Answer:

B. The ability of the solute molecules only to absorb the energy of light (photons) at a specific wavelength.

Explanation:

Spectrophotometry is the quantitative measurement of the reflection or transmission properties of a material as a function of wavelength. In case of a solution, both, solute and solvent would absorb the energy on an specific lenghtwave of light if they have a absortion coefficient diffrent of 0. The solvent could absorb energy of light, but it´s not typical, for example water does not absorb light in any lenghtwave. Therefore, for practical uses, we consider that only the solute absorbes, and it case the solvent does, that should be taken into account for the solute concentration calculation.

Answer:

The minimum difference between the lengths of the two tubes should be 0.385 meters.

Explanation:

As we known that for any two waves to arrive in phase at any point the difference in the path traveled by the waves should be an integral multiple of the wavelength of the wave.

Mathematically we can write:

$\Delta x=n\frac{\lambda }{2}$
