negative population growth

Explanation:

Negative population growth is not a major environmental issues in Central America, South America and the Caribbean.

The population in this region of the world has been on the increase.

Deforestation is a raging environmental concern in the this region of the world. New farm lands are cleared to grow food crops. Construction of roads and industries are seriously impacting the Amazon basin in Brazil.
Water shortages is on the rise also due to pollution of fresh water sources and underground water bodies.
This is all as a result of growing human population.

Using Wien’s Law, estimate the wavelength at which these common materials radiate their peak brightness (show your work):

SSSSS [86.1K]

Explanation:

Wien’s Law:

$\lambda _{max}\propto \frac{1}{temperature}$

The law states that the wavelength at which black body emits maximum heat is inversely proportional to the temperature of the body in Kelvins.

$\lambda _{max}=\frac{2.9\times 10^{-3}}{T}$

1) Walls at 300 K

$\lambda _{max}=\frac{2.9\times 10^{-3} mK}{300 K}$

$\lambda _{max}=9.666\times 10^{-6} m$

2) Ice water at 273 K :

$\lambda _{max}=\frac{2.9\times 10^{-3} mK}{273 K}$

$\lambda _{max}=1.062\times 10^{-5} m$

3) Hot water at 373 K :

$\lambda _{max}=\frac{2.9\times 10^{-3} mK}{373 K}$

$\lambda _{max}=7.775\times 10^{-6} m$

4)Skin at 310 K:

$\lambda _{max}=\frac{2.9\times 10^{-3} mK}{310 K}$

$\lambda _{max}=9.355\times 10^{-6} m$

5)An incandescent light bulb at 3000 K

$\lambda _{max}=\frac{2.9\times 10^{-3} mK}{3000 K}$

$\lambda _{max}=9.666\times 10^{-7} m$

Excessive fertilizer use on farm land can increase nitrogen and phosphorus levels in water from runoff and decrease dissolved ox

garri49 [273]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Eutrophication is a natural phenomena, in this the fertilizers which are rich in concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus due to the effect of surface runoff get deposited in the nearby water body such as river, lake, pond and others. These fertilizers facilitate the growth of aquatic plants in the water body. The excess growth of plants reduces the oxygen content of the water body, which results in decline in the population of aquatic animals and foul smell in water.
