Physics
1 answer:
velikii [3]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<em><u>Gamma γ radiations has the highest penetrating power,</u></em> of all the nuclear emissions.

Explanation:

The three major types of nuclear emissions are <em>alpha (α), beta (β)</em> and <em>gamma </em>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
