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

densk [106]

Answer:

In Step 5, you will calculate H+/OH– ratios for more extreme pH solutions. Find the concentration of H+ ions to OH– ions listed in Table B of your Student Guide for a solution at a pH = 2. Then divide the H+ concentration by the OH– concentration. Record these concentrations and ratio in Table C.

What is the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 2?

0.01   mol/L  

What is the concentration of OH– ions at a pH = 2?

0.000000000001   mol/L  

What is the ratio of H+ ions to OH– ions at a pH = 2?

10,000,000,000 : 1

svetlana [45]

Answer:

(A) FM Radio had a somewhat shorter ranger than AM radio, but better sound quality.

Explanation:

FM Radio was invented in 1933 by Edwin Armstrong who was an American engineer. FM stands for frequency modulation and AM stands for Amplitude Modulation.

FM is used for most broadcasts of music and FM radio stations use a very high-frequency range of radio frequencies.

In FM Radio, the sound is transmitted through changes in frequency. Both FM and AM radio signals experience frequent change in amplitude, they are far less noticeable on FM.

When switching between stations, FM antenna is alternating between different frequencies, and not amplitudes and this produces a much clearer sound and allows for smoother transitions with little to no audible static.

FM signals can be interfered by barriers and this could affect the signal strength. FM Radio signals are more clearer in a mountainous area that has no barrier.

AM radio was able to carry signals farther than AM radio.

n outer space, a constant net force with a magnitude of 140 N is exerted on a 32.5 kg probe initially at rest. A) What accelerat
musickatia [10]

Answer:

a) 4.31 m/s²

b) 215.5 m

Explanation:

a) According to Newton's first law of motion

The net force applied to particular mass produced acceleration, a, according to

F = ma

F = 140 N

m = 32.5 kg

a = ?

140 = 32.5 × a

a = 140/32.5 = 4.31 m/s²

b) Using the equations of motion, we can obtain the distance travelled by the object in t = 10 s

u = initial velocity of the probe = 0 m/s (since it was initially at rest)

a = 4.31 m/s²

t = 10 s

s = distance travelled = ?

s = ut + at²/2

s = 0 + (4.31×10²)/2 = 215.5 m
