Which of the following describes gamma rays?

Physics
2 answers:
Anarel [89]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: short wavelength, high frequency

Explanation:

Gamma rays are highly energetic electromagnetic waves. High energy implies high frequency.

E = h ν

h is the Planck's constant, ν is the frequency.

For electromagnetic radiation, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. Thus, gamma rays have high frequency but short wavelength.

The frequency of gamma rays is greater than 10¹⁹ Hz and wavelength is less 10⁻¹² m.

Which of the following types of radiation can penetrate through paper but not through wood?
andrew-mc [135]
The type of radiation that can penetrate through paper, but not through wood is called beta rays. Beta rays can penetrate paper and air, but a thin piece of alimony can stop it. Gamma can cut through anything except lead and many inches of concrete. Alpha can be stopped by paper and not penetrated. The correct answer is B.

Calculate the binding energy per nucleon of the helium nucleus 52he. express your answer in millions of electron volts to four s
Vitek1552 [10]
The main formula is given by Eb/nucleon = Eb/ mass of nucleid
as for <span>52He, the mass is 5
so by applying Einstein's formula Eb=DmC², Eb=</span><span>binding energy
</span><span>52He-----------> 2 x 11p + 3 x10n is the equation bilan
</span>so Dm=2 mp + (5-2)mn-mnucleus, mp=mass of proton=1.67 10^-27 kg
                                                        mn=mass of neutron=<span>1.67 10^-27 kg
                                                        </span><span>m nucleus= 5
Dm= 2x</span>1.67 10^-27 kg+ 3x<span>1.67 10^-27 kg-5=  - 4.9 J
Eb= </span> - <span>4.9 J x c²= -4.9 x 9 .10^16= - 45 10^16 J
so the answer is Eb /nucleon = Eb/5= -9.10^16 J, but 1eV=1.6 . 10^-19 J
so </span><span>-9.10^16 J/ 1.6 10^-19=  -5.625 10^35 eV

the final answer is </span><span>Eb /nucleon </span><span>=  -5.625 x10^35 eV</span>

When applying a horizontal force of 30N, an object of mass 6 kg accelerates at 4m/s2. The force of friction on the surface must
Rus_ich [418]
Using Newton's Second Law, F = ma, where F is the net force

So the net force is:

F = (6kg)(4m/s^2) = 24N

Since you are applying a horizontal force of 30N, we can find the force of friction by the difference of the net force and the applied force.

30N-24N = 6N

F_{f} = 6N
