    B Hooke’s Law Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Snell’s Law Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Henry’s Law Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

     Hooke’s Law states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional to the distance it is stretched or compressed, mathematically expressed as F = kx, where F is the force applied, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement.
