Explanation:

Visible light is a very part of electromagnetic spectrum. We can see the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The frequency and the wavelength has an inverse relationship.

For example, the red light has large wavelength and low frequency. Violet has a short wavelength and higher frequency.

The frequency range of visible region is from 400 nm to 700 nm.

The wavelength of the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum lies between $\boxed{400\,{\text{nm}} - 700\,{\text{nm}}}$ .

Further Explanation:

The Electromagnetic spectrum is the complete range of the electromagnetic radiation which expresses all the radiation starting from the Gamma rays to the radio waves. The electromagnetic spectrum is the detailed spectrum that explains all the electromagnetic radiations.

The electromagnetic radiations are the transverse waves which do not require any medium for their propagation. The electromagnetic waves can easily travel through space. All the electromagnetic radiations travel at the speed of light.

The different radiations in the electromagnetic spectrum are as follows:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet rays

Infrared rays

Micro waves

Radio waves

The wavelength and the frequency ranges for the different electromagnetic radiations is as shown in figure attached.

Therefore, the wavelength of the visible range of the light in the electromagnetic spectrum is $\boxed{400\,{\text{nm}} - 700\,{\text{nm}}}$ .

A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 600 K and 300 K. It drives a Carnot refrigerator, which provides cooling

KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

Formula for maximum efficiency of a Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{H_{1}}} = \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$ ..... (1)

And, formula for maximum efficiency of Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{C_{2}}} = \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ ...... (2)

Now, equating both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

$Q_{C_{2}} \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ = $Q_{H_{1}} \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$

$\gamma = \frac{Q_{C_{2}}}{Q_{H_{1}}}$

= $\frac{T_{C_{2}}}{T_{H_{1}}} (\frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}})$

= $\frac{250}{600} (\frac{(600 - 300)K}{300 K - 250 K})$

= 2.5

Thus, we can conclude that the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load") is 2.5.

A pharmacist attempts to weigh 100 milligrams of codeine sulfate on a balance with a sensitivity requirement of 4 milligrams. Ca

ira [324]

Answer:

4 %

2 ) 3.42 %

Explanation:

Sensitivity requirement of 4 milligram means it is not sensitive below 4 milligram or can not measure below 4 milligram .

Given , 4 milligram is the maximum error possible .

Measured weight = 100 milligram

So percentage maximum potential error

= (4 / 100) x 100

4 %

2 )

As per measurement

weight of 6 milliliters of water

= 48.540 - 42.745 = 5.795 gram

6 milliliters of water should measure 6 grams

Deviation = 6 - 5.795 = - 0.205 gram.

Percentage of error =(.205 / 6 )x 100

= 3.42 %

Diffraction

Explanation:

The phenomenon through which a beam of light spreads out after leaving the flashlight and the beam grows wider and wider is known as diffraction.

Diffraction is one of the characteristics of waves. It implies the ability of waves to bend round an obstacle. The photons of light are able to bend round obstructions and continue to infinity in space.

The rays grow bigger and bigger due to constructive interference of the waves along the way.
