No i took the test and the answer is actually homogenous mixture
Answer:
- 0.09 % of the original radioactive nucllde its left after 10 half-lives
- It will take 241,100 years for 10 half-lives of plutonium-239 to pass.
Explanation:
The equation for radioactive decay its:
,
where N(t) its quantity of material at time t, 
its the initial quantity of material and 
its the mean lifetime of the radioactive element.
The half-life 
its the time at which the quantity of material its the half of the initial value, so, we can find:
so:
So, after 10 half-lives, we got:
So, we got that a 0.09 % of the original radioactive nucllde its left.
Putonioum-239 has a half-life of 24,110 years. So, 10 half-life will take to pass
It will take 241,100 years for 10 half-lives of plutonium-239 to pass.
The correct answer is
A. Chain reaction
This is how the chain reaction works in a process of nuclear fission:
1) Slow-moving neutrons reach heavy, unstable, radioactive nuclei (such as Uranium-235)
2) The neutrons interact with the nuclei of Uranium, which break apart producing smaller nuclei and additional neutrons
3) The neutrons produced in the reaction are slowed down by a moderator (e.g. water) and they interact with new nuclei of Uranium, causing new fission reactions)
4) The new neutrons interact with new nuclei of Uranium, and so on...
Answer:
Explanation:
The problem is based on resolving power of instruments . Resolving power of instruments is related to wavelength of light as follows
resolving power of telescope ∝ 1 / λ
Higher the resolving power closer the object that can be looked separately.
Wave length of blue light is shorter than that of red light so resolving power in case of blue light will be higher. So we have better chance of distinguishing separate bulbs when color light is blue.
