Which type of radiation has the lowest penetrating ability?

Physics

DIA [1.3K]3 years ago

The correct answer to the question is : A) Alpha particle

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, we have three radioactive decay particles which are known as alpha particle,beta particle and gamma ray.

Out of these radioactive radiations, alpha particle and beta particle are material particles. Alpha particle is the doubly charged helium nucleus while beta particle is the stream of electrons.

Alpha and beta being material particles, their penetration depth is very lower.

Gamma ray is an electromagnetic radiations. Hence, its penetration effect is the most.

Out of alpha and beta particles, the size of alpha particle is more as compared to the size of beta particle. Hence, the penetration effect of alpha particle is less as compared to beta particle.

Hence, alpha particle has the lowest penetrating ability.

Determine the frequency of light whose wavelength is 4.257 x10-7 cm
Bas_tet [7]
<span>Frequency x Wavelength = Speed of light Now, speed of light = 3 x 10^5 km/s = 3 x 10^8 m/s = 3 x 10^10 cm/s Frequency = speed/Wavelength = (3 x 10^10)/(4.257 x 10^-7) =7 x 10^16 Hz</span>

A 25,000 kg traveling east collides with a 2,000 kg truck standing still on the tracks. After the collision the train and truck
Elis [28]

Answer:

24.084 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision

Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity

M_{truck}V_{truck}=V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing}) where M_{truck} is the mass of the truck, V_{truck} is velocity of the truck, V_{common} is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and M_{standing} is the mass of the standing truck

Making V_{truck} the subject we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})}{M_{truck}}

Substituting M_{truck} as 25000 Kg, V_{common} as 22.3 m/s, M_{standing} as 2000 Kg we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { 22.3 m/s *(25000 Kg +2000 Kg)}{25000}= 24.084 m/s

Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive

The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s
