Answer:
The furnace releases 1757280 J 

Explanation:
We will do the conversion on two steps:
1- convert the kcal to cal
2- convert the cal to J

Step 1: converting kcal to cal
1 kcal is equivalent to 1000 cal. Therefore:
420 kcal is equivalent to 420*1000 = 420000 cal

Step 2: converting cal to J
We are given that:
<span>1 cal = 4.184 J
</span>Therefore:
420000 cal is equivalent to 420000 * 4.184 = 1757280 J 

Hope this helps :)

This is because, the degree of diffraction depend on the wavelength of light and light color with shorter wavelength are diffracted at a larger angle than those with longer wavelengths. The wavelength of the yellow color is much more smaller than that of the red color.
