Answer:

d). X-rays

Explanation:

X -rays are also called photons. They are a packet of electro magnetic radiation. X rays originate from the shell of the electron.  X rays are highly penetrating, and have a shorter wavelength than alpha particles and the beta particles. They are similar to the gamma rays which are also has a high penetrating power and easily pass through the human body.

 Thus X rays can penetrate a skin tissue upto 2 cm thickness.

Answer:

<h2>D. X-Rays</h2>

Explanation:

Alpha and beta particles are actually particulate radiation. X and Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation.

Among the options, beta particles and X-Rays are the ones that can penetrate skin, but only X-Rays can go 2 cm deeper.

Actually, beta particles or beta radiation in the tissue can penetrate just a few milimeters, but X-Rays can penetrate many centimeters. That's why X-Rays are used to examine bones, it's too deep to use beta radiation.

Therefore, the right answer is D.

What is the connection between angle of incidence and angle of reflection
Radda [10]

Answer:

The normal line divides the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray into two equal angles. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known as the angle of incidence. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is known as the angle of reflection.

Your shopping cart has a mass of 65 kilograms, In order to accelerate the shopping cart down an aisle at 0.3 m/sec2, what force
garri49 [273]
Remember Newton's second law: F=ma

to get the force in newtons, mass should be in kg and acceleration in m/s^2

conveniently, we don't need to convert units

we just need to multiply the two to get the force

65* 0.3 = 19.5 kg m/s^2 or N

if significant digit is an issue, the least number if sig figs is 1 so the answer would be 20 N

How is light reflected from a prism​
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

White light entering a prism is bent, or refracted, and the light separates into its constituent wavelengths. Each wavelength of light has a different colour and bends at a different angle. The colours of white light always emerge through a prism in the same order—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
