Feathers are primarily composed of keratin, a protein, which does not have the same pigment properties as the other materials listed. Therefore, feathers were not used in the production of early pigments.

    A direct and steady current having a positive and negative pole utilized during a facial is:

    • High Frequency current

    • Ionization

    • Galvanic current

    • Tesla current

    Correct Answer
    A. Galvanic current
    Explanation
    Galvanic current is a direct and steady current with positive and negative poles that is commonly used during facial treatments. It helps to improve the absorption of skincare products into the skin, increase blood circulation, and promote lymphatic drainage. The positive pole is usually used for desincrustation, which helps to deep cleanse the skin and remove impurities, while the negative pole is used for iontophoresis, which helps to infuse beneficial ingredients into the skin. Overall, the galvanic current is an effective and commonly used modality in facial treatments.

    What percentage of sunlight is made of visible light?

    • 30%

    • 35%

    • 3%

    • 32%

    Correct Answer
    A. 35%
    Explanation
    Visible light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. It ranges from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers in wavelength. The question asks for the percentage of sunlight that is made up of visible light. Since visible light is the only part of the spectrum that humans can see, it can be inferred that all of the sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface is made up of visible light. Therefore, the correct answer is 100%.

    How many amps in the circuit does it take to operate an appliance at 100 watts? 

    • 100 amps

    • 1000 amps

    • 1 amp

    • 10 amps

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 amp
    Explanation
    An appliance with a power rating of 100 watts can be operated with a current of 1 amp in the circuit. This is because the formula for calculating power is P = IV, where P is power in watts, I is current in amps, and V is voltage in volts. Rearranging the formula, we can solve for I, which gives us I = P/V. In this case, if the voltage is assumed to be 100 volts, then the current required to operate the appliance at 100 watts would be 1 amp.
