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

Calculate the ratio of the velocity of helium atoms to the velocity of neon atoms at the same temperature.
o-na [289]

Answer:

vHe / vNe = 2.24

Explanation:

To obtain the velocity of an ideal gas you must use the formula:

v = √3RT / √M

Where R is gas constant (8.314 kgm²/s²molK); T is temperature and M is molar mass of the gas (4x10⁻³kg/mol for helium and 20,18x10⁻³ kg/mol for neon). Thus:

vHe = √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √4x10⁻³kg/mol

vNe = √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √20.18x10⁻³kg/mol

The ratio is:

vHe / vNe = √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √4x10⁻³kg/mol / √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √20.18x10⁻³kg/mol

vHe / vNe = √20.18x10⁻³kg/mol / √4x10⁻³kg/mol

<em>vHe / vNe = 2.24</em>
