X-Ray telescopes are the one which helped the scientist to study very high energy objects in outer space such as exploding supernovae, black holes and pulsars efficiently.

Answer: C

Explanation:

The X-rays can penetrate through larger distance and also through the mirrors of the satellite at grazing angle with least diffraction.

The X-rays are emitted in the form of high energy photons during explosions of supernovae, black holes and pulsars.

All kinds of explosions in the space release light and heat. From the heat energy X-rays will also be released during these explosions. So these X-rays emitted during explosions can be detected by a space telescope with X-ray detector mostly photo detector.

As soft X-rays can easily penetrate the mirror of the satellite containing the telescope, soft x-rays can be detected in space.

The X-ray telescopes could be used once the telescope is placed in space because most of the x-rays will be absorbed in the earth's atmosphere if the telescope is used in earth.

So by satellites, the telescope is made to reach the uppermost layer of atmosphere or in space such that x-rays could be detected.

Very high-energy objects and events spit out very high-energy photons, so the instrument you need in order to detect them is the       X-ray telescope. <em>(C)  </em>

Inconveniently, X-ray telescopes only work when they're up in orbit, because X-rays get seriously soaked up in Earth's atmosphere, and most of them never make it down to the surface ... (lucky for us !) .

If you wanted to find a sample of fermium, which has an atomic number of 100, where would you look?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Fermium is a synthetic element with the symbol Fm and atomic number 100. It is an actinide and the heaviest element that can be formed by neutron bombardment of lighter elements, and hence the last element that can be prepared in macroscopic quantities, although pure fermium metal has not yet been prepared.[3] A total of 19 isotopes are known, with 257Fm being the longest-lived with a half-life of 100.5 days.

It was discovered in the debris of the first hydrogen bomb explosion in 1952, and named after Enrico Fermi, one of the pioneers of nuclear physics. Its chemistry is typical for the late actinides, with a preponderance of the +3 oxidation state but also an accessible +2 oxidation state. Owing to the small amounts of produced fermium and all of its isotopes having relatively short half-lives, there are currently no uses for it outside basic scientific research.

X-rays are used instead of visible light because X-rays have shorter ______________ than visible light, allowing them to produce
Novay_Z [31]
X-rays have shorter wavelength than visible light. But that's hardly the reason that they're used for medical imaging. xrays have much higher frequencies then visible light which means they have much greater penetrating ability. with xrays you can see inside the body. you can't do that with a visible flashlight no matter how bright and powerful it is.

The thermal energy of a container of helium gas is halved. what happens to the temperature in kelvin
xxTIMURxx [149]
Thermal energy quantifies the amount of heat present in the body and is calculated through the equation,

   H = mcpdT

where H is the heat, m is the mass, cp is the specific heat, and dT is the temperature difference. If all things are constant, and the thermal energy is halved then, dT should also be reduced to half.
