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.

Calculate the size of the image of a tree that is 8m high and 80 m a pinhole camera that is 20 cm long . what is its magnificati

Vladimir79 [104]

1) Size of the image: 2 cm

In order to calculate the size of the image, we can use the following proportion:

$p:q = h_o : h_i$

where

p = 80 m is the distance of the tree from the pinhole

q = 20 cm = 0.2 m is the distance of the image from the pinhole

$h_o$ = 8 m is the heigth of the object

$h_i$ is the height of the image

By re-arranging the proportion, we find

$h_i = \frac{h_o \cdot q}{p}=\frac{(8 m)(0.2 m)}{80 m}=0.02 m=2 cm$

2) Magnification: 0.0025

The magnification of a camera is given by the ratio between the size of the image and the size of the real object:

$M=\frac{h_i}{h_o}$

so, in this problem we have

$M=\frac{0.02 m}{8 m}=0.0025$
