What are sensitive to change in the intensity of light energy'?

photoreceptors


Why the rate of transfer of energy in the solar cell changes through out the day?

because the sunlight intensity changes


How does the sensory receptors act as transducers?

sensory receptors detect changes(light levels, pressure on skin) in our surroundings. they convert one form of energy into another particular form of energy.


What changes when the intensity the brightness of a light wave changes?

When the intensity of light changes, the number of photons in the beam increases. Keep in mind the beam has larger photon population, but the energy of individual photon is unchanged. The photons only increased in number.


What is the wave in which amplitude changes to create sound?

The wave in which amplitude changes to create sound is a sound wave. The intensity of the wave will be changed by energy.


What physical law describes the manner in which the intensity of sunlight changes as the observer moves away from the sun?

The Conservation of Energy or power Law. This gives the inverse distance law of Intensity: Intensity on Earth = intensity on sun (radius/sun distance to earth)2 .


How does the amplitude affect the energy of a wave?

The intensity will increase if the energy increase. The intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude of a wave.


Does light intensity affect electrical energy?

The more electrical energy there is there is more power or wattage which means that the light intensity is higher if there is more electrical energy.


A measure of a waves energy?

Intensity


What form of energy do all receptors output?

Chemical


What property of a wave is affected by the amount of energy transported?

Intensity of sound is affected. Intensity is the amount of sound energy passing in unit time. Higher intensity sounds can travel longer distances.


What are the brain stimulus receptors?

Brain stimulus receptors are considered "selective transducers" by physiologists. The reason that they are referred to as this is that the receptors convert certain information by turning it to energy.
