Both matter and light have been demonstrated to exhibit wave-like and particle-like behavior.

Light as a wave: light can diffract & refract

Light as a particle: photoelectric effect, Compton scattering

Matter as a wave: Davisson-Germer experiment

Matter as a particle: find a picture of any kinematics problem in a high school physics textbook

Choice D

How are elements and<br> compounds identified?
irina1246 [14]

Elements are composed of single atoms and compounds are composed of different elements.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A single atom generally forms an element. It is an individual particle or atom present in the periodic table, mostly it refers with symbol. When two or more elements of different types or same types combine together, it is called as compound.

The compounds can be heterogeneous compounds and homogeneous compounds. Depending upon the combination of elements, this classification is done for compounds. The elements can form a compound by ionic, covalent, metallic or hydrogen bonding. The molecules can also be termed as compounds.

Which of the following represents the wavelength of a wave?
dlinn [17]

Answer: D. the distance between the highest points of consecutive waves

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is defined as the <em>distance traveled by a periodic perturbation that propagates through a medium in a given time interval</em>. It is usually represented by \lambda and can be calculated if the frequency of the wave is known, since there is an inverse relationship between both.

In the specific case of a periodic sine wave (which is the way in which a wave is usually represented graphically) the wavelength can be determined as the distance between two consecutive maxima of the disturbance.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Two flat conductors are placed with their inner faces separated by 8 mm. If the surface charge density on one of the inner faces
miskamm [114]

Answer:

= 0.0298V

Explanation:

Electric field between two conductor = σ / ε₀

σ = 33pC/m²

= 33 × 10⁻¹²C/m²

ε₀ = 8.85 × 10 ⁻¹²C²/Nm²

E = 33 × 10⁻¹² /  8.85 × 10 ⁻¹²

  = 3.7288N/C

potential difference between two conductors = Ed

where d = 8mm = 8 × 10 ⁻³m

V = 3.7288 ×  8 × 10 ⁻³

   = 29.83 × 10 ⁻³

    = 0.0298V

Two waves have the same frequency. What other characteristic must be the same for these waves?.
madreJ [45]

The wave characteristic that is the same for both waves is wavelength.

  • Two waves with the same frequency will also have the same wavelength, amplitude, speed, and period. When two waves are travelling at the same frequency, it denotes that their duration and amplitude are also the same.
  • When two waves of the same frequency and amplitude interfere constructively, their peaks and troughs align as shown in diagram A above. As a result, the original waves' amplitude is doubled, resulting in a sound wave that is twice as loud.

Thus, Equal frequencies are shared by two waves moving through the same region in the same direction.
