Question

A student states, "The wave model is better than the particle model for electromagnetic radiation because it is easier to understand." Is the student's statement a scientific claim?(1 point)
Yes, it is because simpler scientific models are better.

No, it isn't because the particle model is better than the wave model.

No, it isn't because the statement is an opinion.

Yes, it is because there is ample proof that wave models are easier.

Answer 1

The student's claim did not follow the scientific method of discovery, hence, it is an opinion not a scientific claim.

What is the scientific method?

The scientific method is a procedure employed by scientific towards understanding the world around them as well giving explanation for phenomena in the natural world.

The scientific method involves:

• observations
• asking questions
• putting forward a hypothesis
• testing the hypothesis through experiments
• analyzing results of the experiments and drawing conclusions
• establishing a theory.

Since the student in question just put forward an opinion without testing it out using the scientific method, the statement is not a scientific claim.
