What type of nuclear radiation is emitted when carbon-14 decays

Physics
1 answer:
dalvyx [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Beta radiation

Explanation:

Beta radiation is a radioactive phenomenon of nuclear decay in which an unstable atom or isotop, by transforming a neutron into a proton, or by transforming a proton into a neutron, becomes stable. For example, the decay of carbon 14 produces beta radiation.

For a converging lens, a ray arriving parallel to the optic axis
mixer [17]

Answer:

b. passes through the principal focal point.

Explanation:

Light wave can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium of propagation for it to travel through a vacuum of space where no particles exist.

A lens can be defined as a transparent optical instrument that refracts rays of light to produce a real image.

Basically, there are two (2) main types of lens and these includes;

I. Diverging (concave) lens.

II. Converging (convex) lens.

A converging lens refers to a type of lens that typically causes parallel rays of light with respect to its principal axis to come to a focus (converge) and form a real image. This type of lens is usually thin at the lower and upper edges and thick across the middle.

For a converging lens, a ray arriving parallel to the optic axis passes through the principal focal point.

Explain why engineers leave a gap in a concrete bridge (answer must relate to density)
seraphim [82]
<span>Different materials expand and contract at different rates based on temperature. Just like if you leave a plastic bottle full of water in a freezer it will burst, but if you leave it partially full no problem.....Ok?Expansion joints do the same for bridges. There is a gap to allow for temperature related expansions and contractions. Sometimes you drive over bridges and roadways where this movement is constricted and you might notice a bumpy ride. Engineers can predict the variation of structural length based on span lengths and leave the necessary gaps.....btw, NICE QUESTION:)</span>
