3 0

Answer:

0.00001581 light years

Explanation:

distance divided by speed of light= 150,000,000/300,000= 500 seconds 8.3333

8.3 minutes

now divide this by 60 x 24 x 365.25. so you will get answer=  

.000015823 light years.

If a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus, which of the following statements about this decay are correct? (There
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A gamma particle is basically a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength.

Symbol of a gamma particle is ^{0}_{0}\gamma. Hence, charge on a gamma particle is also 0.

For example, ^{234}_{91}Pa \rightarrow ^{234}_{91}Pa + ^{0}_{0}\gamma + Energy

So, when a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus then there will occur no change in the number of protons and neutrons of the parent atom but there will be loss of energy as a nuclear reaction has occurred.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement daughter nucleus has the same number of nucleons as the original nucleus., is correct about if  a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer: The multiplication factor is 72.136 cm. This will give you the unit conversion when multiplied with 28.4 inch

Explanation:

1 inch = 2.54 cm

28.4 inches = x cm

Xcm= (28.4 inches × 2.54cm)/1 inch

X= 72.136
