The speed of the wave is 40 cm/s

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the frequency of the wave, which is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

For the wave in this problem,

T = 0.5 s

So, its frequency is

f=\frac{1}{0.5}=2 Hz

Now we can find the speed of the wave using the wave equation:

v=f \lambda

where:

f = 2 Hz is the frequency

\lambda = 20 cm is the wavelength

Substituting,

v=(2)(20)=40 cm/s

What is the difference between Drift current & Diffusion current ?
dsp73
The main difference between the drift current and diffusion current is the corresponding reaction of the semiconductor materials in the electric fields. In electric fields, when semiconductor material's movement go along with the direction of the electric field it is called drift current, but when it tends to go from high concentrated area to lower concentrated area then it is diffusion current.

Why are not all microorganism harmful?
son4ous [18]


In nature there are two categories of microorganisms as relating to health. Microorganisms that are considered harmful to humans are called pathogens and these cause disease. Examples include bacteria such as streptococcus which cause sore throat and salmonella which cause typhoid disease.

 There are some microorganisms which are helpful to man and they live mostly on the skin of man or in his gut and are mostly bacteria. They are collectively called bacterial normal flora.

In man the normal bacterial flora of the skin include staphylococcus found on dry skin, cornybacteria found in moist skin sites and propionibacteria in the sebaceous sites (head, neck, trunk) of the body. Normal bacterial flora of the gut include Escherichia coli.

One of the major function of bacterial flora is actually to protect our bodies  by competing for space with pathogens preventing them from gaining a foothold in our bodies.
