Select the reasons why most professional telescopes are reflectors rather than refractors. It is easier to make a large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope. Reflecting telescopes have shorter focal lengths than refracting telescopes. Only the front surface of a mirror has to have a precise shape. Mirrors allow for chromatic aberration. A reflector can collect more light than a refractor. A lens has to be supported only around its edges.

Which of these statements is most likely correct about a weak nuclear force? (2 points) It binds electrons and protons. It is a repulsive force. It is an attractive force. It binds protons and neutrons.

Which of the following describe the expansion coefficients for a general state? $a_{n}=\langle \psi _{n}\vert \psi \rangle =\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }dx\psi _{n}^{\ast }(x)\psi (x)$ $a_{n}=(\sum _{n}\vert \psi _{n}\rangle )\vert \psi \rangle $ $a_{n}=\langle \psi _{n}\vert \psi \rangle ^{\ast }=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }dx\psi _{n}(x)\psi ^{\ast }(x)$ $a_{n}=\langle \psi _{n}\vert \psi _{m}\rangle =\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }dx\psi _{n}^{\ast }(x)\psi _{m}(x)$

Match each statement to the wave interaction it describes. \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline\ reflection\ &\ Waves\ bounce\ off\ an\ object.\ \\ \hline\ absorption\ &\ Waves\ are\ taken\ in\ by\ an\ object.\ \\ \hline\ transmission\ &\ Waves\ bend\ while\ passing\ from\ one\ medium\ to\ another.\ \\ \hline\ diffraction\ &\ Waves\ scatter\ through\ an\ opening\ or\ around\ an\ object.\ \\ \hline\ retraction\ &\ Waves\ go\ through\ an\ object.\ \\ \hline \end{array}

A wave function can be expanded in basis states as $\vert \psi \rangle =\sum _{n}a_{n}\vert \psi _{n}\rangle $ What must be true of the expansion coefficients? $\sum _{n}\vert a_{n}\vert ^{2}=1$ They must be real numbers. There is no restrictions on the coefficients. $\sum _{n}a_{n}=1$

Which of the following expressions correspond to the energy-time uncertainty principle? $\Delta E\Delta t\geqslant 2\bar {h}$ $\Delta E\Delta t\geqslant \hat {h}$ $\Delta E\Delta t\geqslant \frac {h}{2}$ $\Delta \omega \Delta t\geqslant \bar {h}$

Consider the following force: A fridge magnet is pulling on a paper clip. According to Newton's third law what other force must be happening? The paper clip is pushing on the fridge magnet. The paper clip is pulling on the fridge magnet.
