Answer:

Definition of spectral line: one of a series of linear images formed by a spectrograph or similar instrument and corresponding to a narrow portion of the spectrum of the radiation emitted or absorbed by a particular source.

Definition of Wavelength: can be defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave. It is measured in the direction of the wave. ... Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency. This means the longer the wavelength, lower the frequency.

So, the spectrum is the range of wavelength in visible light. While, wavelength is the length of a wave.

Achilles and the tortoise are having a race. The tortoise can run 1 mile (or whatever the Hellenic equivalent of this would be)

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds

Explanation:

The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).

To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:

$x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{tor}v_{tor}=1+t_{tor}\\x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{ach}v_{ach}=10t_{ach}$

The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):

$1+t=10t\\t=1/9 hour=0.11 hours$

Explain why urban sprawl occurs even though it negatively impacts the environment.

Grace [21]

Urban sprawl occurs when housing is filled in one location and car dependent communities are forced to moved away from the central urban areas where the population is too vast, even though this impacts the environment by increasing pollution and causing environmental degradation.
