Plz help An X-ray technician will place a lead cloth over parts of your body when taking an X-ray to protect your cells from bei

ng damaged. Why do X-rays have the potential to harm your body but radio waves do not?
Question 6 options:

a.X-rays have a taller wavelength than radio waves as shown in the diagram, so they are more harmful.


c.Radio waves have longer wavelengths than X-rays and therefore carry more energy than X-rays.


c.Radio waves are shorter than X-rays and therefore weaker in strength..


d.X-rays have a much shorter wavelength than radio waves, and therefore carry more energy that can be transferred to your body.

Letter d. Hope it helps.

Answer: The correct option is d.

Explanation:

The wavelength and the frequency have an inverse relationship. The shorter the wavelength of the wave, higher the frequency of the wave. Then the photon energy of the waves will be high because the energy of the photon is directly proportional to the frequency.

X-rays have a much shorter wavelength than radio waves. It carries more energy. It can ionize the matter. When it is incident on the biological material then it can disrupt the molecular bond.

This is the reason that an X-ray technician places a a lead cloth over parts of your body when taking an X-ray to protect your cells from being damaged.

Therefore, the correct option is d.

A 0.46-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.2 m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels
Kryger [21]

Answer:

      T = 6.0 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the cord = 0.46 Kg

length of the supports = 7.2 m

time taken to travel = 0.74 s

tension in the chord = ?

using formula for tension calculation

T = \dfrac{v^2.m}{l}

v = \dfrac{l}{s}

v = \dfrac{7.2}{0.74}

v = 9.73 m/s

now, calculation of tension

T = \dfrac{9.73^2\times 0.46}{7.2}

      T = 6.0 N

The tension in the cord is equal to 6.0 N.

Is an atom with one valence electron more reactive than an atom with two electrone? ​
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

An atom with a closed shell of valence electrons (corresponding to an electron configuration s2p6) tends to be chemically inert. An atom with one or two valence electrons more than a closed shell is highly reactive, because the extra valence electrons are easily removed to form a positive ion.Explanation:

Charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere of radius R = 4.00 cm. At a distance of r = 8.00
Elena L [17]

Answer:

2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3

1979.99974\ N/C

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Q = Charge

r = Distance = 8 cm

R = Radius = 4 cm

Electric field is given by

E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{990\times 0.08^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow Q=7.04783\times 10^{-10}\ C

Volume charge density is given by

\sigma=\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\dfrac{7.04783\times 10^{-10}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (0.04)^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3

The volume charge density for the sphere is 2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3

E=\dfrac{kQr}{R^3}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 7.04783\times 10^{-10}\times 0.02}{0.04^3}\\\Rightarrow E=1979.99974\ N/C

The magnitude of the electric field is 1979.99974\ N/C

The colour of star depend on its temperature, why?​
taurus [48]

<em>Another key factor that determines a star's colour is its temperature. As stars become hotter, the overall radiated energy increases, and the peak of the curve changes to shorter wavelengths. To put it another way, when a star heats up, the light it produces moves toward the blue end of the spectrum.</em>
