Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to earth from the sun is in the form of visible light. Light is made of waves of different frequencies.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
First law of thermodynamics is the conservation of energy states that energy is not created and not destroyed but only can be stored.
Thermodynamics second law states that total entropy of a system increases from lower to higher system and some of the energy is always wasted during the work done.
In the food chain plants are the producers which accept light energy and stored in the form of chemical energy and energy flow to the herbivores and higher trophic levels in the chemical form only and no new energy is created in between the chain (Fisrt law of thermodynamics). Heat is generated during respiration by plants and animals (wasted energy) and entropy also increases with the increase in level of the pyramid of energy (Second law of thermodynamics).
Reducing sugar is any sugar (all monosaccharides, some disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides) that is capable of acting as a reducing agent because it contains free aldehyde group or free ketone group.
Aldehyde group or alkanal is an organic compound containing formyl group. The formyl group is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl center bonded to hydrogen and an R group. This group can be readily reduced to primary alcohol with the help of catalyctic hydrogenation either applied directly or by transfer hydrogenation.
Ketone group unlike aldehyde group does not have a hydrogen atome bonded to the carbonyl group but it can still be hydrogenated.
Answer:
The person has been dead for approximately 15,300 years
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- The half-life of carbon 14 is 5,600 years
- The human skeleton level of carbon 14 is 15% that of a living human
To answer this question we can make use of the following equation
Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁
Where,
- C14 T₀ ⇒ Amount of carbon in a living body at time 0 = 100%
- C14T₁ ⇒ Amount of carbon in the dead body at time 1 = 15%
- λ ⇒ radioactive decay constant = (Ln2)/T₀,₅
- T₀,₅ ⇒ The half-life of carbon 14 = 5600 years
- T₀ = 0
- T₁ = ???
Let us first calculate the radioactive decay constant.
λ = (Ln2)/T₀,₅
λ = 0.693/5600
λ = 0.000123
Now, let us calculate the first term in the equation
Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = Ln (15%/100%) = Ln 0.15 = - 1.89
Finally, let us replace the terms, clear the equation, and calculate the value of T₁.
Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁
- 1.89 = - 0.000123 x T₁
T₁ = - 1.89 / - 0.000123
T₁ = 15,365 years
The person has been dead for approximately 15,300 years
