C. Ole Roemer
The first successful measurement of the speed of light was made by Danish astronomer Ole Rømer in the late 17th century. In 1676, Rømer observed the eclipses of Jupiter’s moons and noted that the time between eclipses varied depending on the position of Earth in its orbit. He realized that this variation was due to the time it took for light to travel across the changing distance between Earth and Jupiter.

Which of the following is responsible for largest amount of oxygen on earth?
1
A. Peat bogs
B. Algae
C. Trees
D. None of these
B. Algae
algae is responsible for producing the largest amount of oxygen on Earth through the process of photosynthesis. Algae are simple, aquatic organisms that use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce energy in the form of sugar, while releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. In fact, it is estimated that algae are responsible for producing about 50-80% of the oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere, with the remaining amount produced by land-based plants. This makes algae a crucial component of the Earth’s ecosystem and a vital source of oxygen for all living organisms.

The Reason for a Swimming Pool to appear Less Deep than the actual depth is__________?
0
A. Refraction
B. Light scattering
C. Reflection
D. Interference
A. Refraction
The reason a swimming pool can appear less deep than its actual depth has to do with the way light is refracted or bent as it passes from water to air. When light passes through a medium like water, it slows down and changes direction, which causes the object viewed through the water to appear closer to the surface than it actually is.
This effect is known as refraction, and it is more pronounced when looking at objects at an angle, such as the bottom of a swimming pool. As a result, the bottom of the pool may appear closer to the surface than it actually is, making the pool appear shallower than its true depth.

A reptile with a four-chambered heart is______________?
0
A. Snake
B. Turtle
C. Lizard
D. Crocodile
D. Crocodile
There is only one group of reptiles that have a four-chambered heart, and that is the crocodilians, which includes crocodiles, alligators, caimans, and gharials.
A four-chambered heart is a feature of endothermic animals, such as birds and mammals, and is typically associated with a high metabolic rate. The four chambers of the heart allow for the efficient separation of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood, which is essential for supporting the high energy demands of these animals.
Crocodilians, despite being ectothermic (cold-blooded), have a four-chambered heart that is functionally similar to that of birds and mammals. This is thought to be an adaptation to their semi-aquatic lifestyle, which requires them to hold their breath for extended periods of time while diving for prey.
Having a four-chambered heart also allows crocodilians to shunt blood away from the lungs and directly to the rest of the body when they are underwater, and then quickly redirect blood to the lungs to take in oxygen when they surface to breathe. This helps them conserve energy and prolong their time underwater.
