Which best explains why infrared waves are ineffective for treating cancer? They have frequencies that are too high to kill canc

er cells. They have short wavelengths, which can be harmful to healthy cells. They do not transfer enough energy to destroy cancer cells. They have long wavelengths, which can be harmful to healthy cells.

Infrared waves are ineffective for treating cancer because they do not transfer enough energy to destroy cancer cells.

<h3>Importance of high frequency waves</h3>

One of the uses of a high frequency wave is in the treatment of cancer. These high frequency waves transfer enough energy to destroy the cancer cells.

E = hf

where;

  • f is frequency of the wave

Infrareds have low frequency, and hence low energy.

Thus, infrared waves are ineffective for treating cancer because they do not transfer enough energy to destroy cancer cells.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

f_{e}  = 1.9 cm

Explanation:

The magnification of a microscope is the product of the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnifier with the objective

    M = M₀ m_{e}

Where M₀ is the magnification of the objective and  m_{e} is the magnification of the eyepiece.

The eyepiece is focused to the near vision point (d = 25 cm)

       m_{e} = 25 /  f_{e}

The objective is focused on the distances of the tube (L)

     M₀ = -L / f₀

Substituting

     M = - L/f₀    25/f_{e}  

1) Let's look for the focal length of the eyepiece (faith)

     f_{e}  = - L 25 / f₀ M

     M = 400X = -400

     f_{e}  = - 12 25 /0.40 (-400)

     f_{e}  = 1.875 cm

Let's approximate two significant figures

    f_{e}  = 1.9 cm

Light could be thought of as a stream of tiny particles discharged by _______ objects that travel in straight paths. *
Gelneren [198K]

Answer: Light could be thought of as a stream of tiny particles discharged by luminous objects that travel in straight paths.

Explanation:

We can define "radiation" as the transmision of energy trough waves or particles.

Particularly, light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, so the "tiny particles" of light are discharged by a radiating object, particularly we can be more explicit and call it a luminous object, in this way we are being specific about the nature of the radiation of the object.

Identify the areas on the image where the force of repulsion is the least.​
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The central blue square in between the lower pair of magnet has the least force of repulsion.

Explanation:

We can explain this using the dual nature of magnets.

Each magnet must have two poles namely:

-North pole

-South pole

We assume that the magnetic lines of forces enters from south pole and leaves from the north pole.

When brought together, like poles repel each other while opposite poles attract each other.

In the picture, the lower two magnets have opposite poles facing each other, hence the force of repulsion is minimum there and the force of attraction is maximum.

The physical phenomenon that MRI is based on does not depend on ionizing radiation, but on other properties of atoms instead. Wh
hammer [34]

This phenomenon is called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.

When I met my future wife, she was working in the medical research building next door to the communications building where I worked. (We shared a parking lot.) MRI was not a thing yet, and she was doing research in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. I learned a lot about it when I walked next door to visit her in her lab. Strange as it may seem, several years earlier, her older brother was involved in the invention of the CAT scan. When we got married, I figured that our kids had at least a 50% chance of inheriting some brains. So we had some, and they've done OK.
