In the process of performing an analysis, you determine that you need to improve the precision by limiting the error in the absorbance to 9.400 x 10%. You attempt to achieve this by reducing the amount of stray light that reaches the detector. What is the maximum amount of stray light that can reach the detector that will limit the error in the absorbance to 9.400 x 10 for a true absorbance of 1.0000000? s= 222 x10-5 Incorrect
You have been taken to the emergency room. To get a constant update on your vital signs, equipment is attached to you, including a pulse oximeter. The pulse oximeter shines two LEDs on your finger to test how much oxygen is in your blood. One LED transmits in infrared (903 nm) and one transmits in visible red (641 nm). What are the frequencies of these LEDs? (a) red (b) infrared

An isotropic point source emits light at wavelength 470 nm, at the rate of 210 W. A light detector is positioned 450 m from the source. What is the maximum rate dB/dt at which the magnetic component of the light changes with time at the detector's location? The speed of light is c = 3 x 108 m/s, and Ho = 47 x 107 H/m. Number 2.98754 UnitsTT/s the tolerance is +/-5%
In 1676, the Danish astronomer Ole Roemer had one of those “aha” moments in science. He concluded from accumulated observations of eclipses of Jupiter’s moon at different times of the year that light must travel at finite speed and needed 1300 s to cross the diameter of Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Using 300,000,000 1cm for the diameter of Earth’s orbit, calculate the speed of light based on Roemer’s 1300-s estimate. How does it differ from a modern value for the speed of light?
