None of the choices is an acceptable answer. Light ... as well as all other forms of electromagnetic radiation ... is both. When you run light through an experiment built to detect particles ... such as photoelectric stimulation of electron emission ... the light behaves like a stream of particles. When you set up an experiment built to measure and detect waves ... like reflection, refraction, diffraction, dispersion, constructive and destructive interference ... the light does all of those things too. Scientists would only debate the question if light absolutely positively had to be one or the other, and could not possibly be both. Such a debate isn't necessary, and scientists no longer waste their time arguing about it. Light is both. Between Maxwell and Einstein, the wave/particle duality of light had been convincingly demonstrated well over a hundred years ago.

A wire loop of radius 0.50 m lies so that an external magnetic field of magnitude 0.40 T is perpendicular to the loop. The field
vazorg [7]

The magnitude of the induced emf is given by:

ℰ = |Δφ/Δt|

ℰ = emf, Δφ = change in magnetic flux, Δt = elapsed time

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the loop, so the magnetic flux φ is given by:

φ = BA

B = magnetic field strength, A = loop area

The area of the loop A is given by:

A = πr²

r = loop radius

Make a substitution:

φ = B2πr²

Since the strength of the magnetic field is changing while the radius of the loop isn't changing, the change in magnetic flux Δφ is given by:

Δφ = ΔB2πr²

ΔB = change in magnetic field strength

Make another substitution:

ℰ = |ΔB2πr²/Δt|

Given values:

ΔB = 0.20T - 0.40T = -0.20T, r = 0.50m, Δt = 2.5s

Plug in and solve for ℰ:

ℰ = |(-0.20)(2π)(0.50)²/2.5|

ℰ = 0.13V
