Question

Arrange the following power levels in ascending order:

a) 160 milliwatts, 50 watts, 500 microwatts, 4 watts
b) 500 microwatts, 160 milliwatts, 4 watts, 50 watts
c) 4 watts, 500 microwatts, 160 milliwatts, 50 watts
d) 50 watts, 4 watts, 160 milliwatts, 500 microwatts

Answer 1

The correct arrangement of the power levels in ascending order is: 500 microwatts, 160 milliwatts, 4 watts, 50 watts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sequence for the arrangement of the power levels in ascending order is:

b) 500 microwatts, 160 milliwatts, 4 watts, 50 watts

To compare the power levels, we need to convert all values to the same unit. Let's convert everything to milliwatts:

500 microwatts = 500 μW = 0.5 mW

4 watts = 4 W = 4000 mW

50 watts = 50 W = 50000 mW

160 milliwatts = 160 mW

As we can see, the correct arrangement in ascending order is 0.5 mW, 160 mW, 4000 mW, and 50000 mW.
