After four half-lives of decay, what is the ratio of radioactive parent isotope to stable daughter isotope?

Physics

Margarita [4]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Ratio of parent to daughter nuclei is 16 : 1

OR

1 : 0.0625

Explanation:

The half of a radioisotope is the time it will take half of the original mass to decay.

Let the original mass be y

After the first half life, the new mass will be y/2

After the second half decay, the new mass will be y/4

After the third half decay, the new mass will be y/8

After the fourth half life decay, the new mass will be y/16.

Thus the ratio of the mother nucleus to the daughter nucleus will be y : y/16

Multiply the ratio through by 16

= 16y : y

= 16 : 1

Please help me with this question someone
Gekata [30.6K]
From the answers provided, I believe the possible answer would be the last option, silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals. Here's my reasoning: the most abundant mineral group found in the Earth's crust is the silicate group. The silicate materials contain both oxygen and silicon. Silicates are the most common minerals in the rock-formation process, and it has, in fact, been estimated that they make up 75 to 90 percent of the Earth's crust. From this piece of evidence, I can guess that the answer will possibly be D, silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals.
It should also be noted that the additional elements that combine with the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron are involved with the other elements commonly found in the Earth's crust and mantle. They are aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and sodium.

When the bug is stationary and creating waves, how does the frequency of the wave some distance away from the bug compare with t
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The frequency is the same

Explanation:

When a wave is created by a source which is vibrating at a certain frequency, the frequency of the wave itself is equal to the frequency of the source.

This occurs with every kind of wave. For instance, if we consider the radio waves produced by an antenna, the frequency of the radio waves is equal to the frequency of the antenna.

In this case, the waves are created by the vibrating bug. The bug is vibrating with a certain frequency f: as a consequence, the frequency f' of the waves produced by the bug will be equal to the frequency of vibration of the bug:

f'=f.
