Where do subduction zones often occur

Radio waves have a longer wavelength than microwaves. What else is true<br> about radio waves?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

As it was explained in the Introductory Article on the Electromagnetic Spectrum, electromagnetic radiation can be described as a stream of photons, each traveling in a wave-like pattern, carrying energy and moving at the speed of light. In that section, it was pointed out that the only difference between radio waves, visible light and gamma rays is the energy of the photons. Radio waves have photons with the lowest energies. Microwaves have a little more energy than radio waves. Infrared has still more, followed by visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.

That should be able to help answer your question :)

Explain why dogs pant during hot summer days using the evaporation concept?

damaskus [11]

All, or almost all, warm-blooded creatures get rid of excess heat by evaporating moisture from their bodies. It's a great system, because evaporation takes a lot of heat. That's the reason people perspire when we're active and build up a lot of heat inside. The evaporation of sweat from our skin carries away heat with it. Dogs do not sweat on their skin. The only place they can evaporate moisture is through their mouth. Panting speeds up the evaporation by blowing air across the moisture.

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 17.1 for wave interference problems. Two loudspeakers are placed side by side a distance d

Nimfa-mama [501]

Complete Question

The compete question is shown on the first uploaded question

Answer:

The speed is $v = 350 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of separation is d = 4.00 m

The distance of the listener to the center between the speakers is I = 5.00 m

The change in the distance of the speaker is by $k = 60 cm = 0.6 \ m$

The frequency of both speakers is $f = 700 \ Hz$

Generally the distance of the listener to the first speaker is mathematically represented as

$L_1 = \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2}$

$L_1 = \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2}$

$L_1 = 5.39 \ m$

Generally the distance of the listener to second speaker at its new position is

$L_2 = \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2 + k}$

$L_2 = \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2 + 0.6}$

$L_2 = 5.64 \ m$

Generally the path difference between the speakers is mathematically represented as

$pD = L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * \lambda}{2}$

Here $\lambda$ is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

=> $L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * \frac{v}{f}}{2}$

=> $L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * v}{2f}$

Here n is the order of the maxima with value of n = 1 this because we are considering two adjacent waves

=> $5.64 - 5.39 = \frac{1 * v}{2*700}$

=> $v = 350 \ m/s$

A transverse wave on a string has an amplitude a. A tiny spot on the string is colored red. As one cycle of the wave passes by

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Option D) 4A

Explanation:

As the cycle of the wave passes by, the amplitude gives the longest journey when the spot travels from the undistributed position. During each cycle the spot travels "Four times" .

Considering one of this cycle, if it begins to travel from it's undistributed position , there would be four movements i.e

* Upward movement through distance A

*Downward movement through distance A

*Downward again through distance A

*Upward through distance A.

Then it would travel back to its undistributed position held

What do zooplankton and krill have in common?

serious [3.7K]

<h2><em>Hello, thank you for choosing brainly today. My name is Ethan and I'll be solving your question. </em><em><u>"What do zooplankton and krill have in common?"</u></em></h2>

Krill and plankton are two groups of organisms found in the ocean. Krill are species of crustacean related to shrimp, and serve as a very important link in the food chain of the sea. Plankton consist of a larger group of organisms with much more variety, including bacteria, algae, protozoans, jellyfish and some species of cephalopods.

Propulsion

The primary factor that determines whether a species is plankton or not is propulsion. Plankton organisms lack the ability to swim against the tide, and instead float from place to place on sea currents. They may be capable of some movement, and some types of plankton can even hunt for food, but none is powerful enough to make its own headway through the ocean. Adult krill are capable of swimming against currents, but their larvae and eggs fall into the plankton category.

Variation

Krill are crustaceans of the Euphausiacea order, which consists of 86 different species. Plankton, on the other hand, can come from a wide variety of different species and orders. Plankton fall into three broad categories, depending on their primary function. Phytoplankton are plant-like organisms, capable of photosynthesis. Zooplankton are animal plankton species that get their nutrients by eating other microscopic organisms. Bacterioplankton are the smallest plankton, and often serve as food for zooplankton and other lifeforms.

Appearance

Krill species have similar characteristics and generally resemble tiny shrimp. Most species reach around 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) as adults, while the largest species can reach sizes of up to 15 centimeters (5.9 inches). Plankton, on the other hand, consists of organisms of many different shapes and sizes. The smallest categories include microscopic viruses, protozoans, small crustaceans, and other tiny organisms. At the larger end of the scale, megaplankton are any plankton over 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) in size, and include large animals, such as cephalopods and jellyfish. The largest plankton is the lion's mane jellyfish, which can reach 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) in diameter and grow tentacles more than 36.5 meters (120 feet) long.

Role

Plankton and krill serve similar, but slightly different, roles in the food chain. Phytoplankton synthesize nutrients, while bacterioplankton recycle nutrients from decomposing matter in the ocean, providing some of the fundamental sources of nutrition for all ocean creatures. Zooplankton serve to concentrate those nutrients by eating smaller plankton and serving as food for larger creatures. Krill are one step up in the food chain, eating plankton and serving as a nutrient bridge from microscopic life forms to larger fish and mammals.
