Answer:

For infrared and ultraviolet waves have different frequencies. Both types of wave can have harmful effects on human beings. Describe the harmful effects of infrared and ultraviolet waves, relating them to the frequencies of the waves. Medical studies indicate that prolonged IR exposure can lead to lens, cornea and retina damage, including cataracts, corneal ulcers and retinal burns, respectively. To help protect against long-term IR exposure, workers can wear products with IR filters or reflective coatings.When you look at the EM spectrum, UV waves are quite a bit smaller in wavelength than infrared, and x-rays/gamma rays are even smaller. Therefore, UV waves are probably causing more harm than infrared waves, and x-rays/gamma rays are probably doing even more damage.

15 Points , Physics HW, can someone please show me step by step how to calculate percent difference for this problem. My numbers

timofeeve [1]

The percent difference between two numbers $x$ and $y$ is given by

$\dfrac{|y-x|}x \times 100\%$

The absolute value is there because we only care about the absolute percent difference, and not taking into account whether we go from $x$ to $y$ or vice versa. If we remove them, we have two possible interpretations of percent difference.

For example, the (absolute) percent difference between 3 and 6 is

$\dfrac{|6-3|}3 \times 100\% = 100\%$

In other words, we add 100% of 3 to 3 to end up with 6. This is the same as the percent difference going from 3 to 6. On the other hand, the percent difference going from 6 to 3 is

$\dfrac{3-6}3\times100\%=-50\%$

which is to say, we take away 50% of 6 away from 6 to end up with 3.

"Make comparisons to object measurements" tells us that the differences should be computed relative to "measurements for object". In other words, take $x$ from the left column and $y$ from the right column.

$\dfrac{|7.1-7.3|}{7.1} \times 100\% \approx 2.82\%$
