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.

A 4.0 L container holds a sample of hydrogen gas at 306 K and 150 kPa. If the pressure increases to 300 kPa and the volume remai
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

612 K

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 306 K

Initial pressure (P₁) = 150 kPa

Final pressure (P₂) = 300 kPa

Volume = 4 L = constant

Final temperature (T₂) =?

Since the volume is constant, the final (i.e the new) temperature of the gas can be obtained as follow:

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

150 / 306 = 300 / T₂

Cross multiply

150 × T₂ = 306 × 300

150 × T₂ = 91800

Divide both side by 150

T₂ = 91800 / 150

T₂ = 612 K

Thus, the new temperature of the gas is 612 K
