<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The experiment performed by Thomas Young was named as double-slit experiment. In this experiment, he demonstrated the wave theory of the light.

In the experiment, he took a point source of light which illuminated two narrow adjacent slits on the screen and the image formed by the light were passed through the slits and was observed on the second screen.

The regions of dark and light regions were called as interference fringes which were caused by the constructive and the destructive interference of light waves.

Hence, he concluded that the pattern that was caused was due to the interference of the waves.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C.

How is the number of electrons in an element determined?
elixir [45]

The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom can be determined from a set of simple rules. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.

Does a laboratory balance measure mass or weight
kolezko [41]
A balance in a lab measures the weight of a substance or object.
Weight is the mass of the body x the gravitation pull on the mass of the object.

So the mass of the object can be found by dividing the weight by gravitational constant.

The gravitational constant on earth is 1. so if a balance says that a substance weighs 300g then its mass is also 300g on earth because 300/1 = 300.

Hope that helps :)
