Hey how's your day going

I hope after I answer that you understand and don't just paste my answer into your assignment!!! (<- read!!!)

Answer \|/

             

Ice is less dense than water.

Reason why \|/

                   

When water freezes the molecules inside completely stop moving (They still vibrate but don't change their position much). In doing so, they spread out a touch which makes it less dense than liquid water. So ice floats

What could u test to determine the stage of a stars cycle
nasty-shy [4]
Different stages of the cycle gives off different wavelengths of light because more types elements are being made as you go farther down the cycle. So looking at the wavelengths that the light gives off can determine what stage a star is currently in

What wave phenomena best describes the reason for the dark and light bands that
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Interference

Explanation:

Interference is the phenomenon in which two waves superimpose to form a wave with smaller, larger or same amplitude.

There are two types of interference namely, constructive interference and destructive interference.

Constructive interference occurs when the waves are in phase and destructive interference occurs when the waves are out of phase.

In a double slit experiment, the two slits acts as sources of light and thus the waves combine to produce interference patterns. When the waves are in phase, that is the angle between them is 0°, they form a constructive interference pattern which gives rise to a light band. When the waves are out of phase, that is the angle between them is 180°, they form a destructive interference pattern which gives rise to a dark band.

Note also that diffraction patterns are also observed for wide slits but can be neglected for smaller slits.
