What are the two theories of population? The theories are: 1. The Malthusian Theory of Population 2. The Optimum Theory of Population 3. The Theory of Demographic Transition. What are the three basic phases of population growth? They are: (i) the high stationary phase marked by high fertility and mortality rates; (ii) the early expanding […]

How many years does it take to be a clinical psychologist? To become a clinical psychologist, you will need an undergraduate degree (four to five years of college) plus a doctorate degree (four to seven years of graduate school). For this specialty area, most people will spend between eight to 12 years in higher education. […]

What causes a vortex in water? Vortices often form as a result of a difference in fluid speed – like when fast wind moves over slow wind. Because a vortex wants to keep its angular momentum, it keeps spinning as it moves through the water, and only loses a little bit of energy through friction […]

Is work done when you lift an object? The force you are exerting is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity. As you are lifting the object you are doing work on the object. The work W done on an object by a constant force is defined as W = […]

Which are characteristics of a ray when it hits a boundary and refracts but not? F. Only these two options are characteristics of a ray when it is refracted, but not when it is reflected. In fact: Reflection occurs when a ray hits the interface between two mediums and bounces off back. When it is […]

What is the point of neutrons? Neutrons bind with protons and one another in the nucleus via the nuclear force, effectively moderating the repulsive forces between the protons and stabilizing the nucleus. How quickly does a neutron bomb kill? two days Is there a doomsday bomb? In a 2-part episode of the TV show The […]

What sound intensity is defined as the level of pain? The level of pain is about 120 dB at all frequencies. The change in physical pressures from threshold of hearing to threshold of pain is twice as great at 2000 Hz (120 dB) as it is at 50 Hz (60 dB). How do you describe […]

Why is space important? Space also provides earth with valuable metals, rare objects and precious materials that can be used for medical research. Space is playing a valuable role in saving lives. If NASA stopped exploring our universe, we would not know important facts about space and our solar system. What is a fact about […]

Is loudness related to frequency? Now when talking about sound waves the sound level of a noise (loudness), it is proportional to the intensity of the source. The loudness of a sound does not seem to depend on frequency. But according to the equation above, intensity DOES depend on frequency. How loud is 1000hz? Using […]

What is center of projection? The center of projection is the origin or source of the stream of projecting rays. Depending on the distance between the center of projection and the image plane, the distinction should be made between central (conical) projections and parallel (cylindrical) projections. What is foreshortening factor? 3) The ratio of projected […]
