What do gamma rays consist of?

Physics

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.

Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.9 m tall window in 0.134 sec. From how high above th
timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of window h=2.9\ m

time Frame for which rock can be seen is \Delta t=0.134\ s

Suppose h is height above which rock is dropped

Time taken to cover h+2.9 is t_1

so using equation of motion

y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where  y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

time taken to travel h  is

h=0+0.5\times g\times (t_2)^2---2

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

2.9=0.5g(t_1^2-t_2^2)

5.8=g(t_1+t_2)(t_1-t_2))

and from equation t_1-t_2=0.134\ s

so t_1+t_2=\frac{5.8}{9.8\times 0.134}

t_1+t_2=4.416\ s

and t_1=t_2+\Delta t

so t_2+\Delta t+t_2=4.416

2t_2+0.134=4.416

t_2=0.5\times 4.282

t_2=2.141\ s

substitute the value of t_2 in equation 2

h=0.5\times 9.8\times (2.141)^2

h=22.46\ m

Suppose astronomers discover a radio message from a civilization whose planet orbits a star 35 light-years away. Their message e
Grace [21]

Answer:

The duration  is  T  =72 \  years /tex]Explanation:From the question we are told that     The  distance is  [tex]D  =  35 \ light-years = 35 *  9.46 *10^{15} = 3.311 *10^{17} \  m

  Generally the time it would take for the message to get the the other civilization is mathematically represented as

         t =  \frac{D}{c}

Here c  is the speed of light with the value  c =  3.08 *10^{8} \  m/s

=>     t =  \frac{3.311 *10^{17} }{3.08 *10^{8}}

=>     t =  1.075 *10^9 \ s

converting to years

           t =  1.075 *10^9 *  3.17 *10^{-8}

              t =  1.075 *10^9 *  3.17 *10^{-8}

            t =  34 \ years

Now the total time taken is mathematically represented as

      T  =  2*  t  +  2 + 2

=>   T  =  2* 34  +  2 + 2

=>   [tex]T  =72 \  years /tex]

____ is the detection of halo objects like brown dwarfs when their gravitational fields concentrate the light of distant sources
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Microlensing.

Explanation:

This techniques is called Microlensing.

Microlensing is a method of gravitational lensing where light from a backdrop point of origin is curved to develop distorted, numerous and/or lightened images by the gravity field of a foreground lens.

This method is very effective in discovering planets that are far-far from earth.It is actually an astronomical effect that was predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
