A) lUV < lIR < lVIS B) lUV > lVIS > lIR
C) lUV > lIR > lVIS D) lUV < lVIS < lIR
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) lUV < lVIS < lIR

Explanation:

Infrared radiation, what we experience as heat when we hold our hand near a warm object, is somewhat longer wavelengths than visible light. Visible light is simply electromagnetic radiation in a range of wavelengths that our eyes are sensitive to. Visible wavelengths range from 0.0007 milimeters for red light, through orange, yellow, green, and blue, to 0.0004 milimeters for violet light. Ultraviolet is shorter wavelengths than violet.

Q:

The Great Gatsby is written in which point of view?

A) first person limited B) first person omniscient
C) third person limited D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) first person limited

Explanation:

A first person point of view is said by a character who is invoved in the events of the story and unlike third person point of views will actually use words such as 'we' or 'I'.

  

The Great Gatsby is told from the point of view of Nick Carroway. He is from the Midwest, but narrates the story after it takes place in the East. As such, he is an outsider, and tends to judge what he experiences in the East based on his midwestern ideas and values.

 

Nick makes an effort to assure the reader that he is nonjudgmental and completely honest. This is ironic, because he is very judgmental and opinionated.

A passage is given with 5 questions following it. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and click the button corresponding to it.

 

Most successful companies, institutions and organizations have mission statements. Most individuals don't. As the Chief Executive Officer of your own life in the knowledge era, you need a laser like focus in your vision. You need a mission and a mission statement describing how you want to live, not just what you want to own; defining the person you want to become, not just the title you want to see on your door; outlining the knowledge you will receive, not just the degree you'll earn or your next promotion.

I began the process this way : "To be aware of the uniqueness of my associates, clients, friends and family, and to treat that uniqueness with loving concern. I was created to lead myself and others to understand win­win relationships and how to use them to improve the lives of all persons with whom I come into contact."

You, too, can frame your mission statement starting with your core values, working outward to your material desires and financial needs.

What should a person's mission statement begin with?

A) Your core values B) What you want to acquire
C) Your monetary ambitions D) Your next promotion
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Your core values

Q:

The  optical  phenomenon  that  is  primarily responsible  for  the  observation  of  rainbow on a rainy day is 

A) diffraction B) interference
C) dispersion D) reflection
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) dispersion

Explanation:

A rainbow is a natural spectrum appearing in the sky after a rain shower. It is caused by dispersion of sunlight by tiny water droplets, present in the atmosphere. A rainbow is always formed in a direction opposite to that of the Sun. The water droplets act like small prisms. They refract and disperse the incident sunlight, then reflect it internally, and finally refract it again when it comes out of the raindrops.
