Science
DefineA body of knowledge and the process of gaining new knowledgePseudoscience
DefineSometimes a practice or a belief claims to be science, but does not follow specific criteria. Criteria that define true science include scientific experimentation, replication of results,and peer review. Beliefs and claims that do not meet these criteria are called pseudoscience

Answer:

Science tests and proves; pseudoscience relies on evidence that supports a belief or theory.

Explanation:

Both science and pseudoscience have been used by scientists for ages.

Science is a factual approach to a problem. It tests the reliability, repeatability, replicability and tests any hypothesis to see if there is solid evidence to support the claim. This is done by a series of experiments that test the hypothesis. Based on the results, the hypothesis can either be nullified (rejected) or accepted.

Pseudoscience on the other hand, relies on evidence but lacks scientific practices to support the claim. The method is filled with errors as there is no proof.

To understand the relationships between the parameters that characterize a wave. It is of fundamental importance in many areas o

Monica [59]

Answer:

1) c.

2) a.)

Explanation:

At any wave, if its waveform repeats itself every time interval T, it is said that the wave is periodic, with a period T, which is the time needed to complete an entire cycle. The other options refer at the way in the waves propagates (longitudinal or transversal) and to the type of waveform (sinusoidal), so the right answer is c).

At any wave that propagates at a constant speed, there exists a fixed relationship between the velocity v, the frequency f and the wavelength λ, as follows:

$v = \lambda * f (1)$

So in order to v keep constant, if the frequency is increased, the wavelength will decrease in the same proportion, so a) is the right answer.

Of elements N, O, Cl, Na, and Which two would likely have similar chemical properties and why

velikii [3]

Oxygen and Nitrogen would be the most similar of the elements listed, because they are the closest in the periodic table. This isn't a very good reason for anything, but the two do have some similar properties. They are both non-metals, they are both highly electronegative, they are both diatmoic gasses in their natural states, they have a similar number of valence electrons, they are both generally oxidizing agents. Oxygen and Chlorine are also quite similar, but not quite as similar as Oxygen and Nitrogen.
