<span>Brass is an <u>alloy</u>. An alloy
is a mixture of elements to form a unique material. Brass is a mixture of copper
and zinc and the percentage of each element depends on the desired material. It
has a higher malleability than bronze or zinc. Meaning that it can be bend
easily into it desired form.</span>
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: (1) The correct answer is A.
(2) The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
(1)
Reflection is the sending back of light from the surface without absorbing it. In the reflection phenomenon, the wave does not continue moving forward.
Diffraction is the bending of the light around the obstacle. In the diffraction phenomenon, the wave travels forward after striking around the obstacle. 
Therefore, the correct answer is A.
(2)
Amplitude is the maximum displacement in the medium from the rest position.
The amount of energy is related to the amplitude. Amplitude is related to the amount of energy carried by the wave. Low energy wave is characterized by a low amplitude. High energy wave is characterized by a high amplitude.
Therefore, the correct option is D.

Answer:
A) wood, water, neon gas 
Explanation:
Matter, which constitutes every known substances is said to exists in three states namely: gaseous, solid and liquid. Each state of matter contain particles that make up their structure.
- Solids have well arranged particles that are tightly packed together to give it its solid shape. Example is wood
- Liquids have particles that are loosely packed together, hence, can still move about. Example is water
- Gases have particles that are not packed together, hence, their ability to roam freely. Example is neon gas
Based on this, the order of MOST to LEAST ordered particle arrangement is solid - liquid- gas i.e. wood - water - neon gas.
