Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Alpha particles are helium atoms whereas beta particles are just electrons. Electrons are much lighter than alpha particles (which include both protons and neutrons).

Therefore, electrons can move quickly from one place to other. Also, an electron or beta particle is 8,000 times smaller than alpha particle.

Hence, we can conclude that beta particles pass through materials more easily than alpha particles because beta particles are smaller.

With the intensity at about half of maximum, how does the current change when you increase the frequency of the light?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

Energy  of  given as follows

E = h f

Where f is the frequency of incident light

when high frequency light falls then it will increase the number of produce photon and that increase in number of photon will lead to increase in the number of electron.When number of electron will increase it mean that current will also increase.

So we can say that when frequency increase then current will increase.

9. Una jeringa contiene cloro gaseoso, que ocupa un volumen de 95 mL a una presión de 0,96 atm. ¿Qué presión debemos ejercer en
masha68 [24]

Answer:

2.61 atm

Ley de Boyle

Explanation:

P_1 = Presión inicial = 0.96 atm

P_2 = Presión final

V_1 = Volumen inicial = 95 mL

V_2 = Volumen final = 35 mL

En este problema usaremos la ley de Boyle.

\dfrac{P_1}{P_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{0.96\times 95}{35}\\\Rightarrow P_1=2.61\ \text{atm}

La presión ejercida sobre el émbolo para reducir su volumen es de 2.61 atm.

Because of the Coriolis effect, surface ocean currents are deflected to the ________ of their path of motion in the Northern Hem
Mila [183]

Answer:

Right

Explanation:

Because of the Coriolis effect, surface ocean currents are deflected to the Right of their path of motion in the Northern Hemisphere.

Since the Earth is revolving on its axis, flowing air in the Northern Hemisphere are deflected to the right and in the Southern Hemisphere to the left. The consequence of Coriolis is called this deflection.

Answer:

carrying capacity.

Explanation:

The number of organisms that can be sustained by an environment without environmental degradation is its carrying capacity.

The carrying capacity of a living species in an ecosystem is the species ' maximum population size that the environment could carry indefinitely, given the ecosystem's food, habitat, water, as well as other necessities are sufficient.
