Answer:

Difference between reflection and refraction :

The reflection is the phenomena based on light propagation where the light bounce back after hitting a polished surface.

For example:- light bounce back at different angles when it hits a mirror or shiny metal.

The refraction is the also a phenomena based on light propagation where the light rays passes through a transparent surface and changes its direction by bending.

For example :-when we put a spoon in a glass of water, the spoon it refract light and appears bent.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Modern whales evolved by natural selection over long time periods through descent from common ancestors

Explanation:

According to the evolutionary theory proposed by Darwin, natural selection is a biological process by which organisms adapt and change in response to their environment. In this case, ancient whales that were better suited to environmental conditions survived and produced more offspring than non-adapted individuals. In consequence, predominant adaptive traits observed in modern whales were favored by natural selection in the past, while unsuccessful phenotypes progressively disappeared.

Scientists take scientific measurements carefully in order to ensure their reliability and validity. Which of the following is a

Lemur [1.5K]

The correct answer is C. An example of measurement bias in scientific measurement, of the available answers, would be a balance that always reads 0.1g. The other possible answers are all examples of devices or measurement techniques that would help a scientist to avoid measurement bias, rather than contributing to it.
