Answer:
B. 3.12 x [tex]10^{-3}[/tex] m
Explanation:
From the given picture, it can be deduced that;
the diameter of the image of lumen = 25.0 mm
= 25.0 ÷ 1000
= 0.025 m
And,
magnification = [tex]\frac{diameter of the image of lumen}{actual diameter of lumen}[/tex]
But magnification = 8,and diameter of the image of lumen = 0.025 m.
So that;
8 = [tex]\frac{0.025}{actual diameter of lumen}[/tex]
⇒ actual diameter of lumen = [tex]\frac{0.025}{8}[/tex]
= 0.003125
Actual diameter of lumen of the blood vessel is 3.12 x [tex]10^{-3}[/tex] m.
