D. Light travels as a wave but does not carry energy

Answer 1

im pretty sure it's letter C

Answer 2

C.

Answer 3

Thanks!

Answer 4

We see objects all around us because of ______ light.

A. polarized
B. diffracted
C. refracted
D. reflected

What about this one...

Answer 5

c

Answer 6

C.

Answer 7

whaaat it is clearly B

Answer 8

and the second one is C

Answer 9

i MEAN d

Answer 10

not reflection.

Answer 11

D is inncorrect.

Answer 12

Uhhhh

Answer 13

It's C. just go with C.

Answer 14

every thing dosnt reflectes.

Answer 15

no the light is refracted in your pupil allowing you to see around you. it is your peripheral vision.

Answer 16

it refracts.

Answer 17

for the second one right?

Answer 18

Refraction is your answer.

Answer 19

C for both questions

Answer 20

okay! lol
confusion..haha

Answer 21

noooooooo

Answer 22

?

Answer 23

the very first is B light behaves as particle and wave

Answer 24

then it is C the objects absorb certain colours and reflect other which are the ones we see

Answer 25

i mean D

Answer 26

Light is not a praticle, it's a wave that allows us to see when refracted into the peripheral vision.

Answer 27

IT IS BOTH

Answer 28

Tick all.

Answer 29

B I think

Answer 30

Not its not! Light is a wave, particles do not give off heat. Light has no properties of a particle.

Answer 31

havent you heard about wave particle duality ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave%E2%80%93particle_duality

Answer 32

hahaha....
i am just gonna go with my first answers...
CONFUSION!
lol

Answer 33

noo ypu are making a mistake go for B AND d

Answer 34

Hmmm

Answer 35

Santistebanc is right.

damn how much proof do I need

Answer 37

I<3Random have you asked in the science department of OpenStudy? Maybe you can get a definitive answer there

I think he is right....hahahahaha
This person has my exact questions...hehe

Answer 39

i have heard that they proved light acts only as a wave. it was fairly recent but i heard it in my physics class.

Answer 40

well it is still not official the very well known answer is the light as particle and wave

Answer 41

Wow....can you believe my luck..
I found all the answers to all of my exact questions...

Answer 42

But thanks guys.
very helpful :)

Answer 43

yeah i believe that. i would still go with it being a wave and a particle. you will know if they make it 100%

Answer 44

I think your teacher went easy on it and copied the questions from some web page
