Answer:

B. it showed that the wave nature of light is a probability statement of where photons are going to be

Explanation:

When the light propagates through a medium it is taken to act as a wave, it shows all the features of a wave such as reflection, refraction, diffraction.

  • But when the light ray is incident on a surface generating an energy interaction with the particles of the matter on which it is incident then it is treated as matter. Light is made of particles called photons.
  • The collision of photons with the surface electrons in some materials leads to the ejection of the valance electrons from the surface in excited state.

Energy of photon is given as:

E=h.\nu

where:

h = Planck's constant

\nu= frequency of the wave

The primary coil of a transformer contains 100 turns; the secondary has 200 turns. The primary coil is connected to a size aa ba
tester [92]

Answer:

3 volts

Explanation:

Number of turns in primary coil = N_{p} = 100

Number of turns in secondary coil = N_{s} = 200

Voltage across primary coil = V_{p} = 1.5 volts

Voltage across secondary coil = V_{s} = ?

In a transformer, the ratio of number of turns of primary to secondary coil is equal to the ratio of the respective voltages i.e.

\frac{N_{p} }{N_{s} } =\frac{V_{p} }{V_{s} }\\

Using the given values, we get:

\frac{100}{200}=\frac{1.5}{V_{s} }\\V_{s}=1.5 \times \frac{200}{100}\\V_{s}=3

Thus, the voltage measure across secondary coil would be 3 volts

Which type of matter is gold an element used in making jewelry A.) A heterogeneous mixture B.) A pure substance C.) A crystallin
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

<em>The gold used in the making of jewelry is usually not pure but a heterogeneous mixture of metals. Pure gold is quite soft and even though it may look better in appearance compared to those made using heterogeneous mixtures, it usually bends easily. Hence, in order to make the jewelry more durable, gold is usually mixed with other metals to form a heterogeneous mixture. </em>

The correct option is A.

Which liquid will evaporate the fastest water salt water pepsi and gatorade?
MArishka [77]
The liquid that will evaporate the quickest would be water. 
<em>~The rest are mixtures, and have more ingrediants in them, therefore the answer should be water. (in which it has no other ingrediants in it but water itself)</em>

Which word describes the maximum a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes?
Tom [10]

Answer:

Amplitude.

Explanation:

A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.

In Science, there are two (2) types of wave and these include;

I. Electromagnetic waves: it doesn't require a medium for its propagation and as such can travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of an electromagnetic wave is light.

II. Mechanical waves: it requires a medium for its propagation and as such can't travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of a mechanical wave is sound.

An amplitude can be defined as a waveform that's measured from the center line (its origin or equilibrium position) to the bottom of a trough or top of a crest.

Hence, an amplitude is a word that describes the maximum displacement a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes.

On a graph, the vertical axis (y-axis) is the amplitude of a waveform and this simply means that, it's measured vertically.

Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;

x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)

Where;

x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.

A is the amplitude.

ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.

t is the time period measured in seconds.

ϕ is the phase angle.
