Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
When the water vapor content of a volume of gas equals its capacity, the RH is 100. When the RH is 100, a gas is fully saturated with water vapor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The BH of a gas is the ratio of its actual water vapor content to the water vapor capacity in saturated gas at body temperature (37 C). Thus BH is the same as RH, except that the capaci-ty (or denominator) is fixed at 43.8 mg/L.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
