The mass number calculated for an element: The sum of protons and neutrons.

The best answer is D.

The mass number of an element is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons. Protons and neutrons both weigh about one atomic mass unit or amu.

The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons. Both these two types of particles are almost the same size.  Almost all the mass of an atom (99%) is in the nucleus. Atomic mass therefore is really a measure of the size of the nucleus.

Wavelength light source is part of the control group for William’s experiment

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sir William wanted to conduct an experiment to observe how much heat passed through different colour filters of the sunlight. He directed sunlight to pass through the prism and observed vibgyor and measured the temperature. He found that the temperature increased from violet to red.

Then he was inquisitive to find the temperature beyond the red ray. That’s when he found the infrared rays which had higher temperature that was not to be seen through naked eyes. He performed experiments using the light source and found that the wavelength of light are not refracted in a particular pattern.
