A cascade effect is an inevitable and sometimes unforeseen chain of events due to an act affecting a system. If there is a possibility that the cascade effect will have a negative impact on the system, it is possible to analyze the effects with a consequence / impact analysis. An example of the cascade effect caused by the loss of a top predator is apparent in tropical forests. When hunters cause local extinctions of top predators, the predators' prey's population numbers increase, causing an overexploitation of a food resource and a cascade effect of species loss. Another example is a lake system with four trophic levels, the model predicts with the removal of the top carnivore, the primary carnivore numbers will increase, in turn, reducing the number of herbivores, increasing the phytoplankton abundance, and decreasing the levels of mineral nutrients. The effects show a positive/ negative change in trophic level structure as it moves down.

A single slit is illuminated by light of wavelengths λa and λb, chosen so that the first diffraction minimum of the λa component
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Explanation:

First minimum of λa will be formed at 1 x λa D/d distance from the centre where D is distance of screen and d is width of slit.

As per given statement

λa D/d = 2 x λb D/d

λa  = 2 x λb

= 2 x 370 nm

= 740 nm

Let ma  th order of λa component coincides with mb the order of λb component

ma λa D/d = mb λb D/d

ma / mb = λb / λa

ma / mb = 1/ 2

mb = 2 ma

if ma = 4

mb = 8

if ma = 5

mb = 10

Question 2
ra1l [238]

Answer:

0.729 meters

Explanation:

d=(V0)t+(1/2)at^2

d=height of shelf

a=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)

V0=0 m/s (initial downward velocity)

t=0.38586 seconds (1.173 meters/3.04 m/s)

docker41 [41]

Answer: C. Expanding

Explanation:

When an object moves away from an observer, the light waves emitted by the object are stretched out making them have move towards the red end of the electromagnetic spectrum, where light has a longer wavelength. This phenomenon is known as the redshift (cosmological redshift). For most astronomical objects, the observed spectral lines are all shifted to longer wavelengths. It is caused solely by the expansion of the Universe and thus, the value of a redshift indicates the recession velocity of the expanding object, or its distance.

Redshift is opposed to the blueshift. Blue light wavelengths tend to be closer together hence blueshift light tends to be emitted from objects that are collapsing.
