Mainly ethnic minorities or people the Klan perceived as undesirable in American society such as Blacks, Jews, Catholics and homosexuals.

Aside from these, the Klan sometimes targetted those who respected such people - e.g a white person who regarded black people as equals or befriended them might be counted among those whom they directed their hostility towards.

Why did the ku klux klan wear white robes?

The Ku Klux Klan of the 1st era (ie, 1860's-1870's) did not have a certain color robe. However, in the 2nd ear (1915-1939, which includes the HUGE wave of the Klan during the 20's), they all had White robes, with the exception of some officers. This was done for 2 reasons. 1. The book 'The Clansman' (which was later made into the movie 'Birth Of A Nation', which helped fuel the Ku Klux Klan movement) spoke of Clansman (Klansman) who wore white robes, which of course were also a color of religious robes at the time, thus, linking them to heroism and Christianity. 2. White is the color of purity and with the Klan being for '100% Americanism, womanhood, and racial purity', it was an obvious choice. Today, White is still used for 'Knights', or 'ordinary' members and non-officers. However, for many officers (such as Grand Dragons, Knighthawks, etc), they often wear colored robes to show their designated rank.

What is the quantum wave model?

the quantam wave model is derived from the work of two physicists. One was Max Planck who proposed the idea of the quanta (discrete packets of energy) and the second of Albert Einstein who proposed the idea of light having both, particle and wave like properties. Hence the name "Quantam Wave".

Constructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave meets up with the trough of a second wave true or false?

False. Constructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave meets up with the crest of a second wave, or when the trough of one wave meets up with the trough of a second wave. This results in a wave with greater amplitude.


What is the number of wave crests that pass a place in one second called?

The number of wave crests passing a given place in one second is the frequency of the wave given in cycles per second, or Hertz.


What is a frequency of one wave per second?

A wave with a frequency of one wave per second is referred to as 1 hertz (Hz). This means that the wave completes one full cycle in one second. Examples include 1 Hz sound wave or a light wave with a frequency of 1 Hz.
