What else can I help you with?
Light that is trapped by matter is said to be?
Absorbed or attenuated.
A signal is attenuated in direct proportion to what factor?
Depends on what kind of modulation you're using. If frequencies, then it would be in wavelength or hertz; if amplitude, it would be in power or wattage.
Why low frequencies are highly attenuated?
Low frequencies are highly attenuated because they have longer wavelengths that interact with obstacles and are scattered, absorbed, or diffracted more easily than higher frequencies. This results in a greater loss of energy as the low-frequency sound wave travels through a medium.
What is an attenuated peak in a storm hydrograph?
Firstly an attenuation is the reduction in the peak of a hydro-graph as it movesdownstream, resulting in a more broad, flat hydro-graph.Therefore the attenuated peak is the highest point before it attenuates.
Does a fluid's density change when it is compressed and attenuated?
Yes it does change because its mass does not change but its volume does. When it is compressed the density will increase because its volume does. When it is attenuated will decrease because the volume does. Density is mass over volume. Remember: it only works because its mass stays the same and the volume changes.
What is a word that starts with an a that has the same meaning as lanky?
Angular or attenuated.
Which types of matter can be attenuated?
None. Light and sound waves can be attenuated, but not matter.
What does attenuated virus vaccine consist of?
attenuated virus consist of same virus but its capacity to cause disease has deleted by the process of attenuation.
Which color is LEAST attenuated in the water?
blue
Which vaccine contains weakened?
They are called attenuated vaccines. Attenuated means weakened, they do this usually with chemicals and then the attenuated viruses are not able to make you sick, but they are strong enough to trigger the immune response to provide immunity.An attenuated virus. Attenuated simply means weakened. For example, you will see references to this in regard to the flu vaccines. This is also abbreviated when talking about the flu vaccines as LAIV, Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine.That is a good description of what a vaccine is, although some other substances also could be described similarly. The weakened or killed virus in a vaccine is non-threatening to most people. It can be a problem for infants under six months old, some children and adults with under-developed immune systems or who have immune system disorders.
Who thought of using attenuated organisms for vaccines and how is this important?
Attenuated vaccines are created by destabilizing the virulence of the strain while still keeping the organism alive. Attenuated vaccines were first developed by Albert Calmette and Camille Guerin in their efforts to use an immunization as a cure for Tuberculosis in 1906.
Light that is trapped by matter is said to be?
Absorbed or attenuated.
The best example for attenuated-living vaccine is?
B.C.G Vaccine
What is a vaccine that contains live weakened pathogens?
They are called live attenuated vaccines. Attenuated means weakened. The nasal mist flu vaccine is an example of a live attenuated vaccine. The vaccines for flu that are injected are made from pieces of viruses or "dead" viruses. See the related question below for more information on these two types of vaccines.
Is there an antonym for 'unbridled'?
restrained attenuated calm stoic under control
What is attenuated flu vaccine?
Attenuated simply means "weakened". An attenuated flu vaccine refers to vaccines made with live viruses (so you get a good immune response), but they have been weakened chemically so that they are unable to give you the flu. There are two types of flu vaccines available in the US. What is called inactivated, inactive or "dead" vaccine and what is called "live", weakened/attenuated vaccine. The injectable vaccines (intradermal and intramuscular) are made with "dead" viruses and the nasal spray is made with "live" attenuated viruses.
What is meant by the term attenuated pathogen?
An attenuated pathogen is a weakened form of a disease-causing microorganism that is used in vaccines to stimulate an immune response without causing the full-blown disease. Attenuated pathogens are less virulent than their wild-type counterparts, reducing the risk of causing illness in vaccinated individuals while still eliciting a protective immune response.
