Answer:

d) Single sheet of paper

Explanation:

Since alpha particles are heaviest particles that comes out from nucleus during the radioactive decay so out of all these are having least energy.

So here in this we can say that penetration power of alpha particles is least and it can be stopped by least thickness due to less penetration power and least energy

So here we can say that alpha particles can be stopped just by using the least thickness.

So out of all given options we can have

d) Single sheet of paper

<h3><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
  • <em>It's</em><em> </em><em>incorrect</em><em> </em><em>sentence</em><em>.</em><em> </em>
  • As we know that, electroplating of substances releases harmful and toxic substances into the environment causing serious health issues in human, so it's waste substances released into environment can have very harmful effects.

<u>So correct sentence is:</u>

  • <em>Electroplating wastes are </em><em>harmful</em><em> </em><em>to human health and </em><em>environment</em><em>.</em>

<h3>c)</h3><h3><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
  • In an LED bulb, the shorter lead is connected to the positive terminal of the battery.
<h3><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
  • <em>It's incorrect sentence. </em>
  • As we know that, in an LED bulb their are two terminals that is the positive and the negative. So here the lead connected to the positive terminal is always slightly longer than the lead connected to negative terminal of the bulb.

<u>So correct sentence is:</u>

  • <em>In an LED bulb, the </em><em>longer</em><em> lead </em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>connected to the positive terminal of the battery.</em>

<h3>d)</h3><h3><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
  • Pure water conducts electricity.
<h3><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
  • <em>It's incorrect sentence. </em>
  • As we know that, pure water is a form of H2O where Hydrogen (H) is positive ion and Oxygen (O) is a negative ion which can conduct electricity when they are in individuals but as in pure water they are in combined form of compound H2O in which they become neutral and can't conduct any electricity.

<u>So correct sentence is:</u>

  • <em>P</em><em>ure water </em><em>c</em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em>'</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>conduct</em><em> </em><em>electricity.</em>

During a spring vacation, it rained on 13 days. When it rained in the morning, the afternoon was sunny. Every rainy afternoon wa
hammer [34]

Answer:

The holiday lasted for 18 days.

Explanation:

Let's assume the number of days are as following:

let the rain in the morning and lovely afternoon = X days

Clear morning and rain in the afternoon = Y days

No rain in the morning and in the afternoon = Z days

Now according to the question

Number of days with rain = X + Y = 13 days

Number of days with clear mornings = Y + Z = 11 days

Number of days with clear afternoons = X + Z = 12 days

Solving above 3 equations, we get

X = 7,  Y = 6 and  Z = 5

Now  total number of days on holiday = X+Y+Z = 7+6+5 =18

Hence, total number of days on holiday = 18 days.
