Your professor gives you a summer job organizing his lab. on the first day, you come across three identically shaped cylinders of metal, each having a diameter of 7.99 mm and a length of 7.31 cm. they appear to be made out of different metals, but they are not labeled! they are, however, packaged with a table of the conductivities of several metals. you locate a multimeter and use it to measure the electrical resistance of each cylinder. using the measured resistances and the table of conductivities, identify the metal that each cylinder is composed of.

Astudent is given an assignment to demonstrate diffraction. he takes a photograph of a straw in a glass of water. the straw appears bent at the water level. which best describes this example? a) this is a good example of diffraction. b) this is an example of dispersion and not diffraction. c) this is an example of refraction and not diffraction. d) this is an example of reflection and not diffraction.

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

What happens when chlorine reacts with bromine? a. electrons move from the chlorine atoms to the bromine atoms. b. electrons move from the bromine atoms to the chlorine atoms. c. electrons are shared between the chlorine atoms and the bromine atoms. d. electrons become delocalized among the atoms.
