What principle is responsible for light spreading as it passes through a narrow slit? a. reflection b. refraction c. polarization d. diffraction e. interference f. wave-particle duality again, explain your reasoning, show calculation:

Which of the following harmful chemicals are found in tobacco smoke? a. carbon monoxide b. carbon dioxide c. nicotine b. carbon dioxide d. both a and c

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.

Why can blue light and yellow light combine to produce white light? question 17 options: they are both primary colors of light. they absorb each other's wavelengths. because blue, yellow, and white are primary colors. they are complementary colors of light.
