<h2>1. event horizon </h2>

The event horizon is the surface of a black hole, it is the border of space-time in which the events on one side of it can not affect an observer on the other side.

That is, at this border also called <em>"point of no return"</em>, nothing can escape (not even light) and no event that occurs within it can be seen from outside.

<h2>2. gravitational lensing </h2>

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, mass causes the curvature of spacetime and this curvature is what we call <u>gravity</u>.

Then, the light always move following the curvature that gravity causes in spacetime, and in this way the rays of light are deflected if there is a mass accumulation nearby. Being this is the principle of the gravitational lensing.

<h2>3. black hole </h2>

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, inside a black hole there is a <em>"singularity"</em> that consists of a region of the space in which <u>the density of matter tends to infinity. </u>

How is it possible?

Following what relativity establishes, bodies within a gravitational field follow a curved space path. Then the more a body enters the black hole, the more curved the space will become, until, in the center, it will become infinitely curved.

<h2>4. gravitational waves </h2>

Gravitational waves were discovered (theoretically) by Albert Einstein in 1916 and "observed" for the first time in direct form in 2015.

These gravitational waves are fluctuations or disturbances of space-time produced by a massive accelerated body, modifying the distances and the dimensions of objects in an imperceptible way.

In this context, an excellent example is the system of two neutron stars that orbit high speeds, producing a deformation that propagates like a wave, <u>in the same way as when a stone is thrown into the water. </u>

<h2>5. wormhole</h2>

A wormhole is <u>a hypothetical feature of a space-time</u> described in the equations of general relativity, which essentially consists of a shortcut through space and time. It is not proven that they exist, although <u>mathematically they are possible</u> .

In other words:

A wormhole is a tunnel that joins two black holes in different places (two points of spacetime).

<h2>6. time dilation (gravitational) </h2>

The dilation of time is a phenomenon that results from the theory of relativity, which states that time passes at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential.

That is, the greater the local distortion of spacetime due to gravity, the slower the time passes.

<h2>7. gravitational redshift</h2><h2 />

When we talk about the <u>visible electromagnetic spectrum</u>, we know it starts in violet-blue and ends in red.

Now, in this context the astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble observed several celestial bodies, and when obtaining the spectra of distant galaxies he observed that the spectral lines were displaced towards the red one (red shift), whereas the nearby stars showed a spectrum displaced to the blue one.

From there, it was deduced that the farther an body in the universe is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum. This effect is due to the dilation and contraction of time by speed.

1. Select all that apply.

The answers are as follows:

1. A scientific theory: <em>i) is supported by evidence ii) can evolve over time </em>

A scientific theory can be defined as a set of interconnected statements or information about a particular topic, that has consistently been found by various scientists during repeated experimental investigations over time. For a scientific theory to be accepted as a theory, it must be backed up by empirical and scientifically derived data and statistics. Additionally, scientific theories are not absolute and can evolve and expand over time, if new valid and reliable data about the same topic is found.

2. A chemist is likely to: <em>i) analyze the ingredients in ice cream ii) determine how to separate gasoline from other substances in petroleum </em>

A chemist is a scientist who specializes in topics related to Chemistry. A chemist investigates topics such as: elements, compounds, chemical reactions, chemical properties etc. Thus, a chemist is likely to analyze the ingredients in ice cream, in order to determine its chemical composition. Additionally, a chemist would investigate how to separate gasoline from other substances in petroleum, since this procedure would involve some form of chemical reactions.

3. Science can be applied to:<em> i) government regulation ii) healthcare iii) telemarketing iv) environmental engineering v) banking </em>

Science can be defined as a broad and widely encompassing discipline that systematically and empirically investigates living organisms, their behavior, the physical world they live in, etc., through experimentation and observation. Science applies to government regulations since it can help shape the policies that the government enforces- such as policies that enhance the health and well-being of citizens. Healthcare and environmental engineering are sciences, and therefore, obviously contain scientific elements. Banking also involves science, since research, planning, policies, etc., require research.

4. The fields of science and mathematics are so interdependent because:<em> i) Scientists need to be able to take careful measurements. ii) Scientists need to be able to make precise measurements. </em>

In simple terms, mathematics and science are interdependent, because both involve calculations in order to reach a solution or a conclusion. This is especially apparent in Physics (a science), which uses several calculations to prove laws and theories. Similarly, sciences, including: psychology, biology and chemistry, also involve mathematics and calculations in order to analyse data and reach conclusions. Both Mathematics and Science require careful and precise measurements in order to obtain accurate results.

5. The following questions can use science as a method of inquiry: <em> i) How can we protect crops from drought? ii) Did dinosaurs exist? </em>

Out of all the options listed in the question, only the aforementioned questions can use science as a method of inquiry. This is because, questions such as “Is cloning appropriate?” and “Why is jazz a great type of music?”, are qualitative and subjective in nature, and cannot be answered using scientific investigation- which involve measurements and statistical analyses. On the other hand, investigating how to protect crops from drought and the existence of dinosaurs can use science as a method of inquiry, because these investigations would involve measurement and analyses in order to obtain results and a valid conclusion.

This is the path of light through slits.

what are incident light ?

The light that hits a topic is called as incident light. It may originate from an artificial source or from a natural source, like as the sun. Incident light is also light that reflects off a reflector or another surface.

what is light ?

The region of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye sees as light, or visible light, is composed of electromagnetic radiation. The Sun is the primary source of natural light on Earth. Fire has historically been a major source of light for people, from ancient campfires to modern kerosene lamps. Electric lighting has largely taken the place of firelight as a result of the development of electric lights and power systems.
