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 :)

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The correct option is the number 2. Cystic fibrosis

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that affects the glands that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices, this genetic disorder makes the secretions more sticky and thick, they accumulate and produces blockage in the tubes, ducts and passages, in particular in the lungs and pancreas.

The mucus block the ducts that carry digestive enzymes from the pancreas to the small intestine. Without these digestive enzymes, the intestines are not able to completely absorb nutrients in the food. The result is often, little increase in weight and growth, intestinal obstruction, particularly in newborns (ìleo meconium), among others.

Cystic fibrosis also affects the epithelial cells of the sweat glands, children suffering from this disorder may have a kind of salt layer on the skin. They can also lose abnormally high amounts of salt when they sweat on hot days.
