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.

Which statement best describes insulators? Free electrons can move to other atoms Electrons within their atoms are strongly held
balandron [24]

Answer:

The statement that best describes insulators is <u><em>"Electrons within their atoms are strongly held by the nuclei"</em></u>

Explanation:

Atoms are constituted by a nucleus with positive charge (protons and neutrons), around which negative charges (electrons) revolve.

Substances that have a huge amount of "free electrons" that can move through the material are called conductors. This is due to the low resistance to the movement of the load or electric current.

Materials that do not conduct electricity are called insulators. In this case the electrons are strongly bound to the nucleus and cannot move freely. In this way a great resistance to the flow of electric current is offered.

Finally, semiconductors are the materials that can have electrical properties of conductors or insulators.

So<u><em> the statement that best describes insulators is "Electrons within their atoms are strongly held by the nuclei"</em></u>

Betelgeuse is how many times larger than the sun
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Betelgeuse is one of the largest known stars and is probably at least the size of the orbits of Mars or Jupiter around the sun. That's a diameter about 700 times the size of the Sun or 600 million miles. For a star it has a rather low surface temperature (6000 F compared to the Sun's 10,000 F).
