1. Wave-like properties of light include which of the following? I. Interference II. Polarization III. The photoelectric effect
2. Which of the following best explains why hydrogen gas emitted light when electrified?
3. A student designed a procedure to determine the heat of fusion of ice. She constructed a calorimeter using a polystyrene cup and a thermometer. She weighed the cup, filled it with 150 mL of warm water, then weighed the cup and water together. The temperature of the water was measured, and then ice taken from an ice bath temporarily stored in a –20°C freezer was added to the cup. The cup with water and ice was weighed. The student then covered the cup with a polystyrene lid with two small openings. In one opening, she inserted a thermometer and in the other, she inserted a stirring rod to gently stir the contents of the cup until all the ice was melted. The lowest temperature reached by the water in the cup was recorded.Which of the following pieces of information is necessary to calculate the heat of fusion of ice from this data? I. The specific heat of water II. The specific heat of ice III. The thermal conductivity of water IV. The thermal expansion coefficient of ice

The lowest temperature reached by the water in the cup was recorded. Suppose a significant amount of water from the ice bath adhered to the ice cubes that the student added to the calorimeter. How would this affect the value of the heat of fusion of ice is calculated?
