Diurnal motion

retrograde motion of the planets to epicycles

heliocentric model of the universe?
Kepler

the speed of an object in a particular direction


Velocity

motion is being enforced because it is the result of a force or external force applying to an object
Violent

a result of combination of two or more electromagnetic waveforms to form a resultant wave in which
the displacement is either reinforced or canceled
Interference

Physicist that formulated the hypothesis which electron being a particle has wave-like characteristics
Louis de Broglie

the separation of white light into different colors as it passes through a prism
Dispersion

Involuntary motion was the characteristic motion of plants and minerals


They do not have the will to do so

explains why the Earth is not disk-shaped


The only shape that cast a circular shadow in whatever direction is a sphere.

How did the Greeks especially Aristotle use the lunar eclipse phenomenon to explain that the
Earth is not flat?
He noticed that the shadow casts by Earth on the moon is round.

Kepler's discover of laws of planetary motion


By studying on Brahe's observation and data collected on the movement of Mars

statements that support diffraction


The slight bending of light as it passes around the edge of an object

wave has a small range of frequency


The wave carries less amount of energy

natural motion

aided Eratosthenes in measuring the Earth’s circumference
The shadow cast within the Syene and Alexandria during the solstice.

time of the year did Eratosthenes observe the pillar in Alexandria casted a shadow

explains the difference in the orbital period of Earth and Saturn


The length of a planet’s revolution in the Sun is proportional to its orbit’s size

What does the observer at rest on earth see the length of a spacecraft moving at nearly the speed of
light?
The length seems to be shorter

Wich of the following gives the precise explaination of blue t-shirt ?


Blue is reflected by the t-shirt

Based on a color espectra, determine the right sequence indicating a progressive rise in the energy
conveyed by the waves.
Infrared, visible light, ultraviolet

Why other colors cannot be used in a photographic dark room other than red?
Other colors have the greater frequency compared to red which means they also have
greater amount of energy that can damage the film in the photographic dark room.

How is frequency related to the energy an electron carries?


Increasing the frequency would increase the energy of the ejected electrons.
