Answer : Amongst the given choices a weak beam of ultraviolet light is considered to be the worst as compared to others.

The wavelength of UV light is from 10 nm to 400 nm, and its energy varies from 3 eV to 124 eV.

As a single beam of UV light will have much energy in each photon which is emitted. The damage done by UV rays is observed to be very harmful in human cells and may cause many diseases. UV rays can also damage the eyes as more than 99% of UV radiation is absorbed by the front of the eyes. It can also lead to ultimate blindness. Therefore, it is considered to be much worse than an intense beam of infrared light.

What is the daughter nuclide when 0-15 experiences positron emission?
Helen [10]

The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,  

  • alpha α particles ₂He⁴
  • beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
  • gamma particles γ
  • positron particles ₁e⁰

O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same

Reaction

 \tt _8^{15}O\Rightarrow _7^{15}N+_1^0e

The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7

If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)

Why do you think forensic scientists are so careful that the tests they do are sensitive, reproducible, and specific?
mario62 [17]

Critical Thinking Questions

1. Why do you think forensic scientists are so careful that the tests they do are sensitive, reproducible, and specific? What might happen if they were less careful about this?

They have to be careful to ensure as much accuracy as possible.

2.Which type of evidence do you think is most useful in an investigation? Why?

Physical evidence would probably be most important because it is the best way to connect someone directly with that crime.

3.Why do you think that forensic scientists continue to look for class characteristics given their limitations?

Class characteristics are good in court because it provides details of different aspects of the crime.
