In the United States and a few other countries tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which estimates the wind speeds of a tornado based on the severity of the damage it inflicts. It is an updated version of the Fujita scale.

What was the fujita scale measurement for Illinois?

The Fujita scale rates the intensity of tornadoes. It does not rate states. Tornadoes of all intensity levels on the Fujita scale, from F0 to F5, have ocurred in Illinois.


Do Scientists use the Fujita to measure hurricane intensity?

No. The Fujita scale is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale.


What is the highest category on the fajita scale which is uses to rate a tornadoes intensity?

F5. And its the Fujita scale, not fajita.


Does the fujita scale have some to do with tornadoes?

Yes. The Fujita scale is used to rate tornadoes based on the severity of the damage they inflict. There are six intensity levels ranging from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest.


How do you calculate the light intensity on rate of photosynthesis?

The rate of photosynthesis is influenced by light intensity, which can be calculated by measuring the number of oxygen bubbles produced by a plant in a set amount of time under different light intensities. By increasing or decreasing the light intensity and observing the corresponding rate of oxygen bubble production, you can determine the impact of light intensity on photosynthesis.


Does the fujita scale measure hurricanes intensity?

No. Hurricanes are classified on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The Fujita scale is used to rate tornadoes.


What is the Fujita Scale used for and who was it named for.?

Do scientists use the Fujita scale for hurricanes or tornadoes?

The Fujita scale is used for tornadoes, not hurricanes. It measures tornado intensity based on the damage caused. Scientists use the Saffir-Simpson scale for hurricanes, which categorizes them by wind speed.


What is the relationship between light intensity and photosynthetic rate?

The relationship between light intensity and photosynthetic rate is that if the intensity of the light is high then the rate of photosynthesis will increase. However the rate of photosynthesis will only increase to an extent after intensity of light reaches a certain point photosynthesis rate will stay still.
