Answer:
A. It does not exhibit projectile motion and follows a straight path down the ramp.
Hello!
In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy.
This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending.
The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.
Answer:
It looks yellow because that is the only (major) color reflected.
Visible spectra is from about 4000-7000 Angstroms (10^-10 m).
Red are longer wavelengths and blue are the shorter wavelengths.
The Sodium doublet (yellow) occurs around 5900 Angstroms.
