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.

How can i prove the conservation of mechanical energy?​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

We can also prove the conservation of mechanical energy of a freely falling body by the work-energy theorem, which states that change in kinetic energy of a body is equal to work done on it. i.e. W=ΔK. And ΔE=ΔK+ΔU. Hence the mechanical energy of the body is conserved

Based on their colors, which of the following stars is hottest? Which is coolest? Archenar (blue), Betelgeuse (red), Capella (ye
Cloud [144]

Answer: The hottest star is Archenar( blue) and the coolest star is Betelgeuse

Explanation:

Objects emit radiation that depends exclusively on their temperature. At an ambient temperature, the radiation emitted by an object is in the infrared spectrum (we could only see it with a special camera). If we heat it we will see that it first turns red (whose state we call “red hot”) because it is the lowest and least energetic wavelength of all.

If we continue to heat it, the wavelength that it emits to one with more energy will continue to increase and we will see that it turns yellow and then white. This is a signal that is emitting at all frequencies (but mainly in blue).

If we continue to warm a body that is "white hot", it would emit in the ultraviolet spectrum, with what would become ... black! then we would not see it emits light in the visible spectrum (well, we would see a very faint bluish light corresponding to the tail of the distribution of the spectrum it emits, but the peak of that spectrum would be in the ultraviolet).
