Answer:

Alpha is the least penetrating radiation listed below.

Gamma is the most penetrating radiation in the given list.

These rays can be used to detect cancer, sterilizing the medical instrument, smoke detector, etc.

Radiation emitted from the radioactive elements also have very harmful. They affect the living being a lot. Waste from the nuclear reactor also contains harmful radiation which causes Land pollution if not disposed of properly.

A flat sheet of paper of area 0.365 m2 is oriented so that the normal to the sheet is at an angle of 60 ∘ to a uniform electric
andriy [413]

Answer:

A.) 3.65 N*m²/C B) No C) 0º D) 90º

Explanation:

A) The electric flux, when the electric field is uniform across a gausssian surface, can be calculated as the dot product of the electric field vector, and the vector representing the area of the surface (normal to the surface and directed outward it by convention), as follows:

Flux = E*A*cos φ

where E = 20 N/C, A = 0.365 m², φ = 60º.

Replacing by the values, we can get the value of the electric flux, as follows:

Flux = 20 N/C* 0.365 m²*0.5 = 3.65 N*m²/C

B) While the area remains constant, and doesn't change orientation, the value of the flux will be the same, regardless the shape of the sheet.

C) When the normal to the sheet and the electric field are parallel each other, the surface will intercept the maximum number of field lines, i.e. the flux will be directly E*A*cos 0º = E*A (maximum value possible).

D) When the electric field is tangent to the surface, this means that no field lines will be intercepted by the sheet, so the flux is zero.

In this case, φ = 90º, cos φ = 0

⇒ E*A*cos 90º = E*A*0 = 0

The elements least likely to form bonds are found in which group?<br> O 15<br> O 16<br> 017<br> O 18
12345 [234]
The answer is group 18.

Explanation:
Group 18 is known as the Noble Gases. They are the most stable elements because they have a full outer shell of valence electrons, so they have no need to bond with other elements.
