Answer:

Prevalence would be more valuable

Explanation:

Prevalence is a measure of the frequency of individuals in a population affected by a condition during a particular period of time, while incidence is a measure that indicates the number of new individuals in a population who develop a condition during a particular period of time. Prevalence is different from incidence because prevalence includes all cases of a specified condition (i.e., new and preexisting cases). In consequence, in this case, prevalence is more valuable since it can be used to estimate the total number of infected bats. Conversely, incidence only is informative to determine the number of newly infected bats during a particular period of time, which may not be very informative because all infected bats (i.e., not only newly infected bats) can transmit the Nipah virus infection to humans.

Which of the following is a MECHANICAL wave vibration? * O Sound waves O Light waves O Radio waves O Reflection​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

An example of vibration by mechanical waves is sound waves.

Explanation:

Mechanical waves are those capable of transmitting energy, which can propagate in the same direction, resulting in an alteration of the mechanical properties of a material. As a result of this, the material presents changes in the energy of its atoms and molecules.

Sound waves are mechanical waves, which require a medium for transmission and act as elastic waves capable of propagating longitudinally, producing a vibration.

Sound propagates and can produce waves in water or vibrations that reach the eardrum and enable the reception of this sound.

    <em>The other options are not correct, because light and radio waves are electromagnetic waves that are transmitted in a vacuum, without producing vibrations. Reflection is a property of light.</em>
