algol [13]

Answer:

amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and speed.

Explanation:  Sound is a type of wave that moves through matter and then vibrates our eardrums so we can hear. Light is a special kind of wave that is made up of photons. You can drop a rock into a pond and see waves form in the water. We even use waves (microwaves) to cook our food really fast. Water waves are the focus of our Tsunamis and surf resources, but many other kinds of wave exist. These include sound waves, light waves, radio waves, microwaves and others. All kinds of waves have the same fundamental properties of reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference, and all waves have a wavelength, frequency, speed and amplitude.

Explanation:

Hibernation is a behavioral adaptation that involves physiological changes to survive during wither months. These physiological changes can include a decrease in body temperature, respiratory/heart rate and metabolism. The main purpose for which animals enter hibernation is to conserve energy, thereby surviving adverse climatic conditions and/or periods when food is scarce. Some examples of true hibernators (i.e., animals that enter into a state of minimal activity) include bats, hedgehogs, allies, squirrels, marmots, etc.

What will a hypothesis become if supported by repeated expermentation
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Answer: The correct answer is- Theory.

Hypothesis can be described as an assumption or proposition, which is made on the basis of certain evidences without knowing the real truth about it. It is tested further for investigation about the proposed explanation with the help of repeated experiments (using certain protocols).

When it becomes supported by repeated experimentation, it is converted into theory.

Thus, theory is the right answer.
