Why did scientist reject Lamarck's idea of evolution?

Physics
1 answer:
laila [671]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Lamarck's theory of evolution, also called as theory of inheritance of acquired traits was rejected because he suggested that the acquired characteristics which an organisms acquires through its life experiences are transferred to its next generation, which is not possible since acquired characters does not bring any change to an individuals set of genes.

Answer: Traits acquired during a lifetime are not passed through offspring. (C.)

You have two contentious friends, Chris and Pat, and you’ve quickly discovered that they need you to resolve arguments they have
pshichka [43]

Answer:

v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt

this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points,

Explanation:

To resolve the debate, it must be shown that the two have part of the reason, the space or distance between the two points divided by time is the average speed between the points.

             v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt

this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points, in the only case that it is so is when there is no acceleration.

Therefore neither of them is right.

Violet light of wavelength 405 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.890 eV from a certain metal. What is the b
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

  Ф = 2.179 eV

Explanation:

This exercise has electrons ejected from a metal, which is why it is an exercise on the photoelectric effect, which is explained assuming the existence of energy quanta called photons that behave like particles.

            E = K + Ф

the energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation

            E = h f

we substitute

           h f = K + Ф

           Ф= hf - K

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

            c = λ f

            f = c /λ

            Φ = \frac{hc}{\lambda } - K

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

            K = 0.890 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 1.424 10⁻¹⁹ J

calculate

           Ф = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/405 10⁻⁹  -1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 4.911 10⁻¹⁹ - 1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 3.4571 10⁻¹⁹ J

         

we reduce to eV

           Ф = 3.4871 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

           Ф = 2.179 eV

A pair of slits separated by 1 mm, are illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength 411 nm. The light falls on a screen 1.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

t = 0.192 \mu m

Explanation:

Path difference due to a transparent slab is given as

\Delta x = (\mu - 1) t

here we know that

\mu = 1.79

now total shift in the bright fringe is given as

Shift = \frac{D(\mu - 1)t}{d}

Also we know that the fringe width of maximum intensity is given as

\delta x = \frac{\lambda D}{d}

now we have

\frac{D}{d} = \frac{\delta x}{\lambda}

now the shift is given as

Shift = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}

given that the shift is

Shift = 0.37 \delta x

here we have

0.37 \delta x = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}

now plug in all values in it

0.37 = \frac{(1.79 - 1) t}{411 \times 10^{-9}}

t = 0.192 \times 10^{-6} m

t = 0.192 \mu m
