Answer:

b. Observe the radio waves coming from all dark matter; from the strength of the radio waves from each cluster, estimate the amount of dark matter needed to produce them.

Explanation:

The universe is thought to be made up of 85% dark matters. Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it doesn't absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect. This means that option b is wrong since radio wave is an electromagnetic wave. Dark matter is a form of matter that makes up about a quarter of the total mass–energy density of the universe. Dark matter was theorized due a variety of astrophysical observations and gravitational effects that cannot be explained by accepted theories of gravity unless there were more matter in the universe than can be seen.

A series circuit contains a 9-volt battery, a 3-ohm resistor and a 2-ohm resistor. What is the voltage drop across the 2-ohm res

BARSIC [14]

Since everything in the circuit is in series .. .

-- The total resistance is (3 + 2) = 5 ohms.

-- The voltage across the 3-ohm resistor is 3/5 of the total voltage.

-- The voltage across the 2-ohm resistor is 2/5 of the total voltage.

(2/5) of (9 volts) = 18/5 = 3.6 volts .

How can you tell that toast is not warmed up by conduction?

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Toasting in a toaster is usually considered by (infra red) radiation. But the hot coils touch the toast so an element of heating by conduction occurs as well.

A metallic sheet has a large number of slits, 5.0 mm wide and 20 cm apart, and is used as a diffraction grating for microwaves.

san4es73 [151]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the principle of superposition and constructive interference, that is to say everything that refers to an overlap of two or more equal frequency waves, which when interfering create a new pattern of waves of greater intensity (amplitude) whose cusp is the antinode.

Mathematically its definition can be given as:

$d sin\theta =m\lambda$
