Answer:

Option A, B, C

Explanation:

A wave’s highest part is called crest and the lowest part is called trough. The vertical length between the highest and lowest part of wave i.e crest and trough is called wave height. Hence option A is correct. Steepness of waves is defined as the ratio of height of wave to its length i.e wavelength. Hence option b is correct

And the steepness of wave should never exceed the ratio of \frac{1}{7} , if ration exceeds \frac{1}{7}  the wave gets steep and finally breaks down

 

Hence, Option A, B, C  are correct

Answer: Option A,B and C.

Explanation:

A wave is a physical phenomenon that is described as disturbance of one or more field that travels through a medium, transporting energy from a location to the other without transporting matter.

Wave height is the vertical distance from crest to trough.

Wave steepness=wave height ÷ wave length.

If a wave steepness ever exceeds a 1 to 7 ratio, the wave breaks

Why is it important to understand the process of mitosis
Katyanochek1 [597]
It is important to understand because it's the way all cells reproduce (except sperm and egg cells, they do meiosis), and our cells are the essential parts of our whole being.

Which process MUST occur before mitosis and meiosis can occur?
Nikolay [14]
<span>What MUST occur before mitosis and meiosis can occur is B) DNA replication. DNA replication is a process of copying DNA into an identical copy. Before mitosis, the genetic material of the mother cell must duplicate so that each daughter cell have the same amount as the mother cell. On the other hand, meiosis is a reductive division. But meiosis II is similar to mitosis, so DNA replication is also necessary.</span>
