The wave model of light is needed to explain many of the phenomena discussed in this chapter. which of the following can be understood without appealing to the wave model? a. sharp-edged shadows b. double-slit interference c. thin-film interference d. single-slit diffraction

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)

Which is the best predictor of the radioactive nature of an isotope? o the proton-to-electron ratio the neutron-to-proton ratio o the neutron-to-electron ratio the electron-to-proton ratio
