Many reasons are involved in this combination. First, as bone cancer is not easy to determine, doctors may have to use biopsy to have a first look, but it needs to be paired with x rays and different scnas to confirm and do it more acurately. Some bone infection may cause symptoms and imaging results that could be confused with bone cancer.Have in mind that <span>bone metastases can usually be diagnosed based on x-rays and other imaging tests.A combination of all the scans and X rays can help to detect bone cancer in different places of the body, as every method can show tumors in specific parts of the skeleton. </span>

A plate glass window (n = 1.5) has a thickness of 4.5 mm. how long does it take light to pass perpendicularly through the plate?
nirvana33 [79]

The solution to this is to use the n = c / v equation

Where:

c is the speed of light: 3x10^8; and

The idea that v = m/s

So plug in the m/s for v in the n = c v equation and you will get:

1.5 = (3 x 10 ^ 8)/ ((4.5m)/s))

Therefore, the time should be 2.25 x 10 ^ -10 seconds.

What type of information is being presented by a scientist who has a reason for presenting information a certain way?
max2010maxim [7]
The type of information you are looking for is called confirmation/confirmatory biased information. (If I am misunderstanding the question, please correct me) Scientists sometimes skew the results or lie about the results in order to support their own personal beliefs or goals.
