Answer: option D - The total number of nucleons changes.

Explanation:

Nuclear Reaction is best described as a process such as the fission of an atomic nucleus, or the fusion of one or more atomic nuclei and / or subatomic particles in which the NUMBER of PROTONS and / or NEUTRONS in a nucleus CHANGES; the reaction products may contain a different element or a different isotope of the same element.

Note that the NUCLEONS refers to ONE of the subatomic particles of the atomic nucleus, i.e. a PROTON or a NEUTRON.

So, in a Nuclear reaction, the total number of nucleons changes.

A laser used to read CDs emits red light of wavelength 700 nm. How many photons does it emit each second if its power is?(a) 0.1
Elenna [48]

power = work/time

watt = joule/sec

a) power = 0.10 watt = 0.1joules/sec

work = power * time

= 0.10 * 1 =0.1joules

work is northing but energy

therefore energy is 0.1joules

according to planks quantum theory E = nhν where nis the no. of photons ; h is planks constant; ν isfrequency

hence, n = E/hν

or n = Eλ/hc (ν = c/λ)

n = (0.1*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^18photons

b) similar to the above calculation

here E = 1.0joules

n = (1.0*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^17photons

Who was the first to propose the idea of atoms?
VMariaS [17]

Answer::Democritus

Explanation

The idea that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles, or atoms, is believed to have originated with the Greek philosopher Leucippus of Miletus and his student Democritus of Abdera in the 5th century B.C. (The word atom comes from the Greek word atomos, which means “indivisible.”) These thinkers held that,
