Compressional waves can travel through all states of matter.
-- The sample was a fluid.
-- It was a mixture or a suspension ... NOT a solution.
Answer:
(1) passed through the foil
Explanation:
Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.
- When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.
- While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.
- And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.
The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is always the same number ...
the speed of the wave in whatever material it's traveling through. So if the
frequency is increased, then the wavelength must <em><u>de</u></em>crease by the same
factor, in order to keep the product the same.
Options a to c can be the reasons for scientific models.
But to primarily answer scientific questions,that would require an empirical and experimental approach and not use of models.
Though after getting the answers, models can be built to further explain the answers.
