A student from Sidney, Australia compares the distance he obtained from the 1-st spark mark to the 25-th spark mark, with the similar result of a student who did the experiment in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Both students operated identical setups powered with 60 Hz AC, reported no missing spark marks, and achieved precision of their measurements in four significant figures. What difference in the results was found

Tafari worked one summer on a ship that set weather buoys in the ocean. he watched how one of the buoys moved in the water. describe which parts of the wave would cause the buoy to bob up and down. which wave property determined how fast the buoys bobbed in the water? he observed that when the wind blew harder, the ocean waves were larger, and the buoys moved away from the ship. what effect, if any, did the waves have on how far the buoys moved? explain your answer.

Identify the theory that can be used to explain each phenomenon. answers diffraction: wave theory interference: wave theory reflection: both particle and wave theories refraction: both particle and wave theories
