A cancer or cancerous tumour on the skin as a result of extensive exposure to UV rays.

Physics
1 answer:
nekit [7.7K]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Almost all skin cancers (approximately 99% of non-melanoma skin cancers and 95% of melanoma) are caused by too much UV radiation from the sun or other sources such as solaria (solarium, sunbeds, and sun lamps).  

Explanation:

Skin cancer develops in the cells in the epidermis – the top or outer layer of the skin.  UV radiation is made up of UVA and UVB rays which are able to penetrate the skin and cause permanent damage to the cells below:

UVA penetrates deeply into the skin (the dermis) causing genetic damage to cells, photo-ageing (wrinkling, blotchiness etc) and immune-suppression.

UVB penetrates into the epidermis (top layer of the skin) causing damage to the cells. UVB is responsible for sunburn – a significant risk factor for skin cancer, especially melanoma.

If the body is unable to repair this damage the cell can begin to divide and grow in an uncontrolled way. This growth can eventually form a tumor.

UVA and UVB both contribute to sunburn, skin ageing, eye damage and melanoma and other skin cancers.

How can i calculate distances between objects by using the concepts of echo location
dangina [55]
Send wave from your location to the object and wait until echo is back.
Measure the time taken.

If you know the speed of wave (say sound wave), than just multiply by half time taken wave to return

Scientists studying an anomalous magnetic field find that it is inducing a circular electric field in a plane perpendicular to t
bija089 [108]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Scientists studying an anomalous magnetic field find that it is inducing a circular electric field in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. The electric field strength 1.5 m from the center of the circle is 7 mV/m.

At what rate is the magnetic field changing?

Answer:

the magnetic field changing at the rate of 9.33 m T/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Electric field E = 7 mV/m

radius r = 1.5 m

Now, from Faraday law of induction;

∫E.dl = d∅/dt

E∫dl = A( dB/dt )

E( 2πr ) = πr² ( dB/dt )

( 0.007 ) = (r/2) ( dB/dt )

( 0.007 ) = 0.75 ( dB/dt )

dB/dt = 0.007 / 0.75

dB/dt = 0.00933 T/s

dB/dt = ( 0.00933 × 1000) m T/s

dB/dt = 9.33 m T/s

Therefore, the magnetic field changing at the rate of 9.33 m T/s

Can concave lens be used to make hand lens .why?​
mario62 [17]

Answer:

No concave lens cannot be used to make hand lens because in hand Lens we use convex lens so as to converge the rays of the light After refraction and helps to produce a magnified image of an object.

Hope it will help you :)❤
