Correct Answer: Extension Cords
Explanation:
Extension cords can be a tripping hazard, and can be easily damaged, causing an unsafe situation. There are many ways of safely getting power to each work place, where wiring is protected and concealed.
Correct Answer: Local Area Network
Correct Answer: System file
Correct Answer: To increase the voltage momentarily
Correct Answer: Neon Lighting
Explanation:
Neon lighting runs at a high voltage, typically above 1000 Volts. A fireman's switch protects a fireman from receiving a shock when a water jet is sprayed onto the installation. The switches are red, and mounted in a conspicuous position. (This is specified by IEE Regulations (Europe), SANS (South Africa), UK Electricity regulations and many Asian countries. I am unable to confirm other countries' requirements, so feel free to let me know.)
Correct Answer: 1972
Correct Answer: A ruby rod
Explanation:
Theodore Maiman built the first working laser using a ruby rod while working at Hughes Research Laboratories in Malibu, California. It lased for the first time on May 16, 1960.
Correct Answer: 70-100
Explanation:
About the same as as the most popular light bulb size.
Correct Answer: Image file
Correct Answer: Pumping
Explanation:
A collection of atoms or molecules that can be excited to a higher energy state is called an active medium. Before lasing can occur, the active media is "pumped". The process of raising the atoms in the active media from a lower energy state to a higher state is like pumping water up from a well.
