HBr and HF are both monoprotic Arrhenius acids—that is, in aqueous solution, they dissociate and ionize to give hydrogen ions. A strong acid ionizes completely; a weak acid ionizes partially.
In this case, HBr, being a strong acid, would ionize completely in water to yield H+ and Br- ions. However, HF, being a weak acid, would ionize only to a limited extent: some of the HF molecules will ionize into H+ and F- ions, but most of the HF will remain undissociated.
pH is, by definition, a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution (pH = -log[H+]). A higher concentration of hydrogen ions gives a lower pH, while a lower concentration of hydrogen ions gives a higher pH. At 25 °C, a pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution; a pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution; and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution.
If we have equal concentrations of HBr and HF, then the HBr solution will have a greater concentration of hydrogen ions in solution than the HF solution. Consequently, the pH of the HBr solution will be less than the pH of the HF solution.
Choice A is incorrect: Strong acids like HBr dissociate completely, not partially.
Choice B is incorrect: While the initial concentration of HBr and HF are the same, the H+ concentration in the HBr solution is greater. Since pH is a function of H+ concentration, the pH of the two solutions cannot be the same.
Choice C is correct: A greater H+ concentration gives a lower pH value. The HBr solution has the greater H+ concentration. Thus, the pH of the HBr solution would be less than that of the HF solution.
Choice D is incorrect for the reason why choice C is correct.

See explanation
Explanation:
According to Louis de Broglie, matter has an associated wavelength. He was the first scientist to establish the idea of wave-particle duality or wave- particle paradox.
The display of wavelike properties by objects in the universe is dependent on the magnitude of the of the mass of the body. Small objects have a large associated wavelength and can be described completely by quantum mechanics.
A buckyball with a mass of 1.2 x 10-21 g, 0.7 nm wide, moving at 38. m/s has a very small mass and significant associated wavelength hence the system can be completely described by quantum mechanics.
The dictionary definiton of light is:
the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible.
I'll paraphrase/give a scientific definition:
Light is made of subatomic particles called photons, which jumps electron shells when they're excited, effecting the electromagnetic spectrum, creating visible light.
Hope this helps. Might not as I'm not perfect on this topic yet.
your answer would be C hope this helps
In the early 1900s, a scientist named Alfred Wegener noticed how the continents seem to fit together and developed the Theory of Continental Drift. Continental drift is the theory that continents can drift apart from one other and have done so in the past. Wegner's theory also explained why fossils of the same plant and animal species are found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In addition similar types of rock and evidence of the same ancient climatic conditions are found on several continents.
Wegner hypothesized that all the separate continents of today were once joined in a single landmass that he called Pangaea.
