La Nina a cooling of water in the Pacific that happens at irregular intervals and is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns complementary to those of El Niño, the heating of water. It is at the least less extensive and damaging in their effects.

Answer:

The correct approach will be the "Linguistic-relativity hypothesis".

Explanation:

This theory can be defined as either the Hypothesis of Sapir-Whorf. This theory proposes whether our cognitive capabilities are influenced by languages as well as decide how we start behaving and communicate throughout society.
Sapir Whorf explains these variations throughout the nature of human language throughout the manner a person understands the world.

Function of leaf in points

klasskru [66]

Explanation:

The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy.

Photosynthesis.

Transpiration.

Guttation.
Storage.

Defense.

I will be describing what each of these do to the plant.

Photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
Transpiration: Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
Guttation: Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and a number of fungi. Guttation is not to be confused with dew, which condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface. Guttation generally happens during the night time.
Storage: A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water. Storage organs often grow underground, where they are better protected from attack by herbivores.
Defense: The first line of defense in plants is an intact and impenetrable barrier composed of bark and a waxy cuticle. Both protect plants against herbivores. Other adaptations against herbivores include hard shells, thorns (modified branches), and spines (modified leaves).

What is the wavelength of light emitted when the electron in a hydrogen atom undergoes transition from an energy level with n =

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

$4.86\times10^{-7}\ \text{m}$

Explanation:

R = Rydberg constant = $1.09677583\times 10^7\ \text{m}^{-1}$

$n_1$ = Principal quantum number of an energy level = 2

$n_2$ = Principal quantum number of an energy level for the atomic electron transition = 4

Wavelength is given by the Rydberg formula

$\lambda^{-1}=R\left(\dfrac{1}{n_1^2}-\dfrac{1}{n_2^2}\right)\\\Rightarrow \lambda^{-1}=1.09677583\times 10^7\left(\dfrac{1}{2^2}-\dfrac{1}{4^2}\right)\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\left(1.09677583\times 10^7\left(\dfrac{1}{2^2}-\dfrac{1}{4^2}\right)\right)^{-1}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=4.86\times10^{-7}\ \text{m}$

The wavelength of the light emitted is $4.86\times10^{-7}\ \text{m}$ .

Acid rain is the direct result of acid released by burning fossil fuels. true or false

Airida [17]

True. Acid rain is formed when compounds released during the burning of fossil fuels, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide, dissolve in water droplets in clouds. These then fall as rain as part of the water cycle. While some rain is naturally acidic, human activities, like burning fossil fuels, have made it worse.
