What is carbon dating

Physics
1 answer:
Tom [10]4 years ago

the determination of the age or date of organic matter from the relative proportions of the carbon isotopes carbon-12 and carbon-14 that it contains. The ratio between them changes as radioactive carbon-14 decays and is not replaced by exchange with the atmosphere.

Two glass marbles (1 and 2), each supported by a nylon thread, are rubbed against a piece of silk and then are placed near a thi
iragen [17]

Answer:

d.) Marbles 1 and 2 repel each other, but no interaction occurs with marble

Explanation:

Rubbing the glass against the silk charges the glass positively.

Assuming polarization is ignored,

●Glass won't conduct electrical charge. Therefore, acting as a insulator.

●neutral objects won't distribute it's charge when affected by charge objects in proximity. Therefore, over the marble surface, the charge remain spherically symmetrical (undisturbed)

Marble 1 is positive

Marble 2 is positive

Since marble 1 and 2 are positive, repulsion will occur.

marble 3 is neutral (still assuming polarization is ignored), therefore, no interaction with marble 1 and 2

D is the answer.

A laser beam of wavelength λ=632.8 nm shines at normal incidence on the reflective side of a compact disc. The tracks of tiny pi
Juliette [100K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts given by the principles of superposition, specifically those described by Bragg's law in constructive interference.

Mathematically this relationship is given as

dsin\theta = n\lambda

Where,

d = Distance between slits

\lambda = Wavelength

n = Any integer which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum

\theta = sin^{-1} (\frac{n\lambda}{d})

Calculating the value for n, we have

n = 1

\theta_1 = sin^{-1} (\frac{\lambda}{d})\\\theta_1 = sin^{-1} (\frac{632.8*10^{-9}}{1.6*10^{-6}})\\\theta_1 = 23.3\°

n=2

\theta_2 = sin^{-1} (\frac{2\lambda}{d})\\\theta_2 = sin^{-1} (2\frac{632.8*10^{-9}}{1.6*10^{-6}})\\\theta_2 = 52.28\°

n =3

\theta_2 = sin^{-1} (\frac{2\lambda}{d})\\\theta_2 = sin^{-1} (3\frac{632.8*10^{-9}}{1.6*10^{-6}})\\\theta_2 = \text{not possible}

Therefore the intensity of light be maximum for angles 23.3° and 52.28°

How would radiation occur in space?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Space radiation is made up of three kinds of radiation: particles trapped in the Earth's magnetic field; particles shot into space during solar flares (solar particle events); and galactic cosmic rays, which are high-energy protons and heavy ions from outside our solar system.

6.) What is
Feliz [49]

Answer:

100 V

Explanation:

Hi there!

Ohm's law states that V=IR where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance.

Plug the given information into Ohm's law (R=50, I=A)

V=IR\\V=(2)(50)\\V=100

Therefore, the voltage across this current is 100 V.

I hope this helps!

The magnetic field direction and direction of induced current in a wire are related by the right hand grip rule. Since the magnetic field was upwards, the thumb points upwards and the fingers curl around it. When viewed from above, it is seen as a current flowing in the counter clockwise direction.
