The electromagnetic waves used in a bar-code scanner by an image is produced when a silicon chip releases electrons by the photoelectric effect and Visible light is reflected off an object and then captured by a charge-coupled device.

<h3>What is electromagnetic wave?</h3>

The electromagnetic wave is the white light or Sunlight coming directly from the Sun. This light ray is the form of wave. This light when falls on any object segregates into the range of all types of EM radiation.

Radiation is packet of energy that travels and spreads out. It has radio waves, infrared waves and visible light waves, ultraviolet rays and microwaves.

Bar code scanner uses the photoelectric effect and visible light reflection phenomenon.

Thus, the correct options are A and C.

In a thermostat, what property of the bimetallic coil allows it to contract and expand? The two metals absorb different amounts

Reika [66]

Hello!

In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy.

This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending.

The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.

Examine the scenario. Object A has 5 protons and 5 electrons. Object B has 5 protons and 7 electrons. Which option most accurate

Travka [436]

<span>Last choice on the list:
Object A has a net charge of 0 because the positive and negative
charges are balanced.
Object B has a net charge of –2 because there is an imbalance of
charged particles (2 more negative electrons than positive protons).</span>
