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.

Which of the following statements about alkenes is not correct?
professor190 [17]
<span>Option-C:  They react mainly by substitution.

Explanation:
                     
Alkene doesn't give substitution reactions because they are non polar in nature. The double bond in alkene is responsible for Electrophillic Addition reactions as it electron rich and nucleophilic in nature. Reaction of Alkene is given below,</span>

Which metal in Period 5 is very reactive and has two valence electrons in each atom? rubidium (Rb) strontium (Sr) zirconium (Zr)
vladimir1956 [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

           Strontium (Sr)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                        The condition given in statement is the presence of two valence electron. Hence, first we found the electronic configuration of given atoms as follow;

                       Rubidium                         [Kr] 5s¹

                      Strontium                        [Kr] 5s²

                       Zirconium                         [Kr] 4d² 5s²

                      Silver                                 [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s¹

From above configurations it is cleared that only Strontium and Zirconium has two electrons in its valence shell.

We also know that s-block elements are more reactive than transition elements due to less shielding effect in transition elements hence, making it difficult for transition metals to loose electrons as compared to s-block elements. Therefore, we can conclude that Strontium present in s-block with two valence electrons is the correct answer.

Which phrase best describes the salinity of ocean water?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Number of grams of mineral salt in one liter of water

.

Explanation:

Salinity :

It is the concentration of dissolved salts .

Salinity means the saltiness or the dissolved salt component in the water body . It is defined as mass (in gram) of the dissolved matter in the water bodies .

salts found in ocean water are :

Salts of chlorides, sulfates , sodium , magnesium, potassium  and calcium

For example :  world's oceans salinity is 3.5% parts per thousand (g/L) . It means 3.5 g of salt is present in 1 L of seawater .

Note : Sodium chloride is major salt found in ocean . But it is not the only salt present (other salts are also found) . So D can't be the answer
