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.

Explain how cultural diffusion occurred in Mesoamerica despite the fact that the Olmec Maya and Aztec civillizations did not rul
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Cultural diffusion occurred in Mesoamerica even when the Olmec, Maya, and Aztec didn't rule at the same time as a result of certain occurrences:

The Mesoamerican cultures through the years tried to dominate one another. Thereby, this led to the conquering of neighboring nations which result in the conquered nation being greatly influenced by the cultures of the dominant nation.

For example, the Olmec were the earliest dominant nation, and their culture transcends to other neighboring nations that they conquered such as Mayans. The Olmec cultures were reflected through the rise of Mayan cultures, most especially in terms of architecture, knowledge, and religion.

Similarly, Aztecs were initially dominated by Toltecs and thereby got influenced culturally. The Toltec culture was later reflected in Aztec culture.
