This diagram shows a probability map of electron positions in an atom. Blue represents a high probability of finding the electron, while black represents zero probability of finding the electron. Which statement is true as we understand it today?

A) The electron can "jump" from the inner blue region to the outer blue region without crossing the space in between. B) An electron in the inner blue region can never move to the outer blue region. C) We say that the black region is "excluded," in accord with the exclusion principle. D) The electron can move from the inner blue region to the outer blue region only by moving through the black region at high speed.

What causes the radio pulses of a pulsar?

A) The star vibrates. B) As the star spins, beams of radio radiation sweep through space. If one of the beams crosses Earth, we observe a pulse. C) The star undergoes periodic explosions of nuclear fusion that generate radio emission. D) The star's orbiting companion periodically eclipses the radio waves emitted by the main pulsar. E) A black hole near the star absorbs energy and re-emits it as radio waves.
