Carbon -14 and Carbon 12 are the two substances geologists use in radiocarbon dating.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

Radiocarbon dating denotes the determination process of the age of fossils of plants or animals based on the ratio of carbon atoms 14 to 12. Carbon naturally exists in two non-radioactive isotopes, Carbon-12 and Carbon-13 and one radioactive isotope carbon 14. The carbon 14 gets released on continuous cosmic reaction with atmospheric nitrogen.

These carbon 14 will be absorbed by the living plants and from the plants. Then, it will enter inside the animals which consume the plants. But once the plants and animals died, they ceased to intake carbon-14. In their living state, the ratios of carbon atoms 14 to 12 in them tends to similar to the ratio in atmosphere.

But after they die, the ratio of C-14 to C-12 will be varying from the ratio of C-14 to C-12 in atmosphere as the concentration of C-14 will be decreasing in the dead animals and plants. Thus using this ratio, geologists can find the fossil's age.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

No photoelectric effect is observed for Mercury.

Explanation:

From E= hf

h= Plank's constant

f= frequency of incident light

Threshold Frequency of mercury= 435×10^3/ 6.6×10^-34 × 6.02×10^23

f= 11×10^14 Hz

The highest frequency of visible light is 7.5×10^14. This is clearly less than the threshold frequency of mercury hence no electron is emitted from the mercury surface

If the copper is drawn into wire whose diameter is 9.50 mm, how many feet of copper can be obtained from the ingot? The density
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The length of the wire = 352.66 feet.

Explanation:

A copper refinery produces a copper ingot weighing 150 lb. If the copper is drawn into wire whose diameter is 9.50 mm, how many feet of copper can be obtained from the ingot? The density of copper is 8.94 g/cm3. (Assume that the wire is a cylinder whose volume is V = πr2h, where r is the radius and h is its height or length.)

Step 1: Convert lb to kg

150 lb = 68.0389 kg

Step 2: Calculate volume of copper

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 68038.9 grams / 8.94 g/cm³

Volume = 7610.6 cm³ Cu

Step 3: Calculate length of wire

The diameter of the wire is 9.50 mm, so the radius is half of that (4.75 mm), or 0.475 cm.

The total "volume" of the wire is πr²h = (π)*(0.475 cm)²(h) = 0.708h = 7610 cm^3

7610 = 0.708h

h = 10749 cm = length of wire

The length of the wire = 352.66 feet.
