Answer:

A. Optical fibers transmit light signals in high-speed communications.  

Explanation:

You didn't include the image, but it probably showed light bouncing off the sides as in the diagram below.

It demonstrates how optical fibers transmit light signals in high-speed communications.

B is wrong. Satellites communicate by radio waves.

C is wrong. Solar cells convert light energy to  

D is wrong. Power plants transmit electrical energy to homes through copper wires.

Over [174]

Answer:

Oxygen and Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Oxygen is required for respiration whereby energy is released from natural occurring nutrients accompanied by the release of water and carbon dioxide. carbon dioxideis also required by plants to photosynthesise.

Oxygen and carbon dioxide in the troposphere supports life as by enabling respiration in organisms and photosynthesise in plants can. Without oxygen in an environment, only life forms that live by anaerobic respiration will thrive. This affects a regions carrying capacity

A solution of ammonia has a pH of 11.8. What is the concentration of OH– ions in the solution?
balu736 [363]
PH + pOH = 14

11.8 + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 11.8

pOH = 2.2

[OH-] = 10 ^- pOH

[OH-] = 10 ^- 2.2

[OH-] = <span>6.33 x 10^-3 M
</span>
Answer B

hope this helps!

The isotope of carbon used in archaeological dating is 14^6C . How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does an atom of 14^6C h
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

6

8

6

Explanation:

 Isotope given:

                       ¹⁴₆C

In specie written as this;  

   Superscript  = Mass number

   Subscript  = Atomic number

To find the protons, it is the same as the atomic number;

                Protons  = Atomic number  = 6

Neutrons have no charges;

 Neutrons  = Mass number - Atomic number  =

  Neutrons  = 14 - 6  = 8

The number of electrons is the same as the atomic number = 6

Water boils at 100°C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100°C, what could be the reason?
RSB [31]
One reason could be that the water in this experiment, didn’t boil, but instead became a “chemical reaction” from atmospheric pressure which is normal.

While heating two different samples, of
sea level water it decides on a temperature of 102°C and the other boils at 99.2°C. Basically calculating of the percent error.

How do metals become stable?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Atoms of metal elements give away electrons in their reactions to form positive ions. The ions formed have a full outer electron shell, so are very stable.

Explanation:

To become stable, the metal atom wants to get rid of one or more electrons in its outer shell. ... Alternately, an atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion (aka cations). The particles in an ionic compound are held together because there are oppositely charged particles that are attracted to one another.
