The first known telescopes, used around 1600, consisted of a lens and an eyepiece. Today, telescopes are often computer controlled and consist of a complicated array of sophisticated lenses. Which statement correctly describes how telescopes have changed over time?

A
The telescopes of the 1600s were used until the year 2000, when a more sophisticated telescope was built.
B
The telescopes of the 1600s were gradually improved upon over time, resulting in the telescopes that are available today.
C
The telescopes of the 1600s were used until the year 1900, when a more sophisticated telescope was built that was used until the year 2000.
D
The telescopes of the 1600s were abandoned after about 50 years, and the technology was completely replaced.

When chemists convert ethene (C2H2) to ethanol (CH3CH2OH), they have a mixture of the two gaseous substances. Why do chemists then lower the temperature of the mixture?

A
to collect liquid ethene and leave ethanol as a gas because ethene has stronger dipole-dipole forces
B
to collect liquid ethene and leave ethanol as a gas because ethanol has stronger London dispersion forces
C
to collect liquid ethanol and leave ethene as a gas because ethanol has hydrogen bonds
D
to collect liquid ethanol and leave ethene as a gas because ethene has stronger London dispersion forces

Design an experiment that is based on previously published results.
B
Expose the treated iron to the corrosive effects of the air.
C
Test a large piece of treated iron and a small piece of untreated iron.
D
Test a piece of treated iron and a piece of untreated iron under the same conditions.

Increase the intensity of red light.
B
Decrease the intensity of red light.
C
Use a different colored light that has a higher frequency.
D
Use a different colored light that has a lower frequency.
