In Mayan Civilization, religion is very important and prevalent because it has power over people. It was characterized by the worship of nature gods (specifically the sun, rain, corn), priestly class, divination, rituals of human sacrifice, importance of astrology, worship in stone pyramids and temples and elaborate burial of royalty.

Moreover, one evidence that shows religion has power over the Mayan Civilization is that the nobles and priest made up the upper class of the Maya people who believed their priest can communicate to their gods. With this, they listened and followed to them because no one argued or disobeyed the gods. The priest told the people when to plant and harvest, when and who to marry and even when to go to war. Therefore, religion was really rooted to Mayan Civilization for it impacted their way of life.

Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the longest wavelengths? Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wa

irinina [24]

Answer: Radio waves has the longest wavelength and Gamma rays has the shortage wavelength.

When wavelength increase and frequency decrease it is related to the energy of each type of radiation.

Explanation: The wavelength of Gamma rays is less than 10 pico meter and energy of Gamma rays is greater than 100kev while the wavelength of radiowaves is 100m to 100km and energy is 100ev to 100kev.

Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength so Gamma rays which have shortage wavelength will have highest energy and radio waves which have longest wavelength will have minimum energy

E=hc/wavelength

Which of these situations is most analogous to parallel computing?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

The key word is simultaneously when it comes to parallel computing. Although the option <em>could </em>potentially be C, it's more likely to be A because it's "more right" in the words of my old English teacher. This is because A implies them working on it at the same time to reach the goal more effectively (another key word).
