Radon-220 is a radioactive gas. It escapes from underground rocks and causes a large part of the natural background radiation in

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: 134 neutrons are there in the nucleus of Radon-220

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Thus, number of protons = atomic number = 86

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

220 = 86 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 134

A standing wave of the third overtone is induced in a stopped pipe, 2.5 m long. The speed of sound is The frequency of the sound

NemiM [27]

Answer:

f3 = 102 Hz

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the sound produced by the pipe you use the following formula:

$f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}$

n: number of the harmonic = 3

vs: speed of sound = 340 m/s

L: length of the pipe = 2.5 m

You replace the values of n, L and vs in order to calculate the frequency:

$f_{3}=\frac{(3)(340m/s)}{4(2.5m)}=102\ Hz$

hence, the frequency of the third overtone is 102 Hz

Unpolarized light passes through a combination of two ideal polarizers. The transmission axes of the first polarizer and the sec

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

62.5 %

Explanation:

Let the initial intensity of unpolarized light is Io.

After first polariser the intensity of light becomes I'.

So, $I' = \frac{I_{0}}{2}$

Now it passes through another polariser. The angle between the first polariser and the second polariser is given by Ф. The intensity is I''.

According to the law of Malus

$I'' = I' Cos^{2}\phi$

Here, Ф = 30 degree

$I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{2} Cos^{2}30=0.375I_{0}$

The percentage change in the intensity is given by

$\frac{I_{0}-I''}{I_{0}}\times 100=\frac{I_{0}-0.375I_{0}}{I_{0}}\times100$

= 62.5 %
