<h3>Answer:</h3>

Make-up of Hydrogen

Hydrogen atoms are extremely simple. They are the first atom on the periodic table, this means that they only have 1 proton. The majority of hydrogen atoms don't even have a neutron. As for electrons, hydrogen atoms with no charge have 1 electron. All of this means that for almost all hydrogen atoms the nucleus is made of one singular proton.

Diagram

The diagram shows a hydrogen atom. It looks like one circle because it is just showing the singular proton found in the nucleus. Electrons are extremely small compared to protons, so the electron is not shown in the picture. It is very hard to accurately depict electrons on diagrams like this because of their size and the fact that we can never know where they are. So, the diagram may look too simple but it just depicts how most hydrogen nuclei look.

An incident light ray hits a plane surface at 20 degrees (hint: remember where the angle is measured from). What is the angle be

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

$40^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The incident angle is $20^{\circ}$ so the reflected ray will also be $20^{\circ}$ .

The normal divides the angle between the incident and reflected ray. So, the angle between them would be

$\text{Incident angle}+\text{Reflected angle}=20+20=40^{\circ}$

So, the angle between the incident and reflected rays is $40^{\circ}$ .

What will happen if you increse the amplitude of a drum hit

expeople1 [14]

The sound is perceived as louder if the amplitude increases, and softer if the amplitude decreases. As the amplitude of the sound wave increases, the intensity of the sound increases. Sounds with higher intensities are perceived to be louder.
