Fossil fuels have led to an increase in food costs.

Explanation:

Buried organic material over million of years form combustible geologic deposits of organic materials called fossil fuels that can be converted crude oil, natural gas, or coal.

Fossil fuel are currently used as a source of energy in machine and equipment applied in the farming industry. Mechanization has been made possible due to this type of fuel availability thus larger farms have been prepared for cultivation.In addition, other processes such as planting,weeding and harvesting are currently performed by farming machines which are propelled by fossil energy. So in general, fossil fuels in the farming industry has led to increase in amount of crop harvested because more farms are under cultivation and farming process is now mechanized. However, due to use of machines and energy, the production cost has increased, thus to cover for this increased cost, the prices for food products increases, making the cost of food commodities to rise.

In a laboratory experiment, a diffraction grating produces an interference pattern on a screen. If the number of slits in (inclu

Darya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the number of slits increases, the intensity of fringes increases.

So, the fringes appear to be more bright.

As we know that the fringe width is inversely proportional to the number of slits, so as the number of slits increases, the fringe width decreases, hence the fringes are narrower, bright and close together.
