a)When silver nitrate comes in contact with skin, it is reduced to white color metallic silver.In most cases, a black stain appears due to formation of finely divided silver which has black color.

The black color is due to the decomposition of the Ag+ ion into Ag, silver. Silver nitrate will slowly decompose with the silver ion reverting to elemental silver. The microscopic particles of silver are so small that they absorb light instead of reflecting it, and so appear black, instead of silver....

No, if three vectors do not lie in a plane, they cannot give zero resultant.

Explanation:

Let A, B and C be three vectors. If they give zero resultant, then

     A+B+C=0

or, A= -(B+C)

Hence, they will produce zero resultant, if A is equal to negative of vector (B+C). The vector (B+C) lies in the plane of B and C. Hence, A will be equal to negative of (B+C) if A, B and C all lie in a plane.

Well, the propagation of light is fundamentally due to oscillation of electric field and magnetic field perpendicularly, which allows the light waves to propagate in the direction perpendicular to both the existing fields, i.e. light waves propagation solely depends on these fields.

But, sound waves are non other than the transference of energy due to disturbance, as well the propagation of sound wave has already been found to be adiabatic in nature, and through the adiabatic equation,...
