6 0

Answer:

Protons

Explanation:

All the atoms in the carbon sample will contain the same atomic number, represented by Z.

Also, the nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutron and for the atomic number to be same, the number of protons in the atom must be same.

Therefore, the nucleus can have variation in the number of neutron but not proton for the same carbon sample giving rise to the isotopes of carbon.

Isotopes:

The elements that contains the same atomic number but their mass number is different.

Answer:

Option d

The minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is 4.8x10^{-8}rad.  

Explanation:

The resulting image in a telescope that will be gotten from an object is a diffraction pattern instead of a perfect point (point spread function (PSF)).

That diffraction pattern is gotten because the light encounters different obstacles on its path inside the telescope (interacts with the walls and edges of the instrument).

 

The diffraction pattern is composed by a central disk, called Airy disk, and diffraction rings.    

 

The angular resolution is defined as the minimal separation at which two sources can be resolved one for another, or in other words, when the distance between the two diffraction pattern maxima is greater than the radius of the Airy disk.

The angular resolution can be determined in analytical way by means of the Rayleigh criterion.          

\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}  (1)

Where \lambda is the wavelength and D is the diameter of the telescope.

Notice that it is necessary to express the wavelength in the same units than the diameter.

\lambda = 95nm \cdot \frac{1x10^{-9}m}{1nm} ⇒ 9.5x10^{-8}m

Finally, equation 1 can be used.

\theta = 1.22(\frac{9.5x10^{-8}m}{2.4m})

\theta = 4.8x10^{-8}rad              

Hence, the minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is 4.8x10^{-8}rad.
