Answer: 3.Reflection

Explanation:

The color of the objects is due to the light reflected to our eyes.The light falls on the surface of the object and the color which does not get absorbed by the object gets transmitted and thus appear to be of the same color as the reflected light. If an object absorbs all of the frequencies of visible light except for the frequency associated with blue light, then the object will appear blue

Absorption is defined as the process when one thing becomes part of another thing.

Diffraction is the phenomenon in which light bends around the corner of the obstacle in its path.

Reflection is the process in which light bounces off the surface when it strikes the surface.

Refraction is the bending of light when it passes from one medium to another.

The correct answer is Reflection.

When the light falls on the island which basically has lots of water then the light rays gets reflected back. This reflected rays makes the water look more bluer than the surrounding water. The phenomenon of reflection made water look more blue. As the thickness of water increases it appears to be more bluer than the surrounding less thicker water.

Summation that results from the cumulative effect of multiple synapses at multiple places on the neuron is designated.
Effectus [21]

Summation that results from the cumulative effect of multiple synapses at multiple places on the neuron is designated spatial summation.

  • A strategy for generating an action potential in a neuron using input from several presynaptic cells is called spatial summation. It is the algebraic addition of potentials from various input regions, typically dendrites.
  • This process, known as spatial summation, occurs when inputs from several neurons combine to cause an action potential. These potentials, which are often from dendrites, are combined to produce the spatial summation.
  • The likelihood that a potential will reach the threshold level required to trigger an action potential increases with the amount of excitatory postsynaptic potentials.
  • Similar to this, the likelihood of attaining the threshold potential to trigger an action potential decreases as the number of inhibitory postsynaptic potentials increases.
