Answer:

Applications in which ionizing radiation are not used are  

 MRI

ultrasound

 laser surgery

Explanation:

Ionizing radiation

Ionizing radiations are radiation which have sufficien energy to ionize an atom. Example of ionizing radiation are x rays, gamma rays and all particle radiation from radioactive decay

CT Scan

CT scan is an abbreviated form of computerized tomography. CT scan provide more information about a body than x-rays. In this test a sequence of x-ray images are taken at various angle of a body and these images after computer processing  provide information about the body. Since x-ray is ionizing radiation so in CT scan ionizing radiations are used.

Ultrasound

In ultra sound scan high frequency sound waves(which are not ionizing radiation) are used to find the information about a body.

MRI

MRI is an abbreviated form of Magnetic resonance imaging. In MRI scanning high intensity magnetic field and radio waves(which are not ionizing radiation) are used to find the information of a body.

Laser surgery

It is a type of surgery in which laser beam(which are not ionizing radiation) is used to cut the skin or to remove a lesion from skin surface.

Radiopharmaceuticals PET scan

PET scan is an abbreviated form of positron emission tomography scan. This test is used to find the images of a body to detect certain diseases like cancer and heart diseases in your body.  In this test radioactive tracers are used. In this test ionizing radiation are used.

irius, the brightest star in the sky, is 2.6 parsecs (8.6 light-years) from Earth, giving it a parallax of 0.379 arcseconds. Ano
Norma-Jean [14]

The actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs.

Given:

Parallax of Regulus, p = 0.042 arc seconds

Calculation:

When an observer changes their position, an apparent change in the object's position takes place. This change can be calculated using the angle ( or semi-angle) made by the observer and object i.e. the angle made between the two lines of observation from the object to the observer.

Thus from the relation of parallax of a celestial body we get:

S = 1/ tan p ≈ 1 / p

where S is the actual distance between the object and the observer

            p is the parallax angle observed

Here for Regulus, we get:

S = 1 / p

  = 1 / (0.042)                                     [ 1 parsecs = 1 arcseconds ]

  = 23.81 parsecs

We know that,

1 parsecs = 3.26 light-years = 206,000 AU

Converting the actual distance into light years we get:

23.81 parsecs = 23.81 × (3.26 light yrs) = 77.658 light-years

Therefore, the actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs which is 77.658 in light years.

A pendulum takes 10 seconds to swing through 2 complete cycles what is it’s period and frequency
Orlov [11]

its period should be the amount it takes to cycle from cycle to cycle so it would be 10 and your frequency would have to be calculated by taking 10 and dividing by 2 since that is how many cycles you have done so your frequency is 5
