Answer:

True, the flow of energy through living systems can be modeled as food chains

Explanation:

A food chain shows how energy flows from one organism to another. In general, energy flows from the Sun to producers and then to consumers. The path is linear as

the energy present in one step is transferred to the next.

For example, grasses and scattered trees growing in a field,the grass and trees are producers that use sunlight to carry out

photosynthesis. Grasshoppers are herbivores that live in grassland ecosystems. They get energy

by eating grass and leaves.

The early workers in spectroscopy (Fraunhofer with the solar spectrum, Bunsen and Kirchhoff with laboratory spectra) discovered

Anestetic [448]

The hot gases produce their own characteristic pattern of spectral lines, which remain fixed as the temperature increases moderately.

<h3><u>Explanation: </u></h3>

A continuous light spectrum emitted by excited atoms of a hot gas with dark spaces in between due to scattered light of specific wavelengths is termed as an atomic spectrum. A hot gas has excited electrons and produces an emission spectrum; the scattered light forming dark bands are called spectral lines.

Fraunhofer closely observed sunlight by expanding the spectrum and a huge number of dark spectral lines were seen. "Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff" discovered that when certain chemicals were burnt using a Bunsen burner, atomic spectra with spectral lines were seen. Atomic spectral pattern is thus a unique characteristic of any gas and can be used to independently identify presence of elements.

The spectrum change does not depend greatly on increasing temperatures and hence no significant change is observed in the emitted spectrum with moderate increase in temperature.

One of the harmonics on a string 1.30m long has a frequency of 15.60 Hz. The next higher harmonic has a frequency of 23.40 Hz. F

Alja [10]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{(a) 7.800 Hz; (b) 20.3 m/s; 40.6 m/s; 60.8 m/s}}$

Explanation:

a) Fundamental frequency

A harmonic is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.

$\dfrac{\text{23.40 Hz}}{\text{15.60 Hz}} = \dfrac{1.500}{1} \approx \dfrac{3}{2}$

$f = \dfrac{\text{24.30 Hz}}{3} = \textbf{7.800 Hz}$

b) Wave speed

(i) Calculate the wavelength

In a fundamental vibration, the length of the string is half the wavelength.

$\begin{array}{rcl}L & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\text{1.30 m} & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\lambda & = & \text{2.60 m}\\\end{array}$

(b) Calculate the speed s

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{1}& = & f_{1}\lambda\\& = & \text{7.800 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{20.3 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{2}& = & f_{2}\lambda\\& = & \text{15.60 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{40.6 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{3}& = & f_{3}\lambda\\& = & \text{23.40 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{60.8 m/s}\\\end{array}$

The presence of a uniform magnetic field may be detected by using a

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Magnetic compass

Explanation:

A magnetic field is a field that describes the magnetic effect of electric charges in a relative motion.

Magnetic field allows magnets to interact without contact. The principle involved in the function of the compass is that a magnetic field exerts a force on any moving charge and can be measured and detected by this effect.
