Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

$D_1=0.15mGy$

$D_2=0.22mGy$

$Q_1=6$

$Q_2=10$

a.We have to find the total dose

Total dose= $D=D_1+D_2$

Using the formula then, we get

$D=0.15+0.22$

$D=0.37mGy$

b.We have to find the total dose equivalent

Total dose equivalent=H= $D_1Q_1+D_2Q_2$

Using the formula

$H=0.15(6)+0.22(10)$

H=3.1mSv

Why do we use the hydrogen spectrum to identify if a star is red or blue<br> shifted? *

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

But if you place a clear container filled with hydrogen gas between the flashlight and the prism, gaps appear in the smooth rainbow of colors, places where the light literally goes missing. The dark absorption lines of a star at rest (left) get shifted towards red if the star is moving away from Earth (right)

Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy without a(n) _____________ (medium/electric field).

KATRIN_1 [288]

Medium.
Medium is matter, and electromagnetic waves do not need matter to travel. Just like the sun, its plasma light travels across space to reach us.

What, roughly, is the percent uncertainty in the volume of a spherical beach ball whose radius is 5.66 0.09 m?

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

4.77 %

Explanation:

We know that the volume V for a sphere of radius r is

$V(r) = \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3$

If we got an uncertainty $\Delta r$ the formula for the uncertainty of V is:

$\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{ (\frac{dV}{dr} \Delta r)^2 }$

We can calculate this uncertainty, first we obtain the derivative:

$\frac{dV}{dr} = 3 * \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^2$

$\frac{dV}{dr} = 4 \ \pi \ r^2$

And using it in the formula:

$\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{ (4 \ \pi \ r^2\Delta r)^2 }$

$\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{ 4^2 \ \pi^2 \ r^4 \Delta r^2 }$

$\Delta V(r) = 4 \ \pi \ r^2 \Delta r$

The relative uncertainty is:

$\frac{\Delta V(r)}{V(r)}$

$\frac{ 4 \ \pi \ r^2 \Delta r }{ \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3}$

$\frac{ 3 \Delta r }{ r}$

Using the values for the problem:

$\frac{ 3 * 0.09 m }{ 5.66 m} = 0.0477$

This is, a percent uncertainty of 4.77 %
