Hello!

The gamma radiation haven't mass or charge. When it is released, it usually accompanies beta or alpha radiation. Letter d).

Answer: D) it usually accompanies beta or alpha radiation..

Explanation:-

Gamma decay : In this process, the unstable nuclei transformed into stable nuclei by releasing gamma rays along with beta or alpha decay. It is observed when a nucleus is formed in an excited state and then decays to its ground state by emitting an electromagnetic radiation.

General representation of an element is given as:   _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z represents Atomic number

A represents Mass number

X represents the symbol of an element

General representation of gamma decay :

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

What is the speed of a walking person in m/s if the person travels 1000 m in 20 minutes?
Nata [24]

Answer:

0.83m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

distance  = 1000m

time taken  = 20min

Unknown:

Speed of the walking person  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

    Speed  = \frac{distance}{time taken}

  Time taken should be in seconds;

                 1 min   =  60s

                 20min  = 20 x 60  = 1200s

Speed  = \frac{1000}{1200}   = 0.83m/s

A large object las Less of an attraction on a smaller <br><br> True <br> False
leva [86]
Do you mean ‘Does a larger object have less attraction than a smaller object?’ If so, then the answer is objects with a larger mass exert more attraction while objects with a smaller mass have less attraction.

Unpolarized light passes through a vertical polarizing filter, emerging with an intensity I0. The light then passes through a ho
antiseptic1488 [7]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Malus' law. Malus' law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized ray of light that passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

I = I_0 cos^2(\theta)

I_0 = Indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the Polarizer,

I = The resulting intensity, and

\theta = Indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

There is 3 polarizer, then

For the exit of the first polarizer we have that the intensity is,

I_2 = I_0cos^2(45)

For the third polarizer then we have,

I_3 = I_2 cos^{2}(45)

Replacing with the first equation,

I_3 =  I_0cos^2(45)cos^{2}(45)

I_3 = I_0 (\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{2})

I_3 = I_0 \frac{1}{4}

Therefore the transmitted intensity now is \frac{1}{4} of the initial intensity.
