Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, we need to identify the types of radiation that can be detected by a thermopile and a solution of silver chloride. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the radiation detected by a thermopile:** - A thermopile is an instrument that converts thermal energy (heat) into electrical energy. It is sensitive to infrared radiation. - **Conclusion:** The radiation that can be detected by a thermopile is **infrared radiation**. 2. **Identify the radiation detected by a solution of silver chloride:** - Silver chloride is a photosensitive compound that undergoes a chemical change when exposed to light. Specifically, it darkens when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. - **Conclusion:** The radiation that can be detected by a solution of silver chloride is **ultraviolet radiation**. ### Final Answer: (a) Infrared radiation can be detected by a thermopile. (b) Ultraviolet radiation can be detected by a solution of silver chloride. ---
