The mouthpart adapted for piercing and sucking is found in the mosquito. Mosquitoes have a specialized mouth structure called a proboscis. This proboscis is long and slender, allowing mosquitoes to puncture the skin of their hosts and suck blood. The proboscis is a complex structure that contains several needle-like parts that make the piercing and sucking process efficient and effective.

To calculate the speed of the wave, we need to understand some fundamental wave properties: **wavelength**, **frequency**, and **wave speed**.

1. **Wavelength (\( \lambda \))**: The wavelength is the distance between two successive crests of a wave. In this case, the wavelength is given as **0.25 meters**.

2. **Frequency (\( f \))**: Frequency is the number of complete oscillations or cycles that occur per second. It is given that a particle on the surface of the water makes **four complete vertical oscillations in one second**. So, the frequency is **4 Hz (hertz)**.

3. **Wave Speed (\( v \))**: The speed of a wave is calculated using the formula:

\( v = f \times \lambda \)

Where:

\( v \) is the wave speed,

\( f \) is the frequency, and

\( \lambda \) is the wavelength.

Substitute the given values into the formula:

\( v = 4 \text{ Hz} \times 0.25 \text{ m} \)

\( v = 1 \text{ m/s} \)

Therefore, the **speed of the wave** is 1 m/s.

The average translational kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly related to the temperature of the gas. This relationship is based on the principles of kinetic molecular theory, which explains the behavior of gas molecules in terms of their motion.

Let's break this down simply:

1. Temperature and Kinetic Energy:

The average translational kinetic energy of gas molecules is given by the equation:

\( KE_{avg} = \frac{3}{2} k_B T \)

where \( KE_{avg} \) is the average translational kinetic energy, \( k_B \) is the Boltzmann constant, and \( T \) is the absolute temperature in Kelvin. This formula shows that the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature.

2. What This Means:

As the temperature of a gas increases, the molecules move faster, which increases their translational kinetic energy. Conversely, as the temperature decreases, the molecules slow down, resulting in lower kinetic energy.

It is important to note that this relation is independent of the pressure and the number of moles of the gas. While pressure and the number of moles do affect the overall behavior of a gas, they do not directly influence the average translational kinetic energy of individual molecules.

Therefore, the correct explanation is that the average translational kinetic energy of gas molecules depends on temperature only.

To calculate the electric field intensity due to a charge, we need to use the formula:

Electric Field Intensity (E) = Force (F) / Charge (q)

In this problem, we are given that the force (F) is 8 Newtons (N) and the charge (q) is 4 microcoulombs (μC). First, we need to convert the charge from microcoulombs to coulombs:

1 microcoulomb (μC) = 1 x 10^-6 coulombs (C)

Therefore, 4 μC = 4 x 10^-6 C.

Now we can use the formula to find the electric field intensity:

E = F / q

E = 8 N / (4 x 10^-6 C)

E = 8 / 4 x 10⁶

E = 2 x 10⁶

Thus, the value of the electric field intensity is 2 x 10⁶ N/C.

The formation of cilia and flagella in living cells is primarily carried out with the help of **centrioles**.

Here's a simple explanation:

Centrioles are cylindrical structures made up of microtubules. They are found in eukaryotic cells and play a critical role in cell division and the organization of the cell's cytoskeleton. However, their role extends beyond this to the formation of the basal bodies which seed the growth of cilia and flagella.

Cilia and flagella are microscopic, hair-like structures that protrude from the surface of certain eukaryotic cells. They are primarily involved in movement. Cilia often work like tiny oars, moving fluid across the cell's surface or propelling single-celled organisms. Flagella are typically longer and move in a whip-like fashion to propel cells, such as sperm cells.

Here's how centrioles contribute to the formation of these structures:

1. **Basal Body Formation**: Each cilium or flagellum grows out from a structure known as a basal body. The basal body is derived from the centrioles. During this process, a centriole migrates to the cell's surface and acts as a nucleation site for the growth of microtubules, which in turn form the structural core of cilia and flagella.

2. **Microtubule Organization**: The centrioles help organize microtubules in a "9+2" arrangement, which is characteristic of cilia and flagella. This refers to nine pairs of microtubules forming a ring around two central microtubules, giving these structures both stability and flexibility for movement.

Thus, centrioles are crucial as they provide the groundwork for the formation and proper functioning of cilia and flagella. They ensure that these structures are assembled correctly and are able to carry out their roles in cell movement and fluid transport.

To calculate the real depth of a swimming pool given the apparent depth, we can use the concept of refraction of light. When light passes from one medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal. This bending effect causes objects submerged in water to appear closer to the surface than they actually are. The formula to relate these depths is given by:

Real Depth = Apparent Depth × Refractive Index

Given the problem:

• Apparent Depth = 10 cm
• Refractive Index of water = 1.33

Using the formula:

Real Depth = 10 cm × 1.33

Calculating the above:

• Real Depth = 13.3 cm

Therefore, the depth of the swimming pool is 13.3cm.

The tangential force acting on an object that opposes it from sliding freely on the adjacent surface is called the friction force.

Let me explain each of the options to clarify why friction force is the correct answer:

• Normal force: This is the force exerted by a surface perpendicular (at a right angle) to the object resting on it. It supports the weight of the object, stopping it from passing through the surface. It is not tangential and does not oppose sliding; rather, it acts perpendicular to the surface.
• Friction force: This is the force that acts parallel to the surface contact between two objects or surfaces. It arises when one object tries to move over another. The friction force acts to oppose that movement, providing the necessary resistance to prevent sliding.
• Weight: This is the gravitational force acting downwards due to the mass of an object. It does not act tangentially on the surface but directly downwards towards the center of the Earth.
• Upthrust: Also known as buoyant force, this is the upwards force experienced by an object when it is immersed in a fluid (liquid or gas). It is responsible for the object floating or being pushed up, and is not related to tangential force or friction.

In summary, friction force is the force that acts to oppose sliding between surfaces in contact and acts tangentially, making it the correct answer.

The process by which plants lose water to the atmosphere is called transpiration.

Transpiration is a fundamental process in the life of a plant. During this process, water is absorbed by the roots from the soil and is then transported through the xylem vessels in the stem and leaves. Once in the leaves, water evaporates into the atmosphere from the surface of tiny pores known as stomata.

Here's a simple breakdown of how transpiration works:

• Water from the soil enters plant roots.
• The water travels through the plant's vascular system (xylem) to reach the leaves.
• In the leaves, the water changes from liquid to vapor and exits through the stomata.

Transpiration is crucial for a number of reasons:

• It helps in the cooling of the plant, similar to how sweating cools our bodies.
• It enables the upward movement of water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.
• Transpiration plays a vital role in maintaining the water cycle within ecosystems.

Understanding transpiration is essential in fields like agriculture, where managing water resources efficiently can significantly impact plant growth and crop yield.

In a series resonant circuit, the current flowing in the circuit is at its maximum. Let me explain why:

In a series resonant circuit, we have a resistor (R), inductor (L), and capacitor (C) connected in series with an AC source. At a particular frequency called the resonant frequency, these circuits exhibit some unique characteristics. This resonant frequency is determined by the values of the inductor and capacitor and is given by the formula:

f₀ = 1 / (2π√(LC))

At the resonant frequency:

• The inductive reactance (X_L) and capacitive reactance (X_C) become equal in magnitude but opposite in phase. Thus, they cancel each other out.
• This causes the impedance (Z) of the circuit to be at its lowest value, equal to the resistance (R) of the circuit alone.
• Since impedance is at its minimum, according to Ohm’s law (V = IZ), the current through the circuit is at its maximum value for a given applied voltage.

Thus, in a series resonant circuit, when it is operating at its resonant frequency, the current flowing is at its maximum.

Stress is defined as the force applied per unit area. In the context of a wire being loaded by a weight, the weight acts as the force exerted, and the cross-sectional area of the wire is the area over which this force is distributed.

Force (F): This is given by the weight, which is y² N.

Cross-sectional Area (A): For a wire with a diameter, the area can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr², where r is the radius of the wire.

Given the diameter of the wire as yπ meters, the radius (r) is half of the diameter:

r = (yπ)/2

So, the area (A) is:

A = π[(yπ)/2]²

Simplifying the area:

A = π(y²π²/4)
A = y²π³/4

Stress (σ) is given by the formula:

σ = F/A

Substituting the given weight (force) and the calculated area:

σ = (y²) / (y²π³/4)

By simplifying the expression:

σ = (4y²) / (y²π³)

Cancel out y² from numerator and denominator:

σ = 4/π² Nm⁻²

Thus, the correct stress experienced by the wire is 4π Nm⁻², as provided in one of the options. The explanation shows clearly how the force and area are used to derive the stress experienced by the wire.

To find the area expansivity of a metal when given its cubic expansivity, you should understand the relationship between linear, area, and cubic expansivity.

Cubic expansivity (\( \beta \)) is defined as the fractional change in volume per change in temperature, and is given by the formula:

\[ \Delta V = \beta V \Delta T \]

Area expansivity (\( \alpha_{A} \)) corresponds to the fractional change in area per change in temperature and can be derived from the linear expansivity (\( \alpha \)). The relationship between these expansivities is as follows:

\[ \text{Area Expansivity (\( \alpha_{A} \))} = 2 \times \text{Linear Expansivity (\( \alpha \))} \]

The cubic expansivity (\( \beta \)) is related to the linear expansivity by:

\[ \text{Cubic Expansivity (\( \beta \))} = 3 \times \text{Linear Expansivity (\( \alpha \))} \]

Thus, based on these relationships, we can express the area expansivity in terms of the cubic expansivity:

\(\text{Area Expansivity (\( \alpha_{A} \))} = \frac{2}{3} \times \text{Cubic Expansivity (\( \beta \))}

Given that the cubic expansivity \( \beta \) is \( 3.9 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{K}^{-1} \):

The area expansivity can be calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Area Expansivity (\( \alpha_{A} \))} = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.9 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{K}^{-1} = 2.6 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{K}^{-1} \]

Therefore, the **correct answer** is **2.6 x 10^{-6} K^{-1}**.

A practical application of total internal reflection is found in fiber optics.

To understand this, let's break it down:

When light travels from one medium to another (such as from glass to air), it changes direction. This is known as refraction. However, there is a phenomenon called total internal reflection which occurs when light is traveling within a denser medium towards a less dense medium (like from glass to air) and hits the boundary at an angle greater than a certain critical angle. Instead of passing through, the light is completely reflected back into the denser medium.

Fiber optics technology makes use of this principle. In fiber optics, light is transmitted along the core of a thin glass or plastic fiber. The core is surrounded by another layer called the cladding. This cladding has a lower refractive index than the core, which facilitates total internal reflection. As a result, the light continuously reflects internally along the length of the fiber, allowing it to travel long distances with minimal loss.

This property is harnessed in various applications such as in high-speed telecommunication systems, medical equipment like endoscopes, and other technologies that require the transmission of data over long distances with high efficiency.

To solve this problem, let's first understand how sound works in a closed pipe. A closed pipe has one end closed and another end open. Sound waves inside such a pipe create standing waves, where nodes (points of no movement) and antinodes (points of maximum movement) are formed.

For a closed pipe, the fundamental frequency (also called the first harmonic) has one node at the closed end and one antinode at the open end. The wavelength is four times the length of the pipe.

The overtone sequence for a closed pipe includes only odd harmonics: 1st (fundamental), 3rd, 5th, 7th, etc. The nth overtone is the 2nth + 1 harmonic. The equation for the frequency of a harmonic in a closed pipe is:

f_n = n * f_1, where f_n is the frequency of the nth harmonic and f_1 is the fundamental frequency

In this case, the fourth overtone corresponds to the 9th harmonic because 2 * 4 + 1 = 9. Therefore, we have:

900 Hz = 9 * f_1

To find the fundamental frequency (f_1), we solve for f_1:

f_1 = 900 Hz / 9

f_1 = 100 Hz

Therefore, the fundamental frequency is 100 Hz.

To find the energy change when an electron falls from one energy level to another, we need to calculate the energy of the emitted photon. This energy can be found using the formula:

E = hν   or   E = hc/λ

where:

• h is Planck's constant, 6.63 x 10^-34 Js
• c is the speed of light, 3.0 x 10⁸ ms^-1
• λ is the wavelength of the emitted photon, 5.68 x 10^-6 m

Substitute these values into the equation:

E = (6.63 x 10^-34 Js) * (3.0 x 10⁸ ms^-1) / (5.68 x 10^-6 m)

First, calculate the numerator:

(6.63 x 10^-34) * (3.0 x 10⁸) = 1.989 x 10^-25 J·m

Then, divide by the wavelength:

E = 1.989 x 10^-25 J·m / 5.68 x 10^-6 m = 3.5 x 10^-20 J

Therefore, the energy change when the electron falls is approximately 3.5 x 10^-20 J.

Checking the options provided, the closest value is 3.49 x 10^-20 J.

When light passes from one medium to another, such as from air to water, it bends or refracts. This phenomenon is described by Snell's Law, which states: n₁ * sin(θ₁) = n₂ * sin(θ₂), where:

• n₁ is the refractive index of the first medium (air),
• θ₁ is the angle of incidence (the angle made by the light ray with the normal in the first medium),
• n₂ is the refractive index of the second medium (water),
• θ₂ is the angle of refraction (the angle made by the light ray with the normal in the second medium).

The refractive index of air is approximately 1, and the refractive index of water is approximately 1.33. Given the angle of incidence in air is 30º:

Using Snell's Law:

1 * sin(30º) = 1.33 * sin(θ₂)

You will find:

sin(θ₂) = sin(30º) / 1.33

sin(θ₂) ≈ 0.5 / 1.33

sin(θ₂) ≈ 0.375

Now, solve for θ₂ by taking the inverse sine (arcsin):

θ₂ ≈ arcsin(0.375)

θ₂ ≈ 22.09º

Thus, when a light ray passes from air into water at an angle of 30º from the normal in air, it will make an angle less than 30º from the normal in water, approximately 22.09º. This is because the light ray bends toward the normal as it enters a denser medium (water).

When the thermal energy in a solid is increased, the solid particles gain energy and begin to vibrate more vigorously. As the temperature rises, these particles eventually have enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in their fixed positions. This leads to a change of state from a solid to a liquid. This process is known as melting.



To further understand this, imagine an ice cube. As it absorbs heat, it gains energy, and the ice (which is a solid) starts to turn into water (which is a liquid). This transition is what we refer to as melting.



Thus, the term that describes this change of state, when a solid is heated and turns into a liquid, is melting.

The energy in a moving car is an example of kinetic energy.

To explain simply, **energy** is the ability to do **work** or cause **change**. There are different forms of energy, and **kinetic energy** is one of them. It is defined as the energy possessed by an object due to its motion.

When a car is moving, it possesses **kinetic energy** because its components are in **motion**. This motion energy allows the car to do tasks, such as transporting people or goods from one place to another. The faster the car moves, the greater its **kinetic energy**, and thus it can make a larger impact or do more work.

In contrast, energy forms like **mechanical energy** is a combination of both kinetic and potential energy; **electrical energy** is associated with electrical charge movement, while **potential energy** is related to the position or condition of an object (like a car parked on a hill). Therefore, the specific type of energy from a moving car is **kinetic energy**.

The main feature of trees in the savanna habitat is the possession of thick, corky bark. The savanna is characterized by a distinct wet and dry season. During the dry season, fires are common as dry grasses and leaves become highly flammable. To adapt to this environmental condition, many trees in the savanna have developed a thick, corky bark which helps protect them against these frequent fires. This bark acts as an insulator, shielding the vital inner tissues of the tree from the heat of the flames. Additionally, this adaptation helps the trees retain moisture, which is crucial during the arid months when water is scarce.

To determine the new pressure exerted by the gas when it is heated, we'll apply **Gay-Lussac's Law**. This law states that at constant volume, the pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where:

• P1 = Initial pressure of the gas (40 mmHg)
• T1 = Initial temperature (298 K)
• P2 = Final pressure of the gas, which we want to find
• T2 = Final temperature (348 K)

By rearranging the formula to solve for the final pressure (P2), we get:

P2 = P1 * (T2/T1)

Now, insert the given values into the equation:

P2 = 40 mmHg * (348 K / 298 K)

Perform the calculations:

P2 = 40 mmHg * (348 / 298)

P2 = 40 mmHg * 1.1678

P2 = 46.71 mmHg

So, the new pressure exerted by the gas when it is heated from 298 K to 348 K at constant volume is 46.71 mmHg.

Calculating this, we get:

Distance = 1675 meters

This means the aircraft is 1675 meters away from the point where it passed the anti-aircraft gun after 5 seconds.

A photometer is an instrument designed to measure the intensity of light. It is used to determine how much light is received over a particular area. Photometers are vital in various fields such as photography, astronomy, and laboratory science for ensuring that light levels are appropriate for specific applications.

In a solar panel system, the type of mirror used to concentrate solar beams is the Concave Mirror.

Explanation:

A concave mirror is a type of mirror that curves inward, like the inside of a bowl. This shape is very effective at focusing light. When sunlight hits a concave mirror, the mirror's shape causes the light beams to converge, or come together, at a single point known as the focus. This concentrated light can then be used to generate heat or electricity more efficiently.

Why not the others?

A convex mirror curves outward and disperses light beams rather than concentrating them.

A plane mirror has a flat surface and reflects light at the same angle it receives it, meaning it doesn't concentrate the beams.

A triangular mirror is not typically used in solar applications for concentrating light as its shape is not conducive to focusing beams effectively.

Therefore, a concave mirror is best suited for concentrating solar beams in solar panel systems.

The power of a lens is a measure of its ability to converge or diverge light. It is defined as the reciprocal (or inverse) of the focal length of the lens. The formula for calculating the power (P) of a lens in diopters (D) is given by:

P = 1/f

where:

• P is the power of the lens in diopters (D).
• f is the focal length of the lens in meters.

In this case, the focal length given is 20 cm. To apply the formula, we first need to convert this focal length into meters because the diopter is the reciprocal of the focal length in meters:

f = 20 cm = 0.20 m

Now, substitute the focal length in meters into the formula for power:

P = 1 / 0.20

P = 5.00 D

Thus, the power of the convex lens is 5.00 diopters. This indicates that the lens is capable of converging light at a distance of 5.00 meters.

When you push a wheelbarrow inclined at an angle to the horizontal, the applied force can be divided into two components: a **horizontal component** and a **vertical component**. To find the horizontal component of the force, you need to use the concept of resolving vectors.

The force of 150N is acting at an angle of 60º to the horizontal. The horizontal component of this force can be calculated using the cosine of the angle. The formula to determine the horizontal component \( F_{\text{horizontal}} \) is given by:

F_horizontal = F_applied \times \cos(\theta)

Where:

• F_applied is the magnitude of the applied force, which is 150N.
• \(\theta\) is the angle of inclination to the horizontal, which in this case is 60º.

Substitute the values into the formula:

F_horizontal = 150N \times \cos(60º)

We know that \(\cos(60º)\) equals 0.5.

Therefore:

F_horizontal = 150N \times 0.5 = 75N

Thus, the **horizontal component** of the applied force is 75N.

To calculate the acceleration of a charge in an electric field, we start by determining the force acting on the charge. The force \( F \) experienced by a charge \( q \) in a uniform electric field \( E \) is given by the equation:

F = q * E

We are given:

• Charge, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C
• Electric field, E = 1200 V/m

Substituting these values into the equation for force:

F = 1.6 x 10^-19 C * 1200 V/m

This results in:

F = 1.92 x 10^-16 N

Next, we use Newton’s second law of motion to find the acceleration \( a \) of the charge. This law is given as:

F = m * a

Rearranging for \( a \), we have:

a = F / m

We know:

• Force, F = 1.92 x 10^-16 N
• Mass, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

Substituting these values in the equation for acceleration:

a = \(\frac{1.92 x 10^{-16} N}{9.1 x 10^{-31} kg}\)

Calculating the above expression gives:

a ≈ 2.11 x 10¹⁴ ms^-2

Therefore, the acceleration of the charge is approximately 2.11 x 10¹⁴ ms^-2.

Bilateral symmetry, cylindrical bodies, and double openings are characteristic features of nematodes. Nematodes, also known as roundworms, have a body structure that is symmetric along a single plane, which results in two mirror-image halves, thus exhibiting bilateral symmetry.

Furthermore, they usually have a cylindrical body shape, which means their bodies are long and narrow like a cylinder and taper at both ends. This shape helps them move through their environment easily. Additionally, nematodes have a complete digestive system with two openings: a mouth and an anus. This means that food enters through the mouth, gets digested, and waste exits through the anus.

In contrast, organisms like hydra, protozoa, and protists possess different anatomical features. Hydras, for example, typically show radial symmetry, and protozoa and protists generally do not have a well-defined body shape or bilateral symmetry as seen in nematodes. Therefore, the description fits nematodes best.

To understand the color of a red rose under a blue light, we need to consider how we perceive color. Objects appear colored because they reflect certain wavelengths of light. A red rose appears red in white light because it reflects red wavelengths and absorbs others.

When you shine blue light on a red rose, the situation changes. A blue light primarily contains blue wavelengths. Since the red rose does not have red wavelengths to reflect anymore, and it cannot reflect blue light (as it absorbs it), the rose will appear to be the absence of any reflected wavelength visible to our eyes.

This means the rose will appear black under blue light, as black is perceived when no visible light is reflected into our eyes. Thus, the color of the red rose under a blue light is black.

When a body moves in a straight line from one point, such as point P, to another point, such as point Q, the motion is called Translational Motion. This kind of motion refers to an object moving along a path in which every part of the object takes the same path as a reference point. This means that if you follow any point on the body, it covers the same amount of distance in the same time frame as any other point.

Let's break down the other options:

• Rotational Motion: This occurs when an object spins around an internal axis. For example, the rotation of the Earth on its axis is a rotational motion.


• Simple Harmonic Motion: This is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement. An example of this is a pendulum swinging back and forth.


• Circular Motion: This occurs when an object moves along a circular path. For instance, the motion of the planets around the sun is circular motion.

In conclusion, since the body is moving from point P to point Q along a straight line, it exhibits Translational Motion.

When two sound waves of slightly different frequencies are sounded together, they interfere with each other in such a way that the intensity of the sound alternates between loud and soft. This phenomenon is known as "beats". The number of beats heard per second is called the "beat frequency".

The beat frequency can be calculated by subtracting the frequency of one wave from the frequency of the other. Mathematically, it is represented as:

Beat Frequency (f_beat) = | f₁ - f₂ |

Where:

• f₁ is the frequency of the first tuning fork.
• f₂ is the frequency of the second tuning fork.

In this case:

• f₁ = 6Hz
• f₂ = 4Hz

Using the formula:

f_beat = | 6Hz - 4Hz | = | 2Hz | = 2Hz

Therefore, the beat frequency is 2Hz. This means that you would hear 2 beats per second when the tuning forks of frequencies 6Hz and 4Hz are sounded together.

In the given examples, the dry leclanche cell is a well-known example of a non-rechargeable cell. It is commonly used in everyday devices like remote controls, wall clocks, and torches. This cell type utilizes zinc and manganese dioxide as electrodes and relies on a moist paste of ammonium chloride for the electrolyte.

The other examples, such as nickel iron, mercury cadmium, and lead-acid, involve rechargeable cells (secondary cells) that are specifically designed to endure multiple charges and discharges throughout their useful life. Thus, unlike the dry leclanche cell, these can be recharged after use.

Therefore, the dry leclanche cell is an ideal example of a non-rechargeable cell because it can only be used once. After depletion, it cannot be recharged or reused.

The property by which a material returns to its original shape after the removal of force is called Elasticity.

Let's break it down:

Elasticity: This is a property of a material that allows it to return to its original shape or size after the force that caused deformation is removed. Think of a rubber band—you can stretch it, but once you let it go, it snaps back to its initial shape.

Ductility: This property refers to a material's ability to be stretched into a wire. For example, materials like copper are ductile because they can be drawn into thin wires without breaking.

Malleability: This is a material's ability to withstand deformation under compressive stress. It is the property that allows metals to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets. Gold is a good example of a malleable metal.

Plasticity: This property describes the material's ability to undergo permanent deformation without breaking. When a plastic region is reached, the material will not return to its original shape after the removal of force.

Therefore, when we speak of a material returning to its original shape after the removal of force, we are specifically referring to Elasticity.

Infra-red thermometers work by detecting the radiation from the body and converting it to temperature. These thermometers are designed to measure the infrared radiation, also known as heat radiation, emitted by objects. All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit infrared radiation. The thermometer's sensor captures this radiation and converts it into an electrical signal that can be read as a temperature measurement. This method allows for quick, non-contact temperature readings, which is why infrared thermometers are often used in medical settings, industrial applications, and more.

To determine the energy of light given its frequency, we can utilize the formula:

E = h × f

Where:

E is the energy of the photon in joules (J)

h is Planck's constant, approximately 6.63 × 10^-34 J·s

f is the frequency of light in hertz (Hz)

Given the frequency f = 2.0 × 10¹⁵ Hz, we can substitute the known values into our equation:

E = 6.63 × 10^-34 J·s × 2.0 × 10¹⁵ Hz

To simplify the calculation, multiply the numerical parts and then add the indices of 10:

E = (6.63 × 2.0) × (10^-34 × 10¹⁵)

E = 13.26 × 10^-19 J

This can be approximated to 1.33 × 10^-18 J. Thus, the energy of light with the given frequency is 1.33 × 10^-18 J.
