The correct choice is genetic drift.

genetic drift is known as the variation in alleles number within a population and it mainly happens in small population where chances of losing an alleles are larger. it is common effect observed when significant number in a population die or when there is significant reduction in birth. hence genetic drift results in loss of genetic variation

Answer:

a) λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m b) λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

The diffraction network is described by the expression

d sin θ= m λ

Where m corresponds to the diffraction order

Let's use trigonometry to find the breast

tan θ = y / L

The diffraction spectrum is measured at very small angles, therefore

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

We replace

d y / L = m λ

Let's place in the first order m = 1

Let's look for the separation of the lines (d)

d = λ L / y

d = 501 10⁻⁹ 9.95 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

d = 332.33 10⁻⁹ m

Now we can look for the wavelength of the other line

λ = d y / L

λ = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 8.55 10⁻²/15 10⁻²

λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m

Part B

The compound wavelength B

λ = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 12.15 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m

Four equal masses m are so small they can be treated as points, and they are equallyspaced along a long, stiff mass less wire. T

gavmur [86]

The moment of inertia of a point mass about an arbitrary point is given by:

I = mr²

I is the moment of inertia

m is the mass

r is the distance between the arbitrary point and the point mass

The center of mass of the system is located halfway between the 2 inner masses, therefore two masses lie ℓ/2 away from the center and the outer two masses lie 3ℓ/2 away from the center.

The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moments of each mass, i.e.

I = ∑mr²

The moment of inertia of each of the two inner masses is

I = m(ℓ/2)² = mℓ²/4

The moment of inertia of each of the two outer masses is

I = m(3ℓ/2)² = 9mℓ²/4

The total moment of inertia of the system is

I = 2[mℓ²/4]+2[9mℓ²/4]

I = mℓ²/2+9mℓ²/2

I = 10mℓ²/2

I = 5mℓ²

I NEED HELP ASAP!!! 100 points if you answer these 7 questions:

netineya [11]

Answer:

#1. B. Alfred Wegener

#2. C. Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom.

#3. B, C. Continental, Sea floor (oceanic).

#4. B. Folding

#5. B. Tectonics

#6. C. Point underground where the earthquake starts

#7. C. Flood waters carrying away soil

Explanation:

#1. Alfred Lothar Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist. During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, and is also known as the father of plate tectonics.

#2. The most prominent feature of ocean topography discovered in the 1960s was: Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom. The continents have always been in their current positions.

#3. Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust. The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic tectonic plates.

#4. Tremendous pushing forces exerted by two of Earth's plates moving together squeezed rock layers from opposite sides. This caused the rock layers to buckle and fold, forming folded mountains. Folded mountains are mountains formed by the folding of rock layers caused by compression forces.

#5. Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth's crust. It is widely accepted by scientists today. Recall that both continental landmasses and the ocean floor are part of the earth's crust, and that the crust is broken into individual pieces called tectonic plates.

#6. The hypocenter is the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts. The epicenter is the point directly above it at the surface of the Earth. Also commonly termed the focus. See also epicenter.

#7. This process is known as erosion. In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location.

Answer:

Gallium

Explanation:

Gallium is one such element used as a do/pant in a p-type semiconductor.

A do/pant is an impurity added to a semi-conductor used to alter its properties. Semi-conductors have a wide range of applications. They will conduct heat and electricity only under certain conditions. This property is highly desirable and find a wide application in electronics.

For p-type conductors, they are best do/ped with elements with 3 valence electrons. These are group 3 elements. From the choices, only gallium belongs to this group.

Other elements given are good do/pants for n-type semiconductors. They have 5 valence electrons.
