Answer:

e) indicated that the speed of light is the same in all inertial reference frames.

Explanation:

In 18th century, many scientists believed that the light just like air and water needs a medium to travel. They called this medium <em>aether</em>. They believed that even the space is not empty and filled with aether.

Michelson and Morley tried to prove the presence and speed of this aether through an interference experiment in 1887. They made an interferometer in which light was emitted at various angles with respect to the supposed aether. Both along the flow and against the flow to see the difference in the speed of light. But they did not find no major difference and thus it became the first proof to disprove the theory of aether.

It thus proved that the speed of light remains same in all inertial frames.

Also, it became a base for the special theory of relativity by Einstein.

Why construction is present near the bulb ​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The constriction causes the mercury column to break under tension, leaving a vacuum between the bottom of the column and that in the bulb, and the top of the column stays still at the position reached in the body - a "peak hold" system.

A student has a thin copper beaker containing 100 g of a pure metal in the solid state. The metal is at 215°C, its exact melting
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The metal will melt but their will be no change in temperature.

Explanation:

The metal is at its melting temperature which means it is still in solid phase but have to cross the enthalpy of its condensation at this same temperature to convert into liquid phase.

<u>On supplying heat, the metal's temperature will not change as the heat will be required as enthalpy of condensation to melt the solid to liquid at the melting temperature.</u>
