Answer:

Gamma γ radiations has the highest penetrating power, of all the nuclear emissions.

Explanation:

The three major types of nuclear emissions are alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma radiations. Of all three, gamma (Υ) radiations have the highest penetrating power (only shielded by lead and concrete), owing to its lack of mass and charge.

It also has a low ionization power and so does not interact well with matter. IT has vast application in cancer treatment and sterilization mechanism.

A small candle is 38 cm from a concave mirror having a radius of curvature of 24 cm. (a) what is the focal length of the mirror?

Finger [1]

For a concave mirror, the radius of curvature is twice the focal length of the mirror:
$r=2f$
where f, for a concave mirror, is taken to be positive.

Re-arranging the formula we get:
$f= \frac{r}{2}$
and since the radius of curvature of the mirror in the problem is 24 cm, the focal length is
$f= \frac{24 cm}{2} = 12 cm$
