What is the definition of light in one sentence

Chemistry
1 answer:
bulgar [2K]3 years ago
4 0

The dictionary definiton of light is:

the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible.

I'll paraphrase/give a scientific definition:

Light is made of subatomic particles called photons, which jumps electron shells when they're excited, effecting the electromagnetic spectrum, creating visible light.

Hope this helps. Might not as I'm not perfect on this topic yet.

If a sample of air in a school container was heated, would the percentage of oxygen in the air increase, decrease, or remain unc
Viktor [21]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Let's suppose we have a sample of air in a closed container. We heat the container and we want to predict what would happen to the pressure.

According to Gay-Lussac's law, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

Thus, if we increased the temperature of the air by heating it, its pressure would increase.

If a sample of air in a closed container was heated, the total pressure of the air would increase.
