"Changing water salinity" is the most significant challenge for organisms that live in estuaries.

<u>Answer:</u> Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

For estuaries, alkalinity levels are usually the maximum at a river's mouth where the ocean water falls for, and the minimum upstream where freshwater falls in. Although salinity vary throughout the tidal cycle. In estuaries, salinity rates usually decrease in spring as snow melt and rain raises the freshwater flow from streams and groundwater.

It influences the chemical environments within the estuary, especially the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the water. The level of oxygen that would get dissolved in water or its solubility get declined when the alkalinity rises.

Why does a third class lever cannot magnify force?​
maw [93]

Explanation:

The third class lever cannot magnify our force because in third class lever the effort it between the load and the fulcrum. Also, in this type of lever no matter where the force is applied, it is always greater than the force of load. Hence, That type of lever cannot magnify our force.

(a) As a soap bubble thins it becomes dark, because the path length difference becomes small compared with the wavelength of lig
OLga [1]

Answer:

t< 75 nm

Explanation:

A soap bubble is a thin film where when the beam enters the film it has a 180º phase change due to the refractive index and the wavelength changes between

              λ = λ₀ / n

In the case of constructive interference in the curve of the spherical film it is

              2 nt = (m + ½) λ₀

Where t is the thickness of the film and n the refractive index that does not indicate that we use that of water n = 1.33, m is an integer. The thickness of the film for the first interference (m = 0) is

              t = λ₀ / 4 n

A thickness less than this gives destructive interference.

Let's look for the thickness for the visible spectrum

Violet light λ₀ = 400 nm = 400 10⁻⁹ m

      t₁ = 400 10⁻⁹ / 4 1.33

      t₁ = 75.2 10-9 m

Red light λ₀ = 700 nm = 700 10⁻⁹ m

       t₂ = 700 10⁻⁹ / 4 1.33

       t₂ = 131.6 10⁻⁹ m

Therefore, for all wavelengths to have destructive interference, the thickness must be less than 75 10⁻⁹ m = 75 nm

b) a film like eta is very thin, it is achieved when gravity thins the pomp, but any movement or burst of air breaks it,

What is the velocity of a wave with a wavelength of 1.5m and a frequency of 500 Hz
Schach [20]
Wave speed  =  (wavelength) x (frequency)

                       = (1.5 m) x (500 / sec)

                       =       750 m/s .
