Answer the following question given this paragraph: We already know that visible light is the type of electromagnetic waves to which our eyes respond. That knowledge still leaves many questions regarding the nature of light and vision. What is color, and how do our eyes detect it? Why do diamonds sparkle? How does light travel? How do lenses and mirrors form images? These are but a few of the questions that are answered by the study of optics. Optics is the branch of physics that deals with the behavior of visible light and other electromagnetic waves. In particular, optics is concerned with the generation and propagation of light and its interaction with matter. What we have already learned about the generation of light in our study of heat transfer by radiation will be expanded upon in later topics, especially those on atomic physics. Now, we will concentrate on the propagation of light and its interaction with matter. It is convenient to divide optics into two major parts based on the size of objects that light encounters. When light interacts with an object that is several times as large as the light's wavelength, its observable behavior is like that of a ray; it does not prominently display its wave characteristics. We call this part of optics "geometric optics. " This chapter will concentrate on such situations. When light interacts with smaller objects, it has very prominent wave characteristics, such as constructive and destructive interference. Wave Optics will concentrate on such situations. Q: What type of physics explains the behavior of visible light and electromagnetic waves? A:
OPTIONS:
- Quantum mechanics
- Thermodynamics
- statistics
- optics
optics

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Interneurons carry nerve impulses back and forth between sensory and motor neurons. Q: Interneurons carry what back and forth between sensory and motor neurons? A:
OPTIONS:
- sciatica
- electricity
- flux impulses
- nerve impulses

Answer: nerve impulses

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: This represents a human egg, which is the gamete, or reproductive cell, in females. Notice that is does not have a distinct shape, like a sperm cell has. The egg is a round cell with a haploid nucleus in the center. The egg contains most of the cytoplasm and organelles present in the first cell of a new organism. Q: What term means a reproductive cell, like the human egg in females? A:
OPTIONS:
- embryo
- zygote
- sperm
- gamete
Answer: gamete

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Some metals, such as gold and platinum, do not corrode easily because they are very resistant to oxidation by common substances. Some other metals begin to be oxidized, but are further protected from additional corrosion by a coating formed on the surface. Aluminum reacts with oxygen to form aluminum oxide, which remains tightly packed on the surface. The aluminum oxide prevents the interior of the aluminum from corroding. Not all corrosion is a result of reaction with oxygen. Copper corrodes by reaction with carbon dioxide to form copper(II) carbonate. This distinctive green compound is also called patina and prevents the copper underneath from further corrosion (see Statue of Liberty in the Figure below ). Q: Some metals, such as gold and platinum, do not corrode easily because they are very resistant to what? A:
OPTIONS:
- evaporation
- precipitation
- heat
- oxidation
output: oxidation

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The modern day formulation of gun powder is called black powder. It is still commonly used today. Its formulation is still quite similar to what was used in 9 th century China. Black powder is considered a low explosive. It is a mixture that burns quickly, but the resulting shock wave travels at subsonic speeds. The speed at which it burns is dependent on the accessibility of oxygen atoms to the carbon source. In contrast, high explosives like nitroglycerin detonate instead of burning, creating shock waves that are supersonic (faster than the speed of sound). Q: High explosives create shock waves that exceed the speed of sound, a phenomenon that goes by what term? A:

OPTIONS:
- light speed
- ion speed
- turbulence
- supersonic

A: supersonic

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cells with different functions often vary in shape. They may also vary in size. However, all cells are very small. Even the largest organisms have microscopic cells. Cells are so small that their diameter is measured in micrometers. A micrometer is just one-millionth of a meter. Use the sliding scale at the following link to see how small cells and cell parts are compared with other objects. Q: What do all cells have in common? A:
OPTIONS:
- same shape
- same function
- life span
- small size
small size
