B) Copper atoms have a loosely held free electron in their outer shell that is able to move freely to other atoms.
NARA [144]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B) Copper atoms have loosely held free electrons in their outer shell that is able to move freely in other atoms.

Explanation:

A material which has loosely held free electrons in its outermost shell is always a good conductor. These loosely held free electrons move from atoms to atoms and cause conductivity. It is known that copper and other metals are good conductors. Therefore, option (B) supports the argument and is a right answer.

Explain why the sound produced by every vibrating body cannot be heard by us ?​
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The human ear is not sensitive to every frequency of sound, rather, our hearing range is from 20Hz to 20,000Hz. This means sound frequencies outside this range are not audible to the human ear, which is why not every sound produced is heard. This is quite a blessing because if we could hear every vibrating body, then our ears would never stop listening: we won't be able to distinguish 'important sounds' from unimportant ones, rendering our ears effectively useless. Perhaps this is why we have a hearing range in the first place: sounds of our friends and our foes lie in 20Hz-20kHz range.
