Sir Isaac Newton, held the theory that light was made up of tiny particles<span>. In 1678, Dutch physicist, Christiaan Huygens, believed that light was made up of </span>waves<span>vibrating up and down </span>perpendicular<span> to the direction of the light travels, and therefore formulated a way of visualising wave propagation.</span>

Answer:

PARTICLE

Explanation:

As per the theory proposed by the Newton for the propagation of light he assumed that light is made up of PARTICLEs

He said that light is made up of small rigid particles which behaves elastically. When light shows reflection then this is an example of 100% elastic collision where these particles will strike the surface and rebound with same speed at same angle with the normal

So this theory explains the propagation of light in particle form and hence this theory was known as particle theory of light

So as per Newton's explanation light is made up of PARTICLES

When does sea breeze occur
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the uneven  heating rates of water and land. The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the day.  At this rate, the air above the land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or replace the rising warm air.</span>

What is kinetic energy
mixas84 [53]
<span>(symbol K)</span><span> Energy that an object possesses because it is in motion. It is the energy given to an object to set it in motion; it depends on the mass (</span>m) of the object and its velocity (v<span>), according to the equation K = 1/2 </span>mv2<span>. On impact, it is converted into other forms of energy such as heat, sound and light.</span>

8. A rectangle is measured to be 6.4 +0.2 cm by 8.3 $0.2 cm.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

a) The perimeter of the rectangle is 29.4 centimeters.

b) The uncertainty in its perimeter is 0.8 centimeters.

Explanation:

a) From Geometry we remember that the perimeter of the rectangle (p), measured in centimeters, is represented by the following formula:

p = 2\cdot (w+l) (1)

Where:

w - Width, measured in centimeters.

l - Length, measured in centimeters.

If we know that w = 6.4\,cm and l = 8.3\,cm, then the perimeter of the rectangle is:

p = 2\cdot (6.4\,cm+8.3\,cm)

p = 29.4\,cm

The perimeter of the rectangle is 29.4 centimeters.

b) The uncertainty of the perimeter (\Delta p), measured in centimeters, is estimated by differences. That is:

\Delta p = 2\cdot (\Delta w + \Delta l)  (2)

Where:

\Delta w - Uncertainty in width, measured in centimeters.

\Delta l - Uncertainty in length, measured in centimeters.

If we know that \Delta w = 0.2\,cm and \Delta l = 0.2\,cm, then the uncertainty in perimeter is:

\Delta p = 2\cdot (0.2\,cm+0.2\,cm)

\Delta p = 0.8\,cm

The uncertainty in its perimeter is 0.8 centimeters.
