What criteria are used to classify species in the Linnaean classification system?
The classification criteria for species based on the Linnaean classification system.
Answer to Problem 1RCC
Solution:
According to the Linnaean system, living things are divided into domains, which are divided into the kingdom, then phylum, classes, and family. Family is divided into the genus, and each genus contains different species.
Explanation of Solution
The main criteria of the Linnean system are to divide species based on their similarities into different groups. The highest of them is a domain. All living organisms are divided into domains. Every domain is divided into kingdoms. Many phyla make a kingdom. A phylum is subdivided into classes which contain different orders. The order is subdivided into families; these families contain organisms of different genera. Finally, one or more species combine to form a genus.
Other criteria under the Linnean system include naming the species. Each species have two parts in their scientific name. The first part in the scientific name is the genus name, and the other part is the species name. These names are written in italics where genus name is capitalized. For example, Homo sapiens where Homo is a genus and sapiens is a species name.

- How can i solve this if n1 (refractive index of gas) and n2 (refractive index of plastic) is not known. And the brewsters angle isn't knownarrow_forward2. Consider the situation described in problem 1 where light emerges horizontally from ground level. Take k = 0.0020 m' and no = 1.0001 and find at which horizontal distance, x, the ray reaches a height of y = 1.5 m.arrow_forward2-3. Consider the situation of the reflection of a pulse at the interface of two string described in the previous problem. In addition to the net disturbances being equal at the junction, the slope of the net disturbances must also be equal at the junction at all times. Given that p1 = 4.0 g/m, H2 = 9.0 g/m and Aj = 0.50 cm find 2. A, (Answer: -0.10 cm) and 3. Ay. (Answer: 0.40 cm)please I need to show all work step by step problems 2 and 3arrow_forward

As a woman, who's eyes are h = 1.5 m above the ground, looks down the road sees a tree with height H = 9.0 m. Below the tree is what appears to be a reflection of the tree. The observation of this apparent reflection gives the illusion of water on the roadway. This effect is commonly called a mirage. Use the results of questions 1 and 2 and the principle of ray reversibility to analyze the diagram below. Assume that light leaving the top of the tree bends toward the horizontal until it just grazes ground level. After that, the ray bends upward eventually reaching the woman's eyes. The woman interprets this incoming light as if it came from an image of the tree. Determine the size, H', of the image. (Answer 8.8 m) please show all work step by steparrow_forward
