If it is a multiple choice  question is C. Infrared waves do not carry enough energy to kill cancerous cells.
Sever21 [200]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Since infrared waves are of lesser energy so it do not have sufficient energy to break the cancer cells

Explanation:

As we know that if we arrange the electromagnetic waves in decreasing order of energy then it is as following

1) Gamma rays

2) X rays

3) Ultraviolet rays

4) Visible light

5) Infrared waves

6) Microwaves

7) Radio waves

so here since energy of infrared waves as even smaller then visible light so it is not used for the treatment of cancer cells

Explain why it is dangerous to jump from a fast moving train
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

When you jump off a train, you jump off a certain height and your downwards (vertical) velocity is zero. But your forward (horizontal) velocity is not. You will hit the ground on split second with your horizontal velocity practically the same as the train.

Explanation:

you be in serious injury.

You are standing 10 meters from a light source. Then, you back away from the light source until you are 20 meters away from it.
bogdanovich [222]
Inverse Square Law of Light states that light intensity falls off rapidly with distance from its source. T<span>he intensity varies with the square of the flash-to-subject distance.
 intensity at distance 1/intensity at distance 2=distance2^2/distance1^2
In our case, distance1=10m and distance2=20m, 20^2/10^2= 400/100=4, which means that t</span>he intensity of the wave<span> has increased by a factor of four.

A 6.0-cm-diameter, 11-cm-long cylinder contains 100 mg of oxygen (O2) at a pressure less than 1 atm. The cap on one end of the c
butalik [34]

Answer:

The temperature of the gas is 1197.02 K

Explanation:

From ideal gas law;

PV = nRT

Where;

P is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume of the gas

R is ideal gas constant = 8.314 L.kPa/mol.K

T is the temperature of the gas

n is the number of moles of gas

Volume of the gas in the cylindrical container = πr²h

Given;

r = 6/2 = 3 cm = 0.03 m

h = 11 cm = 0.11 m

V = π × (0.03)² × 0.11 = 3.11 × 10⁻⁴ m³ = 0.311 L

number of moles of oxygen gas = Reacting mass / molar mass

=\frac{0.1}{32} = 0.003125, moles

T = \frac{PV}{nR} = \frac{100X0.311}{0.003125X8.314} =1197.02K

Therefore, the temperature of the gas is 1197.02 K
