I think its B because classical physics describes light as waves
Ganezh [65]3 years ago
3 0
Classical physics considered light to behave as a wave in all environments; it had a set amplitude, frequency etc. The problem was that this meant that there was a continuous variation in its properties, hence if the amplitude of the light was incresed by a bit, a phenomenon like the phhotoelectric one would become only marginally more apparent. However, in this case, there is a cutoff point which means that the only-wave theory had to be wrong.

According to the Theory of Plate Tectonics, which of the following statements is correct?
kramer

Answer:

It's D. The geothermal energy from Earth's core loses most of its heat before reaching the outer layer. The plates on the outer layer have been proven to be moving due to evidence such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis.

A materials density is the same , no matter how large or small the sample is or what it’s shape is as long as it is solid unifor
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume, i.e. the following equation can be used:

density = m/v

where:

density [kg/m^3]

m = mass [kg]

v = volume [m^3]

If we change the volume of a body by reducing its size, its mass will also decrease proportionally with a density as seen in the equation.

m = density*v

To understand this concept more clearly, let's use the following example:

We know that the density of water is equal to 1000 [kg/m^3], that is, 1 cubic meter of water contains 1000 kilograms of water, using the equation.

1000 = m /1

m = 1000*1 = 1000 [kg]

Now if we have 500 kilograms of water, that would pass with the volume so that the density remains constant.

1000 = 500/v

v = 500/1000

v = 0.5 [m^3]

We can see that the volume of water has halved. Since the mass of water was reduced by half. That is, the relationship between mass and volume is proportional to the density of the material or substance.
