Interpretation:
Whether a tiny ant can be seen by optical microscope but not by human eye or not should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Objects are categorized on the basis of size range they fall in. Macroscopic objects are those which lie in the size range that human eye can perceive and microscopic objects are those which need the use of specialized instruments like electron microscope or atomic force microscope.
Human eye can detect approximately up to the size of

- The sodium D lines from a sodium lamp consist primarily of a doublet at 589.5 and 589.0 nm. Suppose we can obtain a grating with 500 lines/cm of any size we choose. How long (in cm) should the grating be required to separate the two sodium lines in the first order? Suppose the full length of the grating is illuminated. Respond with the correct number of significant figures in scientific notation (Use E notation and only 1 digit before decimal e.g. 2.5E5 for 2.5 x 105) Type your numeric answer and submit 2.96E3 Hint R= lambda/Deta lambda=nLM N=1 for the strongest signals X You are incorrectarrow_forwardHow many nL are there in (3.67x10^3) cLarrow_forward23.

- In science it is often useful to estimate if a measurement is "in the right ballpark" by comparing it to a value that you already know. Given that the number of stars in the Milky Way is 100–400 billion and it is likely that most of the stars have at least one planet, what is the best estimate of the number of planets in the Milky Way?arrow_forwardsmoke particles in air typically have masses of the order of 10^-16 kg. The rapid, irregular motions of these particles caused by collisions with air molecules can be observed with a microscope. Assume a particular type of smoke particle has a mass of 3.00 x10^-16 kg and is in a room with a temperature of 300 K. a) if instead you were considering a hydrogen gas molecule (m= 3.34x10^-26 kg) at 300 K, would the average translational kinetic energy be larger than, smaller than or equal to that of the smoke particle? b) would the rms speed of the hydrogen atom be larger than, smaller than, or equal to that of the smoke particle?arrow_forwardChoose the selection which most accurately gives both the value of the angle numbered 1 and the value of the angle numbered 2 in the figure above. Choose the best possible (most specific) answer. Other answers will be graded wrong. For example, if an angle is somewhat greater than 109.5 degrees, an answer which says that it is somewhat less than 120 degrees, while somewhat correct, will be graded wrong. a) Angle 1 is very close to 180 degrees and angle 2 is very close to 90 degrees. b) Angle 1 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees and angle 2 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees. c) Angle 1 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees and angle 2 is very close to 90 degrees. d) Angle 1 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees and angle 2 is somewhat less than 120 degrees. e) Angle 1 is somewhat more than 109.5 degrees and angle 2 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees.arrow_forward
