Around 1700, when Mechanics was made for the first time by Sir Isaac Newton, he said about the nature of the light that it resembles thiny particles. Somewhat latter , around 1865, Maxwell discovered that the Electromagnetic waves have the same speed as the speed of light. From this resemblance he deduced that light should be an Electromagnetic wave. Latter than this, at around 1900, when trying to explain some peculiarities of the Photoelectric effect, Eistein postulated that light behaves like thiny particles (the older Newton Theory from 1700).
Today we say that LIGHT HAS A DUAL CHARACTER. It is also a wave and a particle. In some experiments light behaves like an Electromagnetic wave (diffraction, reflection, refraction), in other experiments light behaves like thiny particles (quanta): the Photoelectric effect and the Compton effect.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

K = .3941 × 10³ W/m.K

Explanation:

Qcond = K A ΔT÷ L

∴K = Qcond ×L ÷ A ΔT

J ÷ S = P

P = I × V =Qcond

∴Qcond = I × V

               = 0.6 A × 110 V

               =66 W

L = 0.12 m

ΔT = 8 °C

Qcond =33 V

Area = (πD²) ÷ 4

       = [π (4 × 10⁻² )²] ÷  4

        = 1.256 × 10⁻³ m²

∴A = 1.256 × 10 ⁻³³ m²

So K = ( Qcond × L ) ÷ A ΔT

         = (33) (0.12 ) ÷ (1.256 ×10⁻³ ) × 8

         = 0.3941 × 10³ W/m .K

In lecture, it was discussed measurements of mass, temperature, time, volume and length. which of these is not an si base unit (
photoshop1234 [79]

From the options provided in the question, the measurement which is not an SI base unit is volume.

<h3>What is SI base unit?</h3>

This is referred to as the standard and fundamental unit of measurement of various quantities or variables which is defined arbitrarily and not by combinations of other units.

Volume is a quantity which is derived from the combination of lengths in a  three-dimensional manner which is why the formula is length× breadth×height and the unit is cm³. This is gotten from the combination of the unit of length which is cm.

This is therefore the reason why volume was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
