Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Cirrhosis of liver is caused by the chronic intake of alcohol. Regular consumption of alcohol damages the liver cells. Cirrhosis of liver is a serious condition when normal liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue.

Q6. The formula E= hνis used to calculate
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Max Planck theorized that energy was transferred in chunks known as quanta, equal to . The variable h is a constant equal to 6.63 × 10-34 J·s and the variable νrepresents the frequency in 1/s.

This equation allows us to calculate the energy of photons, given their frequency.

If the wavelength is given, the energy can be determined by first using the wave equationto find the frequency, then using Planck’s equation to calculate energy.
