Answer:

option C is correct (250 g)

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of carbon-14 = 5700 years

Total amount of sample = 1000 g

Sample left after 11,400 years = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives passes during 11,400 years.

Number of half lives = time elapsed/ half life

Number of half lives = 11,400 years/5700 years

Number of half lives = 2

Now we will calculate the amount left.

At time zero = 1000 g

At first half life = 1000 g/2 = 500 g

At second half life = 500 g/2 = 250 g

Thus, option C is correct.

slavikrds [6]
Intensity has no affect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs.  The determining property is frequency and since frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, wavelength matters as well.  If a frequency of light can't cause the photoelectric effect to happen, no matter what the intensity is, the light can't make it happen.

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.
