FALSE this is not true
(according to Apex 5.3.2 quiz in Physical Science A)
The answer will be pressure.
Pressure is force per unit area.
The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe is constantly expanding and that stars, galaxies and other entities are moving away from each other. If there were a galaxy moving closer to earth then that would contradict the Big Bang theory since the entities should be moving away from earth and from each other.
Answer:
<h3>a.</h3>
- After it has traveled through 1 cm :

- After it has traveled through 2 cm :

<h3>b.</h3>
- After it has traveled through 1 cm :

- After it has traveled through 2 cm :

Explanation:
<h2>
a.</h2>
For this problem, we can use the Beer-Lambert law. For constant attenuation coefficient
the formula is:

where I is the intensity of the beam,
is the incident intensity and x is the length of the material traveled.
For our problem, after travelling 1 cm:




After travelling 2 cm:




<h2>b</h2>
The optical density od is given by:
.
So, after travelling 1 cm:




After travelling 2 cm:
