Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Whether an acid is weak or strong it will cause harm if it comes in direct contact with the skin, eyes or mouth etc.

Thus, in order to prevent oneself, it is advised to wear a lab coat while working in laboratory as acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

Hence, a lab coat acts as a protective layer on the clothes so that even if acid falls on it then it might not reach the skin immediately and on time prevention can be taken.

Radiation emitted from human skin reaches its peak at λ = 960 µm. what is the frequency of this radiation? planck's constant is

Artist 52 [7]

1) The wavelength of the radiation emitted by the human skin is
$\lambda=960 \mu m = 960 \cdot 10^{-6} m$
the frequency of the radiation is related to the wavelength by
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}$
where $c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light. Plugging numbers into the formula, we find the frequency of the radiation:
$f= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{960 \cdot 10^{-6}m}=3.13 \cdot 10^{11} Hz$

2) The frequency of this radiation is 313 GHz, and its wavelength $960 \mu m$ . If we look at the table of the electromagnetic spectrum
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum
We see that we are in the range of visible light (in particular, in the infrared range).
Therefore, the correct answer is <span>2. visible light .</span>
