After the 1st half-life 250 g of the radioactive material will be left. 
<span>After the 2nd half-life 125 g of the radioactive material will be left. </span>
<span>After the 3rd half-life 62.5 g of the radioactive material will be left. </span>

<span>Therefore after 60 minutes, 3 half lives would have occurred. </span>

<span>Therefore the half-life = 60 / 3 = 20 minutes when 250 grams of the original material would have remained radioactive. </span>

<span>Therefore the answer is A) About 250 gram of the material decayed in 20 minutes.</span>

The process of transducing air pressure waves into neural messages that the brain interprets as meaningful sound is known as
Nikolay [14]
Hearing.

The process of hearing starts by pressure waves that are captured by our ears and taken inside the ear by the ear canal reaching firstly the ear drum. The ear drum then vibrates according to the pressure waves that were captured making the acicular (a set of 3 little bones) enter in motion. This vibrations then move from the acicular to the inner ear. Within the inner ear we can find the cochlea which is where this mechanical waves are converted into electrical signals and then passed to the brain. The auditory cortex of the brain then interprets this signals as sounds and gives them meaning.
