What is radioactivity

Physics
1 answer:
KATRIN_1 [288]4 years ago
3 0
Radioactivity refers to the particles which are emitted from nuclei as a result of nuclear instability. Because the nucleus experiences the intense conflict between the two strongest forces in nature, it should not be surprising that there are many nuclear isotopes which are unstable and emit some kind of radiation.

You prepare tea with 0.250 kg of water at 85.0 ºC and let it cool down to room temperature (20.0 ºC) before drinking it. Essenti
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

232 J/K

Explanation:

The amount of heat gained by the air = the amount of heat lost by the tea.

q_air = -q_tea

q = -mCΔT

q = -(0.250 kg) (4184 J/kg/ºC) (20.0ºC − 85.0ºC)

q = 68,000 J

The change in entropy is:

dS = dQ/T

Since the room temperature is constant (isothermal):

ΔS = ΔQ/T

Plug in values (remember to use absolute temperature):

ΔS = (68,000 J) / (293 K)

ΔS = 232 J/K

We divide the electromagnetic spectrum into six major categories of light, listed below. Rank these forms of light from left to
makkiz [27]

electromagnetic spectrum is consisting of many frequency range which is from gamma rays to radio waves

they are of various wavelength and different energy levels

minimum wavelength will occurs at Gamma rays

and maximum wavelength at Radio waves

the list of increasing order of wavelength is as following

Gamma rays < X rays < Ultraviolet < Visible Light < Infrared Waves < Radio Waves

so least to maximum order is

1. Gamma rays

2. X rays

3 Ultraviolet

4 Visible light

5 Infrared waves

6 Radio waves
