What type circuit connection should a light bulb be connected to maintain maximum brightness? Answer. Placing cells in series increases the voltage in the circuit by 1.5 V for each cell. Increasing the voltage increases the brightness of the bulb. When a bulb in a series circuit is unscrewed all bulbs in the circuit go […]

What is the evidence that light is a wave? In 1801 a physicist in England, Thomas Young, performed an experiment that showed that light behaves as a wave. He passed a beam of light through two thin, parallel slits. The bright and dark bands demonstrated that the slits were causing light waves to interfere with […]
