Answer 1

You do realize that I am extremely smart, right?? LOL



1. It has sumthin' to do with the refraction of light, wavelengths & what the human eye can see - that's all I remember.......ok, doing well, so far!! Hahahaha



2. Largest country as in # of people? Or area? Largest # of people - China.......largest land area - Russia.



3. Dude - I'm from America - we are SO not on the metric system, hon.....but I'm thinking not a bunch, since a kilogram is 1,000 grams.



4. A decibel measure sound level - down where I live, in da 'hood, decibels can be measured accurately by how much your windows rattle & your bed shakes when a car with big-azz sub-woofers comes down your street.



5. Red, Blue & Yellow. Sometimes you'll have a white and/or a green, depending on what kinda plug it is (you didn't specify, Doc)



6. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen & uh, let's see, does Carbon Dioxide count?



7. Oh, heck - I don't know but it has sumthin' to do with computers, right?



8. Two apples - the ones in your hands.



9. Jan, March, May, July, Aug, Oct, Dec - 7



10. As many as is specific to their breed, I think - they can have more than 8, I believe, unlike their cousins, the octopii.



How did I do?? Do I pass, Affey??

Answer 4

1. The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.



2. RUSSIA



3. 1 KG = 2.20462262 POUNDS



4. A decibel usually measures power or intensity. Most common application are in Audio levels. A decibel(dB) is actually a ration of the measured physical quantity to a standard value of the same physical quantity. It is expressed in log scale. It becomes easier to express things in decibel as they are short numbers compared to the real physical measure.



5. A length of flex will usually consist of three insulated conductors2, encased in an insulating sheath. Each of the conductors will have different color insulation, according to the terminal it should be connected to:

• Brown - Live

• Blue - Neutral

• Yellow and green - Earth

If you have any old style appliances, they may well have different colors:

• Red - Live

• Black - Neutral

• Green - Earth



6. Nitrogen (78%) Oxygen (21%) Argon (1%) Carbon dioxide (0.04%)



7. The acronym HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language



8. You will have 2 apple in your hand and rest 4 in your basket.



9. Seven (7)



10. All squids are decapods.



This means that, like their relatives the cuttlefishes, they have ten limbs.



Eight of the limbs are generally called 'arms'.



The other two are longer. These two are called tentacles.



The tentacles are used for grasping the prey and pulling it toward the mouth, quite unlike the arms.

Answer 5

1. Air molecules are the same size as the frequency of the blue light wave length hence the blue light wave bounces around off the atmosphere creating the blue effect to the sky. (I had help here from a real dork)

2. Russia.

3. 2.2

4. Sound.

5. Green, brown and blue.

6. Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and argon.

7. H? T? M? Language.

8. 2. The other 4 are in the basket.

9. 7

10. 6

Answer 6

1 The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air
