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.

Consider an ideal gas at 27.0 degrees Celsius and 1.00 atmosphere pressure. Imagine the molecules to be uniformly spaced, with e

My name is Ann [436]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to keep in mind the concepts about the ideal gas equation and the volume in the cube.

However, for this case the Boyle equation will not be used, but the one that corresponds to the Boltzmann equation for ideal gas, in this way it is understood that

$PV =NkT$

Where,

N = Number of molecules

k = Boltzmann constant

V = Volume

T = Temperature

P = Pressure

Our values are given as,

$N = 1$

$k = 1.38*10^{-23}J/K$

$T = 27\°C = 27\°C + 273 = 300K$

$P = 1atm = 101325Pa$

Rearrange the equation to find V we have,

$V = \frac{NkT}{P}$

$V = \frac{1(1.38*10^{-23})(300K)}{101325Pa}$

$V = 4.0858*10^{-26}m^3$

We know that length of a cube is given by

$V = L^3$

Therefore the Length would be given as,

$L = V^{1/3}$

$L = (4.0858*10^{-26})^{1/3}$

$L = 3.445*10^{-9}m$

Therefore each length of the cube is 3.44nm

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object. It is energy in an object due to its motion, position

german

Mechanical energy is made when something is moved. The energy that is moving is kinetic. And potential energy is stored energy. Mechanical energy can be used to store energy and to cause moving energy. For instance: a slingshot. Pulling back the band creates potential energy and releasing it creates kinetic energy.
