A gamma ray is the same physical thing as a radio wave or
a light wave.  All of them are traveling electric and magnetic
fields, not charged particles.  The waves and rays have no charge.

A radio signal has a frequency of 1.023 x 108 HZ. If the speed of the signal in air is 2.997 x 108m/s, what is the wavelength of
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

2.93 m  (which agrees with answer "C" on the list)

Explanation:

Recall that the speed of the wave equals the product of the wave's length times its frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is going to be the quotient of the speed of the signal divided its frequency:

Wavelength = 2.997  10^8 / 1.023  10^8 =  2.93 m

Can someone help me on question 1?
grigory [225]
In question 1, both of your answers are correct, but I don't understand the process you went through in the 'a' part.

R = v/I . That's a correct formula.
But it doesn't help you in this form, because you need to find I
So turn it into a helpful form ... Solve it for I, so it says I=something.

R= v/I

Multiply each side by I : R I = V.

Now divide each side by R: I= V/R .
THERE'S the equation you want.

I = V / R

I = 1.5 / 10 = 0.15 Amp.

That's slightly cleaner, although I don't really understand what you were actually thinking in that part.

But again ... You answered both parts correctly, and your process in b is fine.

What is energy? Where does it come from? What does it do? Explain in 5 or more sentences please! :)
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Forms of energy could be kinetic energy or potential energy. Thermal or heat energy can originate from a hot object such as the sun. Energy is used to produce work. Electrical energy for lighting purposes and heating in homes and factories.

Explanation:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work and can be in various forms such as kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal, chemical, electrical energy etc.

Energy origination depends on the type of energy form in discussion. Thermal or heat energy can originate from a hot object such as the sun or an iron box, chemical energy originates from the interaction of atoms and molecules and electrical energy can be initiated by movements of electrons.

Energy is used to produce work. Different forms of energy can do different tasks such as;

Heat energy for heating water

Electrical energy for lighting purposes

Geothermal energy for producing heat and electricity

Nuclear energy for production of nuclear power

Chemical energy for facilitating chemical reactions

Americium-241 is used in smoke detectors. It undergoes alpha decay with a half life of 432 years. The alpha particles ionize som
babymother [125]

Answer:

860.6 years.

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Initial detector activity = 370000 alpha decays per second

Final detector activity = 93000 alpha decays per second

Formula for time to change in activity is given by the following relation;

t_{93000} = \dfrac{-ln\dfrac{A}{A_0} }{\lambda} =  \dfrac{-ln\dfrac{93000}{370000} }{5.08 \times 10^{-11}} = 2.72 \times 10^{10} \, seconds

t₉₃₀₀₀ = 2.72 × 10¹⁰ seconds = 860.6 years.
