True or False'
1) When an electron's location is measured, it's always found at a single location (not spread out like a wave)
2) People have their best color vision in the center of our field of view, but can detect very low intensity light better slightly off center.
3) A good voltmeter should have low resistance (as low as possible).
4) Sound waves are longitudinal waves that cannot travel through a vacuum, while light waves are transverse waves that can travel through absolute vacuums.
(1) yes that's true wave are disturbance , where some needs
material for there propagation , but the truth is that waves has
negligible mass to hold , that is why it is always travelling in a
spread manner .
(2) No , because the color of an image is always given , though the
intensity from another source light can alter light wave from
entering into the eyes but this does not stop the eyes from
producing color. And which our eyes can also determine intensity of
light very better because of the photosensitive cells in
them.
(3)true, because a voltometer must have low resistance so that it
won't alter the measurements of voltage , that's is if the
resistance high in the voltage it will also reduce the voltage in
the material giving disaccurate result.
(4) true sound wave are longitudinal wave why? Because they travel
parallel to the direction of the vibration of the medium.while
transverse wave are one which travel perpendicular, an experiment
as shown that sound is a mechanical wave and also can't travel in a
vacuum that has been tested by bell ringing. But light can, because
light attian it maximum speed of 3x10^8m/s when travelling through
a vacum

True or false: Clearly write whether the statement is true or false in the blank. Write a brief explanation for the reasoning used to arrive at your answer in the space provided, 1 point each. 1) A transverse mechanical wave passes through a material. This is a transverse wave if portions of the material undergo simple harmonic motion in the direction of the wave's motion Answer 2) Two longitudinal waves with different amplitudes are observed. The wave with the greatest...
