The answer is: Radial Keratotomy (RK).

Explanation:

  • Radial Keratotomy (RK) is a surgical procedure used to correct myopia (nearsightedness). In this procedure, a series of radial cuts are made in the cornea to flatten it, which helps to reduce the refractive error and improve vision.
  • Other procedures for treating myopia include LASIK and PRK, but these involve different techniques such as reshaping the cornea with a laser rather than making cuts to flatten it.

Dos cargas eléctricas puntuales q1 y q2 están separadas por una distancia r. ¿Cuáles de las siguientes afirmaciones son correctas con respecto a la energía potencial eléctrica del sistema? Hay dos alternativas correctas a identificar. Alternativas incorrectas descuentan 15% del puntaje de la pregunta. A Si aumentamos la distancia de separación entre las cargas entonces la energía potencial aumenta. (B) Si las dos cargas son negativas entonces la energía potencial eléctrica es positiva. (C) La energía potencial eléctrostática del sistema es U=ke q1 q2/r^2 (D) La energía potencial eléctrica es lo mismo que el potencial eléctrico. (E) La energía potencial eléctrostática del sistema es U=ke q1 q2/r
