Parts of a neuron : a - nucleus, b - cell body, c- dendrite, d-axon, e-nerve ending.
(1) Information acquired at the end of the dendrite tip (c) of a nerve cell.
( 2 ) Information travels through dendrite, cell body and along the axon
(d) to its end as an electrical impulse.
(3) At synapse, this impulse is converted into a chemical signal for onward transmission.

In problems involving electromagenetism it is often convenlent and informative to express answers in terms of a constant, alpha , which is a combination of the Coulomb constant, k_(e) = 1//4piepsi_(0) , the charge of the electron, e, and h = h//2 , h being Planck's constant. For instant, the lowest energy that a hydrogen atom can have is given by E = 1//2 alpha^(2) mc^(2) , wherer m is the mass of the electron and c is the speed of light. Which of the following is the correct expression for alpha ? (HINt : non-relativistic kinetic energy is 1//2 mv^(2) , where v is speed.)

An electromagnetic wave can be represented by E = A sin (kx- omega t + phi) , where E is electric field associated with wave, According this equation, for any value of x, E remains sinusoidal for -oolt t lt oo . Obviously this corresponds to an idealised situation because radiation from ordinary sources consists of finite size wavetrains. In general, electric field remains sinusoidal only for times of order tau_(c) ' which is called coherence time. In simpler language it means that for times of order tau_(c)' a wave will have a definite phase. The finite value of coherence time could be due to many factors, for example if radiating atom undergoes collision with another atom then wave train undergoes an abrupt phase change or due to the fact that an atom responsible for emitting radiation has a finite life time in the energy level from which it drops to lower energy level, while radiating. Concept of coherence time can be easily understood using young's double slit experiment. Let interference patten is observed around point P at time t , due to superposition of waves emanting from S_(1) and S_(2) at times t =(r_(1))/(c) and (r_(2))/(c) respectively, where r_(1) and r_(2) are the distances S_(1) P & S_(2)P . Obviously if (r_(2)-r_(1))/(c) lt lt tau_(e),{"where" " "c = 3xx10^(8)m//s} then, wavetrain arriving at point P from S_(1) & S_(2) will have a definite phase relationship and an interference pattern of good contranst will be obtained. If coherence time is of order 10^(-10) second and screen is placed at a very large distance from slits in the given figure, then:-
