Answer:
Explanation:
A general wave function is given by:
A: amplitude of the wave = 0.075m
k: wave number
w: angular frequency
a) You use the following expressions for the calculation of k, w, T and λ:
b) Hence, the wave function is:
c) for x=3m you have:
d) the speed of the medium:
you can see the velocity of the medium for example for x = 0:
Answer:
0.0000076 grams
Explanation:
We're given the half life of Tritium to be 12.3 years. In order to find out the amount of substabce remaining:
Let's first find how many 'half lives' are in 250 years.
Now what is half life? It means the time taken for a given quantity of an element to lose half it's mass.
So in 12.3 years we can find that The amount of 250 g of Tritium will be 250/2 = 125 g. In 24.6 years we'll have 125/2 = 62.5 g
So now we can devise a formula:
Where m is the remaining amount and n is th number of half lives in the time given.
Using this formula we can calculate:
Doing this calculation we get:
As we can see a very small value remains.
