Answer:

100nm-280nm

Explanation:

Ultraviolet rays (UV) are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It goes from 10nm to 400nm wavelengths, they are shorter than visible light, thus it's impossible to see by a human eye, and larger than X-rays (used in many medical applications and harmful when long-exposed).

According to its wavelengths, UV can be divided in different types:

UVA: long wave UV (315nm-400nm)

UVB: medium-wave UV (280nm-315nm)

UVC: short wave UV (100nm-280nm)

Therefore, UVC comprises wavelengths between 10nm and 280nm.

Bright and dark fringes are seen on a screen when light from a single source reaches two narrow slits a short distance apart. Th
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the thickness of the film is t and the refractive index of the material of film is n.

When light travels through a sheet of thickness t, the optical path traveled is nt.

When the path of one of slit is covered by a sheet of thickness t, the optical path becomes

x = ( n - 1) t

As the one fringe is shift, so the optical path changed by one wavelength.

i.e., x = λ

So, λ = ( n - 1) t

t=\frac{\lambda }{n-1}

What happens to infrared radiation when it comes to contact wih a shiny suface
Ksivusya [100]

If a surface looks "shiny" to you, that's because it reflects all
or most of the visible light that hits it.  That doesn't always mean
that the same surface reflects other, non-visible wavelengths of
light.  Infrared radiation may also reflect off of it, and probably
does.  But you can't be sure just because it's visibly shiny.

A "570-W" electric heater is designed to operate from 120-V lines. What current does it draw? If the line voltage drops to 110 V
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Watts=Volt*Amps

So A=570/120=4.75amps

If voltage drops to 110V We get A=570/110=5.(18...)amps
