Answer : The correct option is, gamma rays only

Explanation :

Penetration power : It is defined as the movement of particles or rays through an object. As more the energy of a particle, more will be the penetrating power.

The increasing order of the penetration power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays will be,

Alpha rays < Beta rays <  Gamma rays

The penetrating power of the given rays varies greatly.

The alpha particles can be restricted by a few pieces of paper.

The beta particles can be pass through the paper but can not pass by the aluminum foil.

The blocking of gamma rays are the most difficult. It can be blocked by concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding.

Hence, the radiation can pass through the sheet of metal and hit the target is, gamma rays only

What would happen to the annual rates of limestone (CaCO3) precipitation in the ocean if the ocean water were to become much war
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

CaCO3 exoskeleton dissolves in acidic water

Explanation:

The increasing CO2 level makes the ocean water acidic and hence reduces the pH. In such acidic environment, marine organism that produce calcium carbonate shells or skeletons are negatively affected. Coral reefs and coralline algae abilities to produce skeleton also reduces.  

Calcium carbonate dissolves in acid. Thus, the more acidic the ocean water is the faster and easier it is to dissolve the exoskeleton and shell of marine organisms made up of calcium carbonate
