The molecules in the rods and cones in the eye are turned to absorb photons of particular energies. The retinal molecule, like many molecules, is a long chain. Electrons can freely move along one stretch of the chain but are reflected at the ends, thus behaving like a particle in a one-dimensional box. The absorption of a photon lifts an electron from the ground state into the first excited state. Do the molecules in a red cone (which are turned to absorb red light) or the molecules in a blue cone (tuned to absorb blue light) have a longer "box"?

You want to move a heavy box with mass 30.0 kg across a carpeted floor. you pull hard on one of the edges of the box at an angle 30∘ above the horizontal with a force of magnitude 240 n, causing the box to move horizontally. the force of friction between the moving box and the floor has magnitude 41.5 n . what is the box's acceleration just after it begins to move
