The quantity of substance remains after 850 years is 8.98g if the half life of radioactive radium is 1,599 years.

<h3>What is half life period? </h3>

The time taken by substance to reduce to its half of its initial concentration is called half life period.

We will use the half- life equation N(t)

N e^{(-0.693t) /t½}

Where,

N is the initial sample

t½ is the half life time period of the substance

t2 is the time in years.

N(t) is the reminder quantity after t years .

Given

N = 13g

t = 350 years

t½ = 1599 years

By substituting all the value, we get

N(t) = 13e^(0.693 × 50) / (1599)

= 13e^(- 0.368386)

= 13 × 0.691

= 8.98

Thus, we calculated that the quantity of substance remains after 850 years is 8.98g if the half life of radioactive radium is 1,599 years.

According to de Broglie, which of these objects does not have a wavelength?
polet [3.4K]

Answer: Option D is correct.

Explanation: Equation given by de Broglie is:

\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}

where, \lambda = wavelength of the particle

h = Planck's constant

m = mass of the particle

v = velocity of the particle

In option A, football will have some mass and is moving with a velocity of 25 m/s, hence it will have some wavelength.

In Option B, unladen swallow also have some mass and is moving with a velocity of 38 km/hr, hence it will also have some wavelength.

In Option C, a person has some mass and is running with a velocity of 7 m/hr, hence it will also have some wavelength.

As, the momentum of these particles are large, therefore the wavelength will be of small magnitude and hence, is not observable.

From the above, it is clearly visible that all the options are having some wavelength, so option D is correct.
