Final answer:
The statement about a storage medium being called primary storage is false, as it refers to secondary storage used for long-term data storage. Regarding wave-particle duality, it is false for macroscopic objects and applies only to microscopic particles. The statement that high-voltage wires are wrapped in insulating material is false; they are held by insulators but not wrapped due to air insulation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that a storage medium is also called primary storage is false. Primary storage, often known as main memory or internal memory, refers to memory that is directly accessible by the CPU, such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and cache. Secondary storage or storage medium refers to non-volatile memory, like hard drives, SSDs, and USB drives, which is used for long-term data storage.
In response to the true or false questions:
- Wave-particle duality exists for objects on the macroscopic scale. The answer is false. Wave-particle duality is a principle of quantum mechanics that applies to particles at the microscopic scale, like electrons and photons, not to objects that we interact with in everyday life.
- The high-voltage wires that you see connected to tall metal-frame towers are held aloft by insulating connectors, and these wires are wrapped in an insulating material. The answer is false. While the wires are indeed held aloft by insulators, they are not generally wrapped in insulating material as the air provides sufficient insulation, and the high altitude reduces the risk of interference from animals or vegetation.
