Answer: The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

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.

Burning one gallon of gasoline releases 20 pounds of CO2 into the air. Harry’s compact car can travel 25 miles on one gallon of

son4ous [18]

There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those information's, the answer can be easily deduced.
Amount of gasoline required by Harry's car to travel 25 miles = 1 gallon
Then
amount of gasoline required
by Harry's car to travel 15000 miles = 15000/25
= 600 gallons
So
Amount of CO2 released by burning 1 gallon of gasoline = 20 pounds
Then
Amount of CO2 released
by burning 600 gallon of gasoline = 600 * 20
= 12000 pounds
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the amount of CO2 that will be added by Harry's car to the atmosphere is 12000 pounds.
