Suggested Answer
The Principle of Conservation of Linear Momentum states that the total
linear momentum of a system is constant ( or conserved) if there is no
external force acting on the system.

Centripetal force ::: force that causes a body to move in a ci rcle, and its
direction is always towards the centre of the circle.
The statement is false.

Heat and electric conduction in metals are both caused by the many
free electrons that moves with high mobility.
There are no free electrons in thermal and electric insulators.
Thus thermal and electric insulators are poor conductors.
Steady state is' achieved when the temperatures at all points along the
metal rod are stable and not changing.

Interference is the superposition of two coherent waves to produce
points of maximum and minimum amplitudefintensrty.
Two conditions for welldefined interference are:
-both waves are coherent and same or almost the same amplitude .
Interference at G is constructive interference.
Intererence at H is destructive interference.

Continuous spectrum is produced when fast electrons from the cathode
are decelerated on collision with the target . The decrease in energy of
the decelerated electrons is radiated as photons in the conti nuous
spectrum.
Characteristic X-ray is produced when a vacancy in the inner shell
(e.g. K-shell) of the target atom is filled by an electron from a higher
shell .
