Answer:

The correct answer is option E, that is, toxic epidermal necrolysis.

Explanation:

The painful exfoliation of the mucous membranes and the skin two weeks after starting allopurinol indicates Toxic Epidermal Syndrome. A potentially life-threatening dermatologic ailment featured by widespread necrosis, erythema, and bullous detachment of the mucous membranes and epidermis is known as the toxic epidermal necrolysis. The further leads to exfoliation, and possible death or sepsis.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

A higher frequency causes a shorter wavelength and higher energy.

A shorter frequency causes a greater wavelength and low energy.

Explanation:

Frequency is the number of waves that move at a period of time. It is measured by counting the number of crest point.

Wavelength is the distance between waves. A wave with higher frequency have crest that a very close and therefore the distance between them or wavelength is short compare to a wave with low frequency that the distance are farther apart and they have long wavelength. Therefore to generate high frequency of wave , more energy is required to do this .
