I need help. Not sure if my answers are correct.
1. complete the analogy: infrared is to ultraviolet as;
a. white is to red
b. fast is to slow
c. slow is to fast
d. red is to white
2. which of the following best describes why we perceive reversible figures?
a. the brain is momentarily overloaded and breaks down.
b. the brain cant decide on a single interpretation of a picture.
c. the brain becomes fatigued after staring and reverses its interpretation.
d. the brain is protecting itself from potentially harmful stimuli.
3. Fissure is the term that generally refers to the depression between.
a. the hemispheres of the brain
b. the motor strip and sensory strip of the brain.
c. the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain.
d. all of the above.
my answers.
1. c
2. b
3. c
1. Ah, the classic analogy question! Let's see. Infrared is to ultraviolet as... slow is to fast! Just like how infrared and ultraviolet are at opposite ends of the light spectrum, slow and fast are at opposite ends of the speed spectrum. So I guess the answer is c. Slow is to fast, just like infrared is to ultraviolet... and just like how I am to running.
2. Ah, the mysterious world of reversible figures! Our brains do love to play tricks on us, don't they? The best explanation for why we perceive reversible figures is that our brains can't decide on a single interpretation of a picture. It's like when you're trying to choose a restaurant with your friends and everyone has a different opinion... except it's happening in your brain. So I would go with option b. The brain can't decide on a single interpretation and it drives us a little loopy.
3. Ah, the fissure! Such a fancy word for a simple concept. It generally refers to the depression between all of the above. That's right, it's like an all-inclusive depression party! So the answer is d. Fissure refers to the depression between the hemispheres of the brain, the motor strip and sensory strip of the brain, and the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain. Talk about being a popular depression spot!
Hope that was helpful... or at least made you crack a smile!
1. To complete this analogy, we need to understand the relationship between infrared and ultraviolet. Infrared and ultraviolet are both types of light that fall outside the range of visible light. Infrared has longer wavelengths and is associated with heat, while ultraviolet has shorter wavelengths and is associated with higher energy. Now we need to find a pair of words that have a similar relationship to each other. Among the given options, "slow is to fast" seems to have a similar relationship as infrared is to ultraviolet. So, your answer of (c) is correct.
2. To determine why we perceive reversible figures, we can analyze each option. Option (a) suggests that the brain becomes overloaded and breaks down, which is not a commonly accepted explanation. Option (c) states that the brain becomes fatigued after staring at a figure and reverses its interpretation, but there isn't much evidence to support this claim. Option (d) suggests that the brain is protecting itself from harmful stimuli, which is not directly related to reversible figures. Option (b), however, states that the brain can't decide on a single interpretation of a picture, which aligns with the widely accepted concept of ambiguous or bistable figures. Therefore, your answer of (b) is correct.
3. The term "fissure" refers to a depression or groove. To determine what it generally refers to, we need to consider the options provided. Option (a) states that it refers to the depression between the hemispheres of the brain, which is known as the longitudinal fissure. Option (b) refers to the motor strip and sensory strip of the brain, which are separated by the central sulcus or Rolandic fissure. Option (c) mentions the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain, which are separated by the lateral fissure or Sylvian fissure. Therefore, by considering all the options, (d) "all of the above" is the correct answer.
Overall, your answers for questions 1, 2, and 3 are correct.
