Is emmetropia farsightedness?

Emmetropia is when light is focused exactly on the retina and vision is perfect. Farsightedness is called hyperopia. This condition occurs when the eyeball is smaller than normal and light rays from near objects do not focus properly on the retina at the back of the eye. A person with hyperopia can see distant objects more clearly than closer objects.


If a plant gets light from only one direction the shoots would likely do what?

The plant needs light to grow. So, the shoot has a tendency to grow towards the direction of light to receive more of it. The above result can be obtained by a simple school project involving growing of common beans in a cup, and keeping it in a shoe box with only one hole in the corner for light to enter.


Why are thick or dense smears less likey to provide a good smear preparation for microscopic evaluation?

Denser smears provide more obstacles for the light going through the sample, making the cells or objects you're observing more difficult to see.


What is a compound microscope?

The term compound microscope normally refers to a light microscope that uses two or more lenses to magnify objects. (Two lenses does not refer to the number of eye pieces as does the term binocular microscope.) This is to be distinguished from a simple light microscope with a single lens. There are many modern variations of the light microscope which have more specialized names but which may still be "compound" with the meaning that they have multiple stages of magnification.


Do owls have more cones or rod cells?

Night birds like owl have large number of rod and only a few cones. As on the other hand day light birds like kite, eagle etc have more cones and rods.

Why do dark colors heat up more than light colors?

They have a lower "albedo" if you will. Light objects reflect light at a greater rate than dark objects which absorb it. This is why dark objects heat up more than light ones.


What are the advantages of using a magnifying glass that is foldable with bult in light?

When the object under observation is well lit, then you can view it more clearly. Some objects which you want to observe under magnifying glass, may not have been well lit naturally. Magnifying glass with lights will help look at it more clearly.


Why are objects seen more clearly in a distance after rain?

This is because the dust particles are removed after rain


How does collecting area affect the ability to see faint objects?

More collecting area means that more light is collected. This allows seeing fainter objects - objects that emit less light, from which we receive less light per unit area.


What behaviors of light enables magnifying glasses and contact lenses to bend light rays and help people see more clearly?

The ability to make images bigger is called refraction which bends light. Magnifying glasses help make objects bigger so they use refraction.


Why do light coloured objects reflect radiation more than dark coloured objects?

Because dark colours absorbs light, and energy;and its named absortion coefficient. ============================== Some substances and objects made from them reflect more light and absorb less. Other substances and objects made from them reflect less light and absorb more. The ones that reflect more and absorb less are the ones that appear lighter to us. Why ? Because they absorb less light and reflect more of it toward our eyes.


What happens to light energy when it is absorbed by an opaque object?

Since the object appears violet to your eye, it must be that violet light is the wavelength most efficiently reflected ... least efficiently absorbed ... by the object. To a greater or lesser degree, all wavelengths that are not reflected from the object are absorbed by it.


What can you infer about objeacts that sink or float in water?

Objects that Float in water are less dense than water. Objects that sink are more dense than water. More clearly stated Objects that sink displace less water than their weight of equal measure.
