The correct answer is option B. X-rays are the waves found in the electromagnetic spectrum at a wavelength of 1x10^-11 - 1x10^-8 m and frequencies of 3x10^16 to 3x10^19 Hz. These waves penetrate easily through certain materials which made them usefule in the field of medicine.
Answer:
Choice A: Approximately
joules.
Explanation:
Apply the famous mass-energy equivalence equation to find the energy that correspond to the
kilograms of mass.
,
where
stands for energy,
stands for mass, and
is the speed of light in vacuum.
The speed of light in vacuum is a constant. However, finding the right units for this value can simplify the calculations a lot. What should be the unit of
?
The mass given is in the appropriate SI unit:
Mass is in kilograms.
Thus, proceed with the speed of light in SI units. The SI unit for speed is meters per second. For the speed of light,
.
Apply the mass-energy equivalence:
.
The unit of energy is not in joules. Don't be alerted. Consider the definition of a joule of energy. One joule is the work done on an object when a force of one newton acts on the object in the direction of the force through the distance of one meter. (English Wikipedia.)
.
However, a force of one newton is defined as the force required to accelerated an object with a mass of one kilogram (not gram) at a rate of one meter per second squared. (English Wikipedia.)
.
In other words, the mass defect here is also
.
Answer:
Reliable knowledge is knowledge that has a high probablility of being true because its veracity has been justified by a reliable method. Reliable knowledge is sometimes called justified true belief, to distinguish reliable knowledge from belief that is false and unjustified or even true but unjustified.
