Answer:

Option A is correct.

The wires will be arranged in order of increasing resistance.

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by

r = (ρl)/A

where r = resistance of the wire

ρ = resistivity of the wire

L = length of the wire

A = cross sectional area of the wire

Provided all the other parameters are constant, resistance is inversely proportional to cross sectional area

r ∝ (1/A)

And the the cross sectional Area of the wire increases with increase in thickness & decreases with thickness

So, decreasing thickness ----> Decreasing Cross sectional Area ----> Increasing resistance.

4. What is the period of the microwaves in the above question?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The period of a wave is the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle. Period, being a time, is measured in units of time such as seconds, hours, days or years. The period of orbit for the Earth around the Sun is approximately 365 days; it takes 365 days for the Earth to complete a cycle.
