Nonamiya [84]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Time taken 172.8 years

Explanation:

Given data:

Total amount of strontium-90 = 1000.0 g

Amount left = 15.625 g

Half life of strontium = 28.8 years

Time taken = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives:

At time zero = 1000.0 g

At first half life = 1000.0g/2 = 500 g

At second half life = 500 g/2 = 250 g

At third half life = 250 g/ 2 = 125 g

At 4th half life = 125 g/ 2= 62.5 g

At 5th half life = 62.5 g/2 = 31.25 g

At 6th half life = 31.25 g / 2 = 15.625 g

Time taken:

Time taken = number of half lives × half life

Time taken = 6×28.8 years

Time taken = 172.8 years

Ber [7]

Answer  is option D. All of these choices are correct.

<u>Explanation</u>:

SNP or  single nucleotide polymorphism is a location that showcases the difference in individual alleles by one base pair. Mainly, a genetic difference that happens between different individuals.  

It is the most common variation in genetics among people. Further, every SNP represents the difference in single DNA building block known as a nucleotide. Many SNPs do not affect the health of a person. It helps in predicting a response of a  person to drugs.

What is the frequency of a red light with a wavelength of 6.98 x 10^-6
nevsk [136]

Answer:

frequency of light = 4.2\times 10^{-13}

Explanation:

we know that relation between frequency and wavelength of light is

frequency × wavelength = speed of light.

therefore frequency = \frac{c}{wavelength}

                                  = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{6.98\times 10^{-6}}

                                  =4.2\times 10^{-13}
