Answer to Question 1

The glass is classified as No. 10 shade. The welding arc contains light rays that burn, even from a
distance. Any material that blocks the light also stops the damaging rays because the human eye must
not be exposed to direct light from the welding arc.



Answer to Question 2

GMAW is gas metal arc welding. It is a method of welding where wire is fed automatically at a
constant speed as an electrode. It is used in welding exhaust systems, repairing mechanical supports,
installing trailer hitches, truck bumpers, and aluminum castings.

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.
