Indicate which of the options about the "true value of a magnitude" is false:(A). it cannot be known, since it is not possible to make a measurement without error(B). it can be estimated, but always in terms of probability(C). with a probability of 95% we can consider that it is within an interval with a center at the mean and a width four times the standard deviation of the mean(D). it will be more limited the more measurements are made

In an experiment, beams of neutral carbon atoms (C), C+ cations, and C anions fly from the left to the right between two metal plates, as shown in the figure. The top plate is connected to the positive terminal of a battery, while the bottom - to the negative terminal of the same battery. How will the electric field between the plates affect the trajectories of each type of particles: will they be deflected upward (trajectory 1), remain unaffected (trajectory 2), or be deflected downward (trajectory 3)? The C+, C, C- beams will follow trajectories 1,3,2 3,2,1 3,1,2 2, 3, 1 + 1, 2, 3 ---> respectively. 1 2 3
