Based on your knowledge of the electromagnetic spectrum, why are radio waves considered harmless while ultraviolet waves and x-rays considered harmful?
a) radio waves have longer wavelengths, lower frequency, and lower energy than ultraviolet waves and x-rays.
b) lower energy and higher frequency ultraviolet waves and x-rays is enough to break bonds and damage cells.
c) high frequency and energy of radio waves mean that they penetrate much farther through matter than uv or x-rays.
d) the energy of the lower frequency ultraviolet waves and x-rays is high enough to be considered ionizing radiation.

Carbon is allowed to diffuse through a steel plate 15 mm thick. the concentrations of carbon at the two faces are 0.65 and 0.30 kg c/m^3 fe, which are maintained constant. if the preexponential and activation energy are 6.2 x 10-7 m2 /s and 80,000 j/mol, respectively, compute the temperature at which the diffusion flux is 1.43 x 10^-9 kg/m^2 -s.

Nitrogen (n2) undergoes an internally reversible process from 6 bar, 247°c during which pν1.2 = constant. the initial volume is 0.1 m3 and the work for the process is 121.14 kj. assuming ideal gas behavior, and neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine heat transfer, in kj, and the entropy change, in kj/s. show the process on a t-s diagram.
