Well, I think cynodonts is a good answer too. Actually, I was waiting for lytrosaurus but cynodonts and lytrosaurus are both subgroups of therapsids group.

Well, the red is more close to 800nm than to 700nm but 700 is good enough for me.19. What is called 'supercontinuum'?

A plethora of nonlinear effect leading to considerable spectral broadening of optical pulses and thereby potentially octave-spanning output. :sleep: WOW

Since this is not a really rigorous question, differentiation or derivation are both accepted answers.21. Is simultaneity a relative or absolute concept?

Exactly since simultaneity is closely related to the speed of light and since light speed is not infinite, the perception of a phenomenon depends of the distance that separates the observator from te object. So two events are simultaneous only if the information (light) come to the observator at the same time. For these two same events, in general, the information don't arrive at the same time for another observator that is on a different spot so that simultaneity is relative to the observator.22. What is the relation between light speed ( c ), wavelength ( l ) and frequency ( f )?

The distance from the center of an object if all the mass compressed within that region, the escape velocity would equal the speed of light. Once a stellar remnant collapses within this radius, light cannot escape and the object is no longer visible.Liking the light questions!
