Answer:

Diffraction

Explanation:

Diffraction is the key explanation why we can hear sounds around corners but not see them. As compared to light waves, sound waves have much longer wavelengths, making diffraction effects much more visible. When the size of the object that the wave is diffracting around is about the same as the wavelength of the wave, diffraction effects become very visible.

Sound has a wavelength of 1 m, while light has a wavelength of 0.1 micro m. Reflection is a secondary reason. Sound waves bounce off walls in a specular way, allowing them to bounce around corners, but light bounces off walls in a diffuse manner.

hope this helps :)

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The brackish water adaptation is clearly necessary because the aquatic snails need to live in an environment in which the river system has a higher quantity of salt than what land snails can take. I can determine that the environmental factors influenced the inherited adaptations because the second population has a higher salt concentration in their habitat compared to the initial population.

How many consumers are omnivores in the food web below?
lord [1]

Answer:

1

Explanation:

Omnivores are animals that eat both plants and animals. If you look at the bottom of the food web, you need to look for arrows that point towards an animal that also consumes other animals. The arrows indicate that the energy is being transferred from the plants to the omnivore. The Raccoon is the other organism that eats both a producer (blackberries) and other predators such as garter snakes and meadow voles.
