Answer:
d). It is easier to make a large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.
f). A reflector can collect more light than a refractor.
Explanation:
A telescope is a device that is used to observe distant objects by the use of lenses and mirrors. It is also used to observe different distant objects by their reflection, absorption, emission or the reflection of the electromagnetic radiations.
Most of the professional telescopes are reflectors because :
1. The reflected telescope is able to receive more of the light when it reflects all the light falling on surface. And it is easier for making a large telescope rather then making large lenses for the refracting telescope. So it is easier to make large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.
2. A reflected telescope receives all the wavelength of the light and it reflects all the light falling on the surfaces where it is refracted telescope that contains lenses cannot absorbs all the light and causes the chromatic aberration.
Explanation/Answer:
Among Russia's most important environmental problems: Water pollution is the most serious concern. Less than half of Russia's population has access to safe drinking water. ... Air quality is almost as poor as water quality, with over 200 cities often exceeding Russian pollution limits, and is likely to worsen.
The major source of air pollution that disrupts the atmosphere’s natural cycles is the combustion of <u>fossil</u> fuels.
The following are the achievements of the Olmec
civilization:
1.
Water Drainage
-
This civilization was able to construct an
extensive drainage system that is made up of conduits. This was discovered by
the archaeologists in the town of San Lorenzo, the largest city of Olmec
cities. These was carved into a U type shape and covered by capstones. This was
believed to be used as aqueduct to provide water throughout the cities.
2.
Calendar system
-
It was discovered that Olmecs have their own
calendar system. They are using shells to represent numbers in their calendar which
starts with zero. This is one of the first uses of zero as starting point of a
number.
3.
Ulama
-
This is a game of the Olmecs with the objective
of knocking the ball through the hole with the use of hips. The sap of a rubber
tree was utilized to produce balls that was used before.
4.
Writing system
-
They are usually credited as one of those
civilizations to be the first to have their own writing system in America. Their
writing is mostly symbols rather than letter representation.
5.
Compass
-
They are the one to first create compass that
existed in America with the basic understanding of gravity and magnetism.
