Answer:

The high transmittance (low absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs very little green light.

The low transmittance (high absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs most blue light

Explanation:

  • The galvanometer is a device which is used for measuring the electric current.
  • In a spectrophotometer the galvanometer is attached to indicated the amount of light that is getting transmitted through a sample.
  • If the amount of light that is getting transmitted from the sample is more, the reading of the galvanometer would be higher and if less light is transmitted the reading of the galvanometer would be less.
  • Further, the transmittance of a light is inversely proportional to the absorption, that is if the absorption would be low transmittance would be high and vice versa.
  • Therefore, when the chlorophyll is exposed to green light, the transmittance is high and this implies that the absorption of green light would be less.
  • Similarly, when the chlorophyll is exposed to blue light, a low transmittance indicates a higher absorption of blue light by chlorophyll.

Sound waves travel through gas liquid and solids A) True B) False
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

  • Sound is a form of Energy that produces a sensation of hearing in our ears.
  • Sound is produced as a result of vibration produced in a body.
  • Sound energy is transmitted from one place o other place by wave motion.
  • When a body vibrates, the particles of medium surrounding it starts vibrating about their mean position.
  • During vibration, they collide with the surrounding particle and transfer some energy to them.
  • They then start vibrating faster and transferring  energy to the next surrounding particle. This process continues till the vibration reaches a person ear.
  • Thus, particles are an important factor in propagation of sound.
  • Sound cannot travel in vacuum.
  • It requires a medium to travel from one point to another.
  • A sound can travel in all medium, solids, liquids and gases as all of these have particles.
  • The speed of sound is highest in solids and lowest in gases as the inter molecular space is largest in gases and smallest  in solids.
