Answer:
Physical adaptations do not develop during an individual animal's life, but over many generations. The shape of a bird's beak, the color of a mammal's fur, the thickness or thinness of the fur, the shape of the nose or ears are all examples of physical adaptations which help different animals survive.
Diffraction occurs when a wave moves through an opening in a barrier. This causes the wave to change direction and spread out.
Waves can behave in three different ways depending on the obstacles they encounter. They can reflect, refract or diffract. In diffraction, waves such as sound, light or water either bend around small objects that obstruct their passage or spread out as they travel through a gap in the barrier.
The degree of diffraction forms a direct relationship with wavelength. It generally increases as wavelength increases. Conversely, the amount of bending lessens as wavelength decreases. However, if the opening of the barrier is smaller than the wavelength, the effect of diffraction is not easily observed. Hope this helps.
When Went placed the agar block on one side of the decapitated shoot, the shoot curved away from the agar as it grew. This demonstrated that some kind of hormonal signal had diffused into the agar from the coleoptile tips. ... Went's experiment represented the first time that anyone had isolated a hormone from plants.
