If you have 80g of a radioactive substance whose half life is 2 days, how long will it take for the substance to decay to the po

Answer:

6 days.

Explanation:

From radioactivity, The expression for half life is given as,

R/R' = 2⁽ᵃ/ᵇ)................... Equation 1

Where R = original mass of the radioactive substance, R' = Remaining mass of the radioactive substance after decay, a = Total time taken to decay, b = half life.

Given: R = 80 g, R' = 10 g, b = 2 days.

Substitute into equation 1

80/10 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

8 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

2³ = 2⁽ᵃ/²)

Equating the base and solving for a

3 = a/2

a = 2×3

a = 6 days.

All waves must ____ have to travel through
babunello [35]
<h2>All waves must ____ have to travel through </h2>

Explanation:

Wave

It is the periodic disturbance in a medium.

Types of Wave

There are two types of wave in general depending upon their propagation through a substance.

• Mechanical  

• Electromagnetic  

Mechanical Wave

It is the kind of wave which needs medium to travel. For example: Sound Wave  

That means sound can be heard only whenever there is presence of certain substance like water, glass, air etc .It can’t be heard in vacuum no matter how loud is the sound.

Electromagnetic Wave

Is that which can travel through medium as well as through vacuum. For example: Light  

But unlike sound, light can be seen through a substance or in vacuum. That is the reason it is referred as electromagnetic wave.

radio waves travel at the speed of light, 3 x 10^8 m/s. the wavelength of a radio wave record is 200,000,000 hz is?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

1.5m

Explanation:

Speed of waves is given as the product of the wavelength and frequency. Sometimes when frequency is not given but the period is given, we get the frequency as the reciprocal of the period. The speed of waves is given in m/s, wavelength in m while frequency in Hz.

Speed, s= fw and making w the subject of formula,

w=\frac {s}{f}

Substituting 300, 000, 000 m/s for s and 200, 000, 000 for f then we obtain that

w=\frac {300000000}{200000000}=1.5 m
