Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
Illumination distance is the distance, up to which the light of the vehicle can reach. Hence, it is a maximum distance from the, that driver can see.
Stopping distance is the minimum distance required by the car to stop after brakes are applied.
So, in order to avoid any accident the illumination distance must be greater than the stopping distance. So, the driver can stop the vehicle in time, when he sees something in front of it.
Since, the stopping distance in this case is two or three times longer than illumination distance. Therefore, low beam light does not provide enough visibility in high speed driving situations.
Hence, the correct option is:
<u>a. True</u>

Gamma radiation could be used to sterilize plastic petri plates in a plastic wrapper.
Answer: Option E
<u>Explanation:
</u>
It is known that radioactive radiations have greater ionizing powers compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Among the radioactive radiations, gamma rays are the most ionizing radiation.
So they are widely used in sterilizing process. As the penetration power of gamma is more compared to alpha and beta, in order to kill microorganisms gamma radiations are used.
When plastic petri plates wrapped with plastic are bombarded or sterilizing with gamma rays, the rays will ionise the micro-organism. Thus mutilating their DNA and preventing their reproduction.
I just did this last semester... I know this is wave height!!
average velocity is vector displacement / time
time is "almost exactly one hour"
disp = -10m
v= -10/1x60x60 = -1/360m/s
