A device known as an optical resonator is used in lasers. An optical resonator consists of an arrangement of mirrors that reflec

t electromagnetic radiation back and forth within an empty cavity. The electromagnetic radiation within the cavity reflects off of the mirrors multiple times. The mirrors are precisely placed so that only particular frequencies can survive within the cavity via constructive interference. All other frequencies are suppressed via destructive interference. The end result is a beam of light of a certain frequency.
An optical resonator of the type described above depends on the tendency of light to
A. behave as a wave.
B. excite atoms to certain energy levels.
C. excite electrons to certain energy levels.
D. behave as a particle.

Answer:

A. The resonator behaves as a wave guide (a hollow pipe used as a transmission line). The characteristics of the pipe depend on the type of the wave to be transmitted.

Think about the mice shown below. Using the space below numbered 1, describe what is happening from figure 1 to 3.​
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: Natural selection is taking place.

Explanation:

As you can see, the lighter colored mice are more visible than their surroundings, so the hawk picks them off one by one. the brown mice on the other hand are less visible, blending in with their surroundings, so they are successful, and pass on the genes that allow them to survive better.

1. A toy car is marked to go at 0.5m/s, which of the following sets of
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

b. 0.6m/s, 0.7m/s, 0.61m/s, 0.62m/s

Explanation:

Precision of a measurement is the closeness of the experimental values to one another. Hence, experimental measurements are said to be precise if they are close to each other irrespective of how close they are to the accepted value. Precision can be determined by finding the range of each experimental value. The measurement with the LOWEST RANGE represents the MOST PRECISE.

Note: Range is the highest value - lowest value

Set A: 1.5 - 0.8 = 0.7

Set B: 0.7 - 0.6 = 0.1

Set C: 2.4 - 2.0 = 0.4

Set D: 3.1 - 2.9 = 0.2

Set B has the lowest range (0.1), hence, represent the most precise value.
