12) 2m
13) Matter is another form of energy. The two share similar properties. Both are particles and waves and one can be transferred into another
14) Chemistry is the study of matter and how it changes. Matter IS energy. Energy is required to cause any type of change.
15) Interference between two in sync waves is what is responsible for the reoccurring pattern of light and dark bands due to the interference of crests and troughs in waves.

26) Huygens’s thought that because light from far away object could be observed from seemingly everywhere it was easier to consider that light was a wave. Otherwise, Huygens’s argued, an infinite number of particles would need to be created by something like a star, requiring an infinite amount of energy.
27) Since waves are all similar, all of these systems involve the movement of waves and are therefore analogous.

39) Anything with momentum has a wavelength and is therefore a wave. Since all matter must have mass and is moving to some extent this means all matter has the qualities of a wave.

42) 1.21*10-10 m
43) 1.2*10-11 m

49) In order to have a balanced charge, the protons and electrons must be equal since they are the only sources of + and – charge (respectively) in the atom.
50) Because electrons have the smallest mass of the classic 3 subatomic particles they require less energy to move at higher velocities. Therefore it is relatively easy to get these electrons moving very fast.
51) Since alpha particles are the only form of radiation that is positive and has a mass it would be the only particle that would bounce off of a positive nucleus.
52) Since they are located on the outside layer of the atom they are the particles that readily interact with other things outside of the atom. These particles naturally would have been discovered first because of this.
53) The first experiments done on atoms all depended on electro-magnetic interactions. Since neutrons are neutral, they would not have shown up in any tests done on to detect charged particles.
54) Since protons are positive and like charges repel one another, another type of particle is needed to keep the protons apart from one another while still binding them to the nucleus.
55) Because the electrons would need to continually radiate energy because they would have to be accelerating all the time in order to keep them from colliding with the positive nucleus.
56) Since only specific frequencies of light were emitted in these experiments, scientists could determine that only specific quantities of energy were being given off. It was noticed that there was a reoccurring pattern in these energies that corresponding to energy gaps between energy levels.
