top and bottom of cylinder. calculate 1) the net rate of heat lost by radiation, assuming heat gained by the bird through radiation from the surroundings is 11.5 w; 2) rate of heat transferred by convection to the surrounding air; 3) rate of heat transferred in the exhaling air without considering any internal evaporation; 4) total metabolic power.
