Answer:

The correct answer is - B. It measures the tendency of a radioisotope to decay radioactively.

Explanation:

The half-life of the radioactive sample is the time it takes to decay to its half amount of the unstable nuclei of its initial amount. It is radioactively decays to its half value or in simple words, it takes the time to decay an unstable nuclei to decay to its half value.

It can take milliseconds to million years to disintegrate the different unstable nuclei of a radioactive substance to disintegrate its half amount to a stable substance.

Sound wave a has lower frequency than sounds wave b but both waves have the same amplitude . What must also be true of these two

Nady [450]

Explanation:

Higher the frequency smaller will be the wavelength. Higher frequency have shorter wavelength and lower frequency waves have larger wavelength. Also, Beats are formed by the superposition of two waves with slightly different frequencies but with similar amplitudes. In time, waves switch between constructive interference and disruptive interference, giving the resultant wave a time-varying amplitude.

Two substances, A and Z, are to be identified. Substance A can not be broken down by a chemical change. Substance Z can be broke

I am Lyosha [343]

The answer is 3). This is because elements are the simplest form of a substance, and cannot be broken down any further. Compounds on the other hand are much more complex than elements and can be broken down INTO elements. For example, Na, sodium, is an element and cannot be broken down further. H2O, water, is a compound and can be broken down into Hydrogen and Oxygen.
