4-diffraction
<u>Explanation:</u>
Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different.Refraction is responsible for image formation by lenses and the eye.
Transmission of light is the moving of electromagnetic waves through a material. This transmission can be reduced, or stopped, when light is reflected off the surface or absorbed by the molecules in the material.
Reflection is when light bounces off an object.Light is reflected when there is a mismatch between materials through which the light is travelling.
Diffraction is the slight bending of light. The amount of bending depends on the relative size of the wavelength of light to the size of the opening.
<span>The ash trees are being cut when the show signs of
infestation of the ash borer. Ash borer in particular the Emerald Ash Borer
(EAB) is a tiny bug but can really do a great damage to the tree. When the tree
is infested with the ash borer, they lay their eggs in the bark of tree, when
the eggs hatch the lavas would start eating on the inner tissues of the tree
blocking the flow of nutrients and water in the tree that causes the tree’s to
death. If the tree is infested they cut
it down, burn and bury the wood to stop the spread of infestation. Ash trees
are valued for its strength and elasticity that is often used to make baseball
bats, bows, tool handles and other products that needs durable wood.</span>
The energy produced from flow of water or "Hydro-power" is different to energy produced from iron, petroleum and coal as it is a clean and renewable form of energy. Hydro-power is derived from the kinetic energy of the natural flow of water like in the case of a water mill whereas the other forms listed require combustion of the fuel source that produces harmful gases leaving a negative impact on the environment. Also, hydro-power is one of the cheapest forms of energy production.
However, it should be noted that large-scale production of electrical energy from flowing water known as "Hydroelectric Power" uses man-made dams to store water in lakes as a source of potential energy. These dams can also have a negative impact on the environment as the natural flow of water is restricted. Some scientists also suggest that the construction of a dam leads to an increase in the number of earthquakes in and around the area of construction.
