Answer:

a. Interference patterns are observed when a wave passes through a barrier with two slits

Explanation:

Interference is a situation where two waves superimpose to form a new wave of a different amplitude. This amplitude can be greater, same or lower.

the diagram attached below shows the movement of a wave through a barrier with two slits.

you can notice the portions of the wave that overlap. This overlapping of waves is the interference.

Thus, option A is correct.

The other options however,  are not correct. as shown below:

Option B is wrong as waves exhibit diffraction <em>(it is diffraction of the light wave that produces the rainbows we see in the sky)</em>

Option C is wrong as waves do not travel straight through slits always.

Option D is wrong as waves can also interfere constructively and destructively.

The electron configuration of a neutral atom is 1s22s22p63s2. Write a complete set of quantum numbers for each of the electrons.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The four quantum number for each electron will be:

1s^{2}

n=1;l=0;m=0;s=+\frac{1}{2}/-\frac{1}{2}

2s^{2}

n=2;l=0;m=0;s=+\frac{1}{2}/-\frac{1}{2}

2p^{6}

n=1;l=1;\\m=+1,0.-1 \\s=+\frac{1}{2}/-\frac{1}{2}

3s^{2}

n=3;l=0;m=0;s=+\frac{1}{2}/-\frac{1}{2}

Explanation:

As the element is neutral, the number of protons will be equal to number of electrons which will be the atomic number of the element.

Number of electrons =12

Atomic number = 12

Element : Magnesium

The principal shell is represented by "n"

i) For "s" subshell the value of l =0 (azimuthal quantum number) thus m (magnetic quantum number)= 0

The two electrons in s subshell will have either plus half or minus half spin quantum number

ii) for "p" subshell the value for l =1

thus m = 0 or +1 or -1

The two electrons in each orbital will have either plus half or minus half spin quantum number

A gas occupies a volume of 2.4 L at 14.1 kPa. What volume will the gas occupy at 84.6 kPa?
Naddik [55]

Answer:

  • <u>0.40 L</u>

Explanation:

Boyle's law for gases states that, at constant temperature, the volume and pressure of a fixed amount of gas are inversely related.

Mathematically, that is:

  • PV = constant

  • P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Here, you have:

  • V₁ = 2.4 L
  • P₁ = 14.1 Kpa
  • P₂ = 84.6 KPa
  • V₂ = ?

Then, you can solve for V₂:

  • V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

Substitute and compute:

  • V₂ = 14.1 KPa × 2.4L / 84.6 KPa = 0.40 L ← answer
