Nuclear fusion and fission involve changes in the nucleus of atom, but nuclear fission is  most  in employed nuclear power plants around the world whereas fusion occurs on the sun.

<h3>What are nuclear fission and fusion reactions?</h3>

Nuclear fission is a reaction in which the nucleus of large atoms are split into nuclei of two or more smaller atoms.

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which nuclei of two or more smaller atoms are combined to give an atom of larger nucleus.

Large amounts of energy are involved in both reactions.

The Sun produces energy by nuclear fusion.

However, the most commonly employed method in nuclear power plants is nuclear fission because the necessary conditions required for nuclear fusion have not being developed currently.

Therefore, nuclear fusion and fission involve changes in the nucleus of atom, but nuclear fission is  most  in employed nuclear power plants around the world whereas fusion occurs on the sun.

Julie's psychologist helped her get over her fear of spiders. Which goal of psychology has the phycologist met ?
lord [1]
<span>The four goals of psychology are: describe observed phenomena, explain them, predict what may occur as a result of them and control behaviour as a result. Julie’s psychologist has helped Julie control her behaviour - her fear response to spiders - so they have met the ‘control behaviour’ goal of psychology.</span>

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed by monochromatic electromagnetic radiation from a distant source passing through a s
tatiyna

Answer:

a. λ = 647.2 nm

b. I₀  9.36 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Given:

β = 56.0 rad , θ = 3.09 ° , γ = 0.170 mm = 0.170 x 10⁻³ m

a.

The wavelength of the radiation can be find using

β = 2 π / γ * sin θ

λ = [ 2π * γ * sin θ ] / β

λ = [ 2π * 0.107 x 10⁻³m * sin (3.09°) ] / 56.0 rad

λ = 647.14 x 10⁻⁹ m  ⇒  λ = 647.2 nm

b.

The intensity of the central maximum I₀

I = I₀ (4 / β² ) * sin ( β / 2)²

I = I₀ (4 / 56.0²) * [ sin (56.0 /2) ]²

I = I₀  9.36 x 10⁻⁵

Which change of state is shown in the model?
leva [86]

Answer: deposition

Explanation:

Try process of elimination. We know it's not boiling because that is basically water turning into gas. It's not condensation because it's not water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
