Question:

A. Engineer A: "When the sample alpha decays, it will give off alpha particles. These will

trigger a photosensor (a device that senses forms of light) that will open the lock."

B. Engineer B: "When the sample alpha decays, it only releases large amounts of heat.

This will trigger a thermometer that will open the lock."

C. Engineer C: "When the sample alpha decays, it will lose mass, This will trigger a scale

that will open the lock."

D. Engineer D: "When the sample alpha decays, it will give off negatively charged alpha

particles. Because alpha particles are electrons, they will complete a circuit that will

open the lock."

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. Engineer A: "When the sample alpha decays, it will give off alpha particles. These will trigger a photosensor ( a device that senses forms of light) that will open the lock"

Explanation:

Here, we note that in alpha decay (α-decay) there is an emission of an alpha particle or helium nucleus with the transformation of the parent element nucleus into that of a different element, having reduced mass and atomic numbers

Alpha particles are a form of ionizing radiation with a mass of 6.64 × 10⁻²⁷ kg and therefore they can be sensed by a photo sensor but will be slowly sensed by a scale.

During an observation, it was noticed that light diffracts as it passes through small slits in a barrier. What does this evidenc
Lynna [10]

Answer:

It reveals that light is a wave

Explanation:

Diffraction is the property of a wave in which there is a bending of the wave about the corners of an obstacle or aperture into the geometrical shadow of the obstacle or aperture.

This simply implies that a wave bends or spreads out when it passes through openings. Since the light diffracts through small slits and diffraction has been shown to occur in water waves and sound waves, this property of diffraction can only be characteristic of a wave and thus, this evidence reveals that light is a wave.

Southern state and local elections in 1876 differed from those in previous years in that
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Southern state and local elections in 1876 differed from those in previous years in that the election of 1876 was one of the closest races in American history. It tested the Constitution and resulted in a compromise that ended Reconstruction in America.

The election of 1876 between Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel Tilden of New York was one of the most hostile, controversial campaigns in American history. The vote was 8-7 along party lines to award the disputed electoral college votes to Hayes, making him the winner.

Explanation:

The Compromise of 1876 is known for being the catalyst for the end of Reconstruction era, it was one of the most contentious and controversial presidential elections in American history.

Republican nominee Rutherford B. Hayes faced Democrat Samuel J. Tilden. After a controversial post-election process, He lost the popular vote to Democrat Samuel J. Tilden but he won an intensely disputed electoral college vote after a Congressional commission awarded him twenty contested electoral votes Hayes was declared the winner. The Hayes-Tilden Compromise is often seen as the final point that brought an end to Reconstruction, as it led to the removal of the US army from the South.

As Florida's Supreme Court had earlier declared a Democratic victory in the 1876 gubernatorial election, Democrats had been restored to power all across the South. The Compromise of 1876 effectively ended the Reconstruction era.

Southern Democrats' promised to protect civil and political rights of blacks as they were not kept, and to end of federal interference in southern affairs. This led to widespread disenfranchisement of blacks voters. Other factors that contributed to the end of Reconstruction were the Panic of 1873 and political corruption in the United States.

The Compromise of 1877 (the Great Betrayal) was an informal, unwritten deal, that settled the intensely disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election. It resulted in the United States federal government pulling the last troops out of the South, and formally ended the Reconstruction Era.
