Answer: C. The dual nature of light

Explanation:

Young’s double slit experiment showed the dual behaviour of light (and matter) as a wave and as a particle.

Although currently it is known that light behaves as a wave and as a particle. It should be noted that many years ago it was thought light had only a corpuscular behaviour. In fact, the first to propose the corpuscular theory of light was Issac Newton, while Christian Huygens (who was contemporaneous with him) proposed the wave theory.

However, when Thomas Young performed the double slit experiment with photons (light) the result was: Light is able to behave also as waves.

A). 1,000 watts = 1 kilowatt
5,000 watts = 5 kilowatts

b). (5 kilowatts) x (2 hours) = 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh)

c). (10 kWh) x (15 cents/kWh) = $1.50

Explain how do you determine the intensity of earthquake

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.

Use the following half-life graph to answer the following question:

Temka [501]

Answer:

A 1.0 min

Explanation:

The half-life of a radioisotope is defined as the time it takes for the mass of the isotope to halve compared to the initial value.

From the graph in the problem, we see that the initial mass of the isotope at time t=0 is

$m_0 = 50.0 g$

The half-life of the isotope is the time it takes for half the mass of the sample to decay, so it is the time t at which the mass will be halved:

$m'=\frac{50.0 g}{2}=25.0 g$

We see that this occurs at t = 1.0 min, so the half-life of the isotope is exactly 1.0 min.
