Most scientists believe that it is caused by an abnormal protein in brain tissue, called a prion, that can cause fatal disease when eaten.

Additionally, these types of proteins, as mentioned above, are caused by mutations in its actual production. Because all proteins have a specific shape, if one protein's shape is damaged in some way, then they will not be able to fulfill their purpose. In this case, the brain disease you mentioned has mutated and malformed proteins that are normally found to begin near the blood vessels in the neck.

Suppose an electron and a proton move at the same speed. which particle has a longer de broglie wavelength? suppose an electron

BARSIC [14]

When both particles, the electron and the proton move at the same speed, they may have differences with their de Broglie wavelength, the particle that would have a longer wavelength would be the proton since the wavelength is in direct proportionality with the mass of the particle.

A thin layer of liquid methylene iodide (n = 1.756) is sandwiched between two flat, parallel plates of glass (n = 1.50). What mu

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

t = 96.1 nm

Explanation:

For strong reflection through liquid layer we know that the path difference between two reflected light rays must be integral multiple of wavelength

now we know that the path difference of two reflected light from thin liquid layer is given as

$2\mu t - \frac{\lambda}{2} = N\lambda$
