1.1 / 2 = .7 --> 2.86 yrs

.7 / 2 = .45 —> 5.72 yrs

.45 / 2 = .225 —> 8.58 yrs

.225 / 2 = .1125 —> 11.44 yrs

So, for the sample of plutonium to reach .140 mg it should take a little less than 11.44 years.

Hope this helps

Which statement most completely defines a wave? *
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

A wave transfers energy through a medium or empty space without transporting matter.

Explanation:

  • A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point known as the source to another.
  • Waves may transfer energy through a material medium or a vacuum without transporting matter.
  • Waves that transfer energy from one point to another through a material medium are known as mechanical waves.
  • Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are those that do not require a material medium for transmission, the transfer of energy is through a vacuum.
  • Waves can also be either transverse or longitudinal waves based on the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.
