X-rays have shorter wavelength than visible light. But that's hardly the reason that they're used for medical imaging. xrays have much higher frequencies then visible light which means they have much greater penetrating ability. with xrays you can see inside the body. you can't do that with a visible flashlight no matter how bright and powerful it is.

Light has been measured as traveling at 3×108 m/s in a vacuum. Which of the following also travels at the speed of light, and wh
Art [367]

Radio waves in a vacuum travel at the speed of light because they are a type of electromagnetic radiation like a light has been measured as traveling at 3×10^8 m/s in a vacuum.

Charged particles that are accelerating, like time-varying electric currents, are what produce radio waves. Radio and television signals are transmitted using radio waves, and microwaves used in radar and microwave ovens are also radio waves. Radio waves are emitted by a lot of celestial bodies, including pulsars. High RF exposure levels have the potential to heat biological tissue and raise body temperature. The body's inability to handle or remove the extra heat that could be generated by high RF exposure in humans could result in tissue damage.

You want to find out how many atoms of the isotope 65Cu are in a small sample of material. You bombard the sample with neutrons
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

a) number of copper atoms 65 (⁶⁵Cu)  is 7.692 10⁶ atoms

b) m_total Cu = 1.585 10⁹ u = 2.632 10⁻¹⁸ kg

Explanation:

a) For this exercise let's start by using the radioactive decay ratio

           N = N₀  e^{- \lambda t}o e - lambda t

The half-life time is defined as the time it takes for half of the radioactive (activated) atoms to decay, therefore after two half-lives there are

            N = ½ (½ N₀) = ¼ N₀

            N₀ = 4 N

in each decay a photon is emitted so we can use a direct rule of proportions. If an atom emits a photon it has Eo = 1,04 Mev, how many photons it has energy E = 10,000 MeV

          # _atoms = 1 atom (photon) (E / Eo)

          # _atoms = 1 10000 / 1.04

          # _atoms = 9615,4 atoms

          N₀ = 4 #_atoms

          N₀ = 4 9615,4

          N₀=  38461.6  atoms

in the exercise indicates that half of the atoms decay in this way and the other half decays directly to the base state of Zinc, so the total number of activated atoms

          N_activated = 2 # _atoms

          N_activated = 2 38461.6

          N_activated = 76923.2

also indicates that 1% = 0.01 of the nuclei is activated by neutron bombardment

          N_activated = 0.01 N_total

          N_total = N_activated / 0.01

          N_total = 76923.2 / 100

          N_total = 7.692 10⁶ atoms

so the number of copper atoms 65 (⁶⁵Cu)  is 7.692 10⁶

b) the natural abundance of copper is

  ⁶³Cu     69.17%

  ⁶⁵Cu    30.83%

Let's use a direct proportion rule. If there are 7.692 10⁶  ⁶⁵Cu that represents 30.83, how much ⁶³Cu is there that represents 69.17%

                # _63Cu = 69.17%  (7.692 10⁶    / 30.83%)

                # _63Cu = 17.258 10⁶  atom  ⁶³Cu

the total amount of comatose is

              #_total Cu = #_ 65Cu + # _63Cu

              #_total Cu = (7.692 + 17.258) 10⁶

              #_total Cu = 24.95 10⁶

the atomic mass of copper is m_Cu = 63.546 u

          m_total = #_totalCu m_Cu

          m_total = 24.95 10⁶ 63,546 u

          m_total = 1.585 10⁹ u

let's reduce to kg

           m_total Cu = 1.585 10⁹ u (1,66054 10⁻²⁷ kg / 1 u)

           m_total Cu = 2.632 10⁻¹⁸ kg
