Which of the following statements about atoms is true?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>The atoms are grouped thus forming molecules. Each type of molecule is the combination of a certain number of atoms linked between them and in a specific way, whenever a molecule can contain atoms of different elements or of the same. And that in turn, Each atom retains its structural characteristics, beyond that they are part of different molecules because during the chemical reactions the atoms cannot be created or destroyed, but they are organized in a different way creating links between an atom and another.</span>

Which of the following is a characteristic of electromagnetic waves?

fomenos

Answer:

They have a dual wave-particle nature.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (in fact, they are also classified as transverse waves).

Electromagnetic waves have a wave nature, however they also have particle nature - in fact, it has been proved in some experiment (e.g. photoelectric effect) that in some conditions they act as packets of particles - called photons. Therefore, the option

They have a dual wave-particle nature.

is correct.

Other options are wrong because:

They are all invisible. --> False because visible light (which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so they are electromagnetic waves) is visible

They can only travel without a medium. --> False because they can also travel in a vacuum

They are slower than sound waves. --> False because they travel much faster (they travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ , while sound travels at 343 m/s in air, for instance)
