Let \(p(y)\) denote the probability function associated with a Poisson random variable with mean \(\lambda\) a. Show that the ratio of successive probabilities satisfies \(\frac{p(y)}{p(y-1)}=\frac{\lambda}{y}\), for \(y=1\), 2,.... b. For which values of is \(p(y)>p(y-1)\)? c. Notice that the resul

Problem 65GP Light of wavelength 590 nm passes through two narrow slits 0.60 mm apart. The screen is 1.70 m away. A second source of unknown wavelength produces its second-order fringe 1.33 mm closer to the central maximum than the 590-nm light. What is the wavelength of the unknown light?

Campbell Biology in Focus - Standalone book 1
Herbivory (plant eating) has evolved repeatedly in insects, typically from meat-eating or detritus-feeding ancestors (detritus is dead organic matter). Moths and butterflies, for example, eat plants, whereas their sister group (the insect group to which they are most closely related), the caddisflies
