What kind of surface would cause diffusion when light is reflected off of it?
[ "cold surfaces", "smooth surfaces", "hot surfaces", "rough surfaces" ]
D
The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. A mirror has a smooth surface and reflects light at specific angles. Light is diffused when it reflects from a rough surface. Mirror images can be photographed and videotaped by instruments.

Along with other elements, most ores are made of what?
[ "coal", "crystals", "metal", "sodium" ]
C
When the ore leaves the mine, it is not yet a useful material ( Figure below ). Most ores are a combination of metal and other elements. The rocks are full of valuable minerals. They also contain rock that isn't valuable, which is called waste rock. The valuable minerals must be separated from the waste rock.

Maximum permissible radiation dose in pregnancy is –
[ "0.5 rad", "1.0 rad", "1.5 rad", "2 rad" ]
A
Maximum permissible dose in pregnancy is 5 mSv (0.5 rem).  Rem = Rad x Quality factor. Main radiation exposure during pregnancy can be by X-rays (radiography or CT), and the quality factor of X-rays is 1.  That means Rem = Rad. Therefore, the maximum permissible dose in pregnancy is 0.5 rem or 0.5 rad.
