Summary Introduction

To determine: The maximum peak absorption for the receptor that detects near-ultraviolet light in relation to the other photoreceptors.

Introduction: Ultraviolet light (UV light) is a kind of electromagnetic radiation. Its wavelength ranges between 10 nm and 400 nm, which is usually longer than X-rays and shorter than that of visible light.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The wavelength of ultraviolet (UV) light is shorter than the blue light given in the figure. The peak absorption of the ultraviolet light would fall left to the peak absorption (which is, 420 nm) of the blue cone. According to the entire electromagnetic spectrum, the UV’s wavelength is between 10 nm and 400 nm. Therefore, the absorption peak that falls near 400 nm would be considered as the maximum absorption peak for “near-ultraviolet (NUV)”

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth. Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
