Why do the lighter isotopes disappear first from the atmosphere? Where do those isotopes go?

Lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the lighter isotopes.

<h3>What are lighter isotopes?</h3>

Lighter molecules are mobile and soon leave the higher atmosphere.
A particular element's stable isotopes have slightly different atomic masses and quantum mechanical energies.
The lighter isotope of an element's chemical bonds are more easily broken than the heavier isotope's.
As a result, the light isotope typically benefits from chemical reactions.

Thus, we can conclude that, lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

A pendulum oscillates 12 times in 4 seconds. what is the length of the pendulum?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

L = 2.8 cm

Explanation:

Period T = 4 / 12 = 1/3 s

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = (T/2π)²g

L = ((1/3)/2π)²9.8 = 0.02758... ≈ 2.8 cm

Two identical loudspeakers are some distance apart. A person stands 5.80 m from one speaker and 3.90 m from the other. What is t

NikAS [45]

Answer:

f = 632 Hz

Explanation:

As we know that for destructive interference the path difference from two loud speakers must be equal to the odd multiple of half of the wavelength

here we know that

$\Delta x = (2n + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

given that path difference from two loud speakers is given as

$\Delta x = 5.80 m - 3.90 m$

$\Delta x = 1.90 m$

now we know that it will have fourth lowest frequency at which destructive interference will occurs

so here we have

$\Delta x = 1.90 = \frac{7\lambda}{2}$

$\lambda = \frac{2 \times 1.90}{7}$

$\lambda = 0.54 m$

now for frequency we know that

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

$f = \frac{343}{0.54} = 632 Hz$
