What do gamma rays consist of?

Physics

4 0

Answer:

It consists of the shortest wavelength electromagnetic waves and so impacts the highest photon energy. So I'm guessing B- pure energy is the answer.

Explanation:

A gamma ray, or gamma radiation is a penetrating electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. This is what I got off google

There's no such thing as "pure energy".

Gamma rays are <em>electromagnetic waves</em> with very high frequency and very short wavelength.  They carry energy in the form of high-energy photons.

What did Thomson’s model of the atom include that Dalton’s model did not have?
astraxan [27]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Dalton's model of atom states that every matter is made up of atoms and these atoms are indivisible in nature.

On the other hand, Thomson's model of atom states that there are small particles present in an atom that has positive or negative charges.

Thomson's model of atom is also known as plum pudding model where negatively charged particles are represented by plum and positively charged particles are represented by pudding.

Thus, we can conclude that Thomson’s model of the atom include smaller particles that Dalton’s model did not have.

How many calories are needed to raise the temperature of 2g of water 3 C?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The number of calories needed is 6c.

Explanation:

The amount of energy Q needed to raise the temperature \Delta T of water of mass m is

Q = mC\Delta T

where C = 1cal/g\cdot C is the specific heat capacity of water.

Putting in numbers into equation (1), we get:

Q = (2g)(1)(3^oC )\\

\boxed{Q = 6\:cal }

which is the number of calories needed.

Why would you expect the speed of light to be slightly less in the atmosphere then in a vacuum?
azamat

The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material

<u>Explanation:</u>

When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.

But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.
