Answer:

Gamma Rays

Explanation:

For the starting nucleus, the gamma rays is the type of radioactive decay results in no change in mass number and atomic number. This is only due to the fact that gamma rays don't have any mass and also don't have any kind of electric charge. So after decaying it shows no sign of change in atomic number because neither the mass has changed nor the charge.

A person standing a certain distance from four identical loudspeakers is hearing a sound level intensity of 125 dB. What sound l

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

$\mathbf{\beta = 123.75 \ dB}$

Explanation:

From the question, using the expression:

$125 \ dB = 10 \ log (\dfrac{I}{I_o})$

where;

$I_o = 10^{-12} \ W/m^2$

$I = 10^{12.5} \times 10^{-12} \ W/m^2$

$I = 3.162 \ W/m^2$

This is a combined intensity of 4 speakers.

Thus, the intensity of 3 speakers = $\dfrac{3.162\times 3}{4}$

= 2.372 W/m²

Thus;

$\beta = 10 \ log ( \dfrac{2.372}{10^{-12}} ) \ W/m^2$

$\mathbf{\beta = 123.75 \ dB}$

What mass of ice (in g) can be melted if 27.2 kJ of thermal energy are added at the freezing point? Use molar mass = 18.02 g/mol

san4es73 [151]

Answer : The mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of ice.

$Q=\frac{\Delta H}{n}$

where,

Q = energy absorbed = 27.2 kJ

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy of fusion of ice = 6.01 kJ/mol

n = moles = ?

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

$27.2kJ=\frac{6.01kJ/mol}{n}$

$n=0.221mol$

Now we have to calculate the mass of ice.

$\text{Mass of ice}=\text{Moles of ice}\times \text{Molar mass of ice}$

Molar mass of ice = 18.02 g/mol

$\text{Mass of ice}=0.221mol\times 18.02g/mol=3.98g$

Thus, the mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

Design an experimental set up to show that white light is made up of different colours of light

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Issac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight. He tried to split the colours of the spectrum of white light further by using another similar prism. However, he could not get any more colours. He then placed a second identical prism in an inverted position with respect to the first as shown.

This allowed all the colours of the spectrum to pass through the second prism. He found a beam of white light emerging from the other side of the second prism. This observation gave Newton the idea that the sunlight is made-up of seven colours.
