Answer:
Speed of light
Explanation:
The famous Einstein's equation is:
where
E is the energy
m is the mass
is the speed of light
In this equation, Einstein summarized the following fact: mass can be converted into energy, and the amount of energy released in such a process is given by the equation.
An example of application of this equation is the nuclear fusion process. In a nuclear fusion, two lighter nuclei combine into a heavier nucleus. However, the mass of the heavier nucleus is slightly less than the sum of the masses of the two original nuclei: some of the mass of the original nuclei has been converted into energy, accorging to the previous equation.
Actually it's 
and it says that the energy of an object (E) is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied with the squared speed of light (
). This theory says that mass can be turned into energy and energy can be turned into mass. This is one of Einstein's theory of relativity.
Answer:
option (c) is correct
Explanation:
Half life of a substance is the time in which the element becomes half of is initial value.
half life, T = 8 days
Amount remaining, N = 10 % of original value
Let the original value is No.
N = 10% of No
N = 0.1 No
Let the time taken is t and the decay constant is λ.
The relation between the decay constant and the half life is given by
Us the equation of radioactivity
Taking natural log on both the sides, we get
0.08664 t = 2.303
t = 26.6 days
