Electromagnetic waves are used in everyday life. You are looking at your computer screen right now. The light that is coming off of the screen is visible light, a form of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves are also used to send information. For example, AM or FM radios are radio waves that transfer sound information to your local radio.

State one function of pupil of and eye

Olenka [21]

The most important function of the Pupil of ours eye is to allows the light to enter in our eye.

Some more functions of the Pupil are ⇒
1) Pupil helps in the Adaptation and Adjustment of the eye.
2) Pupil also helps in controlling the amount of light entering our eye.

Pupil is the small space between the iris of the eye. 

Hope it helps.

A watermelon is blown into three pieces by a large firecracker. Two pieces of equal mass m fly away perpendicular to one another

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Speed of larger piece is $\dfrac{V\sqrt{2}}{3}$

Explanation:

We apply the principle of conservation of momentum.

The watermelon is initially at rest. The initial momentum = 0 kg m/s in all directions.

After the collision,

Vertical momentum = momentum of piece in y-direction + y-component of momentum of larger piece = $mV + 3mv_{ly}$

Here, $v_{ly}$ is the y-component of velocity of larger piece.

This is equal to 0, since the initial momentum is 0.

$v_{ly}=\dfrac{V}{3}$

Horizontal momentum = momentum of piece in x-direction + x-component of momentum of larger piece = $mV + 3mv_{lx}$

Here, $v_{lx}$ is the x-component of velocity of larger piece.

This is also equal to 0, since the initial momentum is 0.

$v_{lx}=\dfrac{V}{3}$

The velocity of the larger piece, $v_l$ , is the resultant of $v_{lx}$ and $v_{ly}$ . Since they are mutually perpendicular,

$v_l = \sqrt{v_{ly}^2+v_{lx}^2}= \sqrt{\left(\dfrac{V}{3}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{V}{3}\right)^2}$

$v_l = \dfrac{V\sqrt{2}}{3}$

The experiments Galileo performed, such as rolling a ball down an inclined plane, are important because they

anyanavicka [17]

Galileo Galilei is one of the key figures in the history of Science, being the first to apply the experimental-mathematical scientific method. He carried out experiments and careful observations in kinematics (his studies on the trajectory of projectiles are famous) and dynamics (it should be noted his careful experiments with inclined planes), establishing the first law of Dynamics (which Newton will later collect and refine in his Principles); and in Astronomy, with which he could unequivocally support the heliocentric theory.

His experiments were addressed by methodologies that allowed him to precisely find his mathematical calculations and to verify theories he was developing over time. His manuscripts were key to disseminate the applied method and extrapolate them to other scientific areas.

Therefore the correct answer is C.
