Answer:
e) indicated that the speed of light is the same in all inertial reference frames.
Explanation:
In 18th century, many scientists believed that the light just like air and water needs a medium to travel. They called this medium <em>aether</em>. They believed that even the space is not empty and filled with aether.
Michelson and Morley tried to prove the presence and speed of this aether through an interference experiment in 1887. They made an interferometer in which light was emitted at various angles with respect to the supposed aether. Both along the flow and against the flow to see the difference in the speed of light. But they did not find no major difference and thus it became the first proof to disprove the theory of aether.
It thus proved that the speed of light remains same in all inertial frames.
Also, it became a base for the special theory of relativity by Einstein.
Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)
Speed = (19 per second) x (7 mm)
Speed = (19 x 7) (per second · mm)
<em>Speed = 133 mm/sec</em>
or you might want to write <em>Speed = 0.133 m/s</em> .
Answer:
Both attempt to explain human behavior
Explanation:
Psychology is generally regarded as the science of human behavior. Behaviourism is the psychological theory which holds that behaviour can be fully understood in terms of conditioning, without actually considering thoughts or feelings. The theory holds that psychological disorders can be aptly handled by simply altering the behavioural patterns of the individual. It involves the study of stimulus and responses.
Cognitive psychology attempts to decipher what is going on in people's minds. That is, it looks at the mind as a processor of information. Hence we can define cognitive psychology as the study of the internal mental processes. This according to behaviorists, cannot be studied in measurable terms as in behaviourism (stimulus response approach) even though mental processes are known to influence human behavior significantly.
Hence, both behaviourism and cognitive psychology attempt to study human behavior from different perspectives.
Answer: 1. Being able to carbon date fossils
From the daily exposure to radioisotopes of organisms, scientists discovered to carbon date fossils. In carbon dating, the age of organic matter can be determined from the relative proportions of C-12 and C-14 i.e. isotopes of Carbon (carbon 12 and carbon 14). This ratio changes over the years because carbon-14 decays and is not replenished as there is no exchange with the atmosphere.
