Answer : Amongst the given choices a weak beam of ultraviolet light is considered to be the worst as compared to others.

The wavelength of UV light is from 10 nm to 400 nm, and its energy varies from 3 eV to 124 eV.

As a single beam of UV light will have much energy in each photon which is emitted. The damage done by UV rays is observed to be very harmful in human cells and may cause many diseases. UV rays can also damage the eyes as more than 99% of UV radiation is absorbed by the front of the eyes. It can also lead to ultimate blindness. Therefore, it is considered to be much worse than an intense beam of infrared light.

How much energy is required to melt 35.4 g of gold?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

To determine the amount of heat the gold has absorbed to melt, we simply multiply the mass of the block of ice to the heat of fusion of water which is given above. We calculate as follows:

Heat = 20.0 g (35.4 g)

Heat = 1290 J

Boyles Law P1V1 = P2V2
arsen [322]

Answer:

A. The balloons will increase to twice their original volume.

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that the pressure exerted on a gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature. That is:

P ∝ 1/V

P = k/V

PV = k (constant)

P = pressure, V = volume.

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

Let the initial pressure of the balloon be P, i.e. P_1=P, initial volume be V, i.e. V_1=V. The pressure is then halved, i.e. P_2=\frac{P}{2}

P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\P*V=\frac{P}{2} *V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{2*P*V}{P}\\\\V_2=2V

Therefore the balloon volume will increase to twice their original volume.

Acid rain can be destructive to both the natural environment and human-made structures. The equation below shows a
guapka [62]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

What the equation is tell you is that for every 3 mols of NO2 you get 2 mol of HNO3

3 mol NO2 / 2 mol HNO2 ===> 300.00 mol NO2 / x   Cross multiply

3x = 2 * 300

3x = 600                 Divide by 3

3x/3 = 600/3           Do the division

x = 200.00
