Although most animals and some plants detect and respond to sound vibrations, the precise sensitivity that we call hearing is rare in the living world. It is highly developed only in birds and mammals, and the same operational system applies in all vertebrate auditory systems. Sound waves cause a liquid within the organism's auditory apparatus to vibrate. These vibrations are picked up by receptors that transmit signals to nerve cells. These cells then communicate the sound to the brain. Humans can hear vibrational frequencies of 20 to 20,000 cycles per second; cats respond to frequencies of up to 50,000 cycles per second; and porpoises and bats pick up frequencies of 100,000 cycles per second. Which statement does the passage support? OA. Ears are damaged by high frequencies. OB. Humans have the best hearing of all animals. OC. Cats and porpoises are adapted to hearing low frequencies. OD. Invertebrates have better "hearing" systems than vertebrates. E. Some frequencies are beyond the human hearing range. Question 15 of 190

The spectra that you observe are for approximately 1 x 1012 atoms. So it is likely, that with electronic excitation, many of the electronic energy levels will be readily populated. However, the higher energy levels will be less populated, so what does say about the intensity of the higher energy peaks? Is that observation consistent with the spectrum we measured with the spectrometer?

SOLVE STEP BY STEP IN DIGITAL FORMAT Explain the underlined paragraph, make it extensive and unambiguous, support its foundations in biochemistry and quantum mechanics. The sample substance used is 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH). This organic compound is a relatively stable free radical which has an unpaired valence electron at one atom of the nitrogen bridge. The orbital motion of the electron is almost cancelled by the molecular structure. Therefore the g-factor of the electron is almost equal to that of a free electron. In its polycrystalline form the substance is very well suited for demonstrating electron spin resonance because it has an intense ESR line, which, due to exchange narrowing, has a small width.
