How many times does a typical person blink her eyes in a lifetime?

Short Answer

Expert verified

A human would blink 448,512,000 times in 80 years.

Step by step solution

01

Number of average blink per day

Here,

A normal person blinks on an average of16 timesper minute.

Hence for one day there are total of 24 hour. Which means there is 24 x 60 minutes

In one day 1440 minutes are there.

So the person blinks 1440 x 16 times in one day if he/ she is awake for 24 hours.

That is 23040 times per day.

If a person is awake four 16 hours per day than the number of blink will be

16 x 16 x 60

That is15360 blinksfor 16 hours.

02

Number of blinks in a year

A person would blink 5,606,400 times in a year on average and as an estimate.

If that person spends 16 hours a day awake. A human would blink 448,512,000 times in 80 years.

In an 80-year period, 448,512,000 x.03 seconds every blink = 13,455,360 seconds of blinking / 60 seconds per minute = 224,256 minutes / 60 minutes per hour = 3,737.6 hours / 24 hours a day = 155.73 days of darkness Blinking does not allow you to glimpse a half-year of your life.

The blink done by a person who is awake for 16 hour is 15360.

In one year 365 days are there so total blink

=15360 x 365

= 5606400 blinks per year

A human would blink 448,512,000 times in 80 years.

Most popular questions from this chapter

In an experiment involving the photoelectric effect, if the intensity of the incident light (having frequency higher than the threshold frequency) is reduced by a factor of 10 without changing anything else, which (if any) of the following statements about this process will be true? (a) The number of photoelectrons will most likely be reduced by a factor of 10. (b) The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons will most likely be reduced by a factor of 10. (c) The maximum speed of the ejected photoelectrons will most likely be reduced by a factor of 10. (d) The maximum speed of the ejected photoelectrons will most likely be reduced by a factor of 110. (e) The time for the first photoelectron to be ejected will be increased by a factor of 10.

In principle, does a hot gas have more mass than the same gas when it is cold? Explain. In practice, would this be a measurable effect? Explain.

Would you expect effects due to the photon nature of light to be generally more important at the low-frequency end of the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves) or at the high-frequency end (x rays and gamma rays)? Why?

Figure 40.15a shows that the higher the energy of a bound state for a finite potential well, the more the wave function extends outside the well (into the intervals x0 and xL). Explain why this happens.

There is a certain probability that a single electron may simultaneously absorb two identical photons from a high-intensity laser. How would such an occurrence affect the threshold frequency and the equations of Section 38.1? Explain.
