10% =  1/2 ^n
*where n is number of half lives to reach 10%

n = ln10/ln2

and multiply by 25 gives 83.05 years to 2dp

Hope this helps

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C) atoms are more stable when they combine with other atoms

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Atoms are the smallest particles of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
  • <em><u>Atoms seldom exist as independent particles in nature. Nearly all substances are made up of combinations of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds, which are forces of attractions between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that join the atoms together.</u></em>

Light from a laser of wavelength λ1 shines normally on a pair of narrow slits separated by distance D. This results in a differe
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The angular position of first intensity maxima is given by the expression

= λ / d where λ is wave length of light and d is slit separation

putting the values given in the problem. ,

.02 = λ₁ / D

Now wavelength has been increased to 2λ₁

angular separation of first maxima

=  2λ₁ /D

= 2 x .02

= .04 radians.
