On a hypothetical scale x the ice point is 40° and steam point is 120°. for another scale y the ice point and steam points are -30° and 130° respectively if x reads 50° the reading of y is?

The reading of Y is -10°.

Explanation:

For scale X, the ice point is 40° and steam point is 120°.

Difference between the two extremes for scales X = 120 - 40 = 80

For scale X, the ice point and steam points are -30° and 130° respectively.

Difference between the two extremes for scales X = 130 - (-30) = 160

Comparing both scales:

One unit of scale X = x

One unit of scale Y = y

Scale X has 80 divisions while scale Y has 160

80x = 160y

x = 2y

50° in scale X = 10x + ice point in X scale

10 divisions in Y scale = 20y

Reading of Y scale = ice point of Y + 20y

= -30° + 20°

= -10°

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
