Heavy ions, such as alpha particles, lose kinetic energy as they travel through matter. Consider equation 31.1 or 31.2. Where do

heavy ion lose more kinetic energy?
a. The rate at which they lose energy does not depend on the speed of the ion.
b. When they are traveling at high speeds, just at they enter a medium
c. When they are traveling at low speeds, when they are almost stopped

Answer:

c. When they are traveling at low speeds, when they are almost stopped

Explanation:

The rate at which they ions loose energy depends upon its charge and mass and not on its speed. For example, We know that alpha particles have high mass and high charge so they loose more energy than gamma radiation which has no mass and no charge. The slower heavy particle which has high linear energy transfer.

Hence, when they travel at low speed they are almost stopped.

There the correct answer is option C

What is the frequency of radiation emitted by a photon of light if the energy released during its transition to ground state is
miskamm [114]
If i was feeling harsh today, I'd say the answer to your question is impossible to obtain due to the fact that photons do not emit radiation, photons ARE the radiation emitted. Though for the sake of it, here is the method...

<u>The simple method:
</u>

E=hf

therefore f=e/h

f=(3.611x10^-15) / 6.63x10^-34)

Answer: 5.45x10^18

You are on a boat which is crossing the prime meridian. the altitude of polaris is 50º.explain how you know the boat's location
Lerok [7]
The definition for the prime meridian is: The prime meridian with 0 degrees longitude runs through Greenwich. Polaris is the north star <span>at 50 degrees above the horizon, which means 50 degrees latitude. 
</span>If you observe Polaris  at 50 degrees of altitude, you are at latitude 50 North. You that's why you know that your boat's location is <span>50º north latitude and 0º longitude.</span>

A force of 200 N stretches a spring 30 cm. What is the spring constant of the spring? How far would this spring stretch with a f
bija089 [108]

Hooke's Law

F = k. Δx

Δx = 30 cm = 0.3 m

200 = k . 0.3

\tt k =\dfrac{200}{0.3}= 666.6

the spring stretch for 100 N:

\tt \Delta x=\dfrac{100}{666.6}=0.15=15\:cm
