Answer:

Melting ice is not an example of chemical reaction

Explanation:

Chemical reaction:

A reaction in which one or more chemical species are converted to one or more different chemical species is known as chemical reaction. During chemical reaction constituent atoms of the reactants are rearrange to create different substances as products.

Rusting is a chemical reaction because during rusting a new chemical substance is created

Photosynthesis is also a chemical reaction because during photosynthesis new product is formed.

Heat from fire is also a chemical reaction because during this reaction new product as gases are released

Melting ice is not a chemical reaction because after melting ice converted into water. So in both ice and water water molecules does not change only a physical change takes place during this reaction.

Rust, photosynthesis, and heat from fire are all chemical reactions because new substances are formed and the chemical formula is changed. By doing this, bonds are broken and formed in the making of the new substance. Melting ice is physical change the molecules are still water molecules, it just changed physical form.

How is lightning formed with explanation l?

creativ13 [48]

Lightning is an electric current. Within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice (frozen raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charger

A technician wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm

Explanation:

Using the formula of fringe spacing from the Young's Double Slit experiment, which is given as follows:

$\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{\Delta x\ d}{L}$

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Δx = fringe spacing = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 4.95 m

d = slit separation = 0.175 mm = 0.000175 m

Therefore,

$\lambda = \frac{(0.016\ m)(0.000175\ m)}{4.95\ m}\\\\$

λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm

Which is the best example of the transfer of heat through radiation

boyakko [2]

Nitially the flame produces radiation which heats the tin can. The tin can thentransfers heat to the water through conduction. The hot water then rises to the top, in the convection process.
