Francium-223 has a half-life of 22 minutes. A Geiger counter gives a reading of 58 counts per minute (cpm) from a sample of fran

cium-223. What will the reading be 22 minutes later? You can ignore background radiation.

Answer:

29 counts per minute (29 cpm)

Explanation:

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time needed for the activity of the sample to halve.The half-life of Francium-223 is exactly 22 minutes: this means that its activity after 22 minutes becomes exactly half of its initial value. Since the initial activity of this sample of francium-223 was 58 cpm, the activity after 22 minutes will be

A=\frac{58 cpm}{2}=29 cpm

A.
if you have seen a newton's cradle this will make sense.

in order for both of them to travel at the same speed, the balls need to have the same mass and the speed to begin with tocontinue to travel at the same speed because mass can affect the impact of the force on the balls by each other, causing each ball to have different speeds.

Given the indices of refraction n_1 and n_2 of material 1 and material 2, respectively, rank these scenarios on the basis of the
aniked [119]

Answer:

a)  order of refraction is a, e, de, c , c) a f g

Explanation:

a) when lightning is refracted it must comply with the law of refraction

          .n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂

          sin θ / sin δδa) when lightning is refracted it must comply with the law of refraction

          .n1 sin θ₁ = n2 sin θ ₂

          Sint θ1 / sin θ2 = n2 / n1

1 we see that the ray deviation is promotional to the ratio of the refractive indices

The order of refraction is a, e, de, c

.b) When a ray passes from a medium with less indicated refraction to a higher index the part of the reflected ray has a phase change of 180º

a) no phase change

b) reflected ray has a phase change of 180º

c) no phase change

d) no phase change

e) there is a phase change

f) these phase changeo
