Answer:

C.when the nucleus decays

Explanation:

In chemical reactions, the outermost electrons of atoms are re-arranged somehow without the involvement of the nuclei of the participating atoms of the elements.

Nuclear reactions causes changes within the atomic nucleus. For every atomic nucleus, a specific neutron/proton ratio ensures stability. When the stability ratio differs an atom becomes unstable and splits into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter. This is what radioactivity entails.

What is the magnification of an astronomical telescope whose objective lens has a focal length of 74 cm and whose eyepiece has a

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.

Explanation:

The expression for the magnification of an astronomical telescope is as follows;

$M=-\frac{f_o}{f_e}$

Here, M is the magnification of an astronomical telescope, $f_e$ is the focal length of the eyepiece lens and $f_o$ is the focal length of the objective lens.

It is given in the problem that an astronomical telescope having a focal length of objective lens 74 cm and whose eyepiece has a focal length of 2.4 cm.

Put $f_o=74 cm$ and $f_e=2.4 cm$ in the above expression.
