Question
Chapter 26, Problem 59A
To determine
To explain:Whether the eye of the aliens are larger or smaller eyes than us if the alien’s ayes is sensitive to microwave.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 59A
Theeyes of the aliens are smaller than us.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Microwaves are a form of
The alien eyes are very sensitive to microwaves. That means they can receive even weak signal. The weak signals can be collected and focused only if the surface area is very large. Thus, one can expect that the eyes of the alien would be larger than eyes of the human being.
Conclusion:
Hence, the eyes of the aliens are smaller than us.
