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.

Which type of wave has a longer wavelength: AM radio waves (with frequencies in the kilohertz range) or FM radio waves (with fre
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

AM has longer wavelength

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength and teh frequency is given by

v = f x λ

Where, f is the frequency and λ be the wavelength.

It shows that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

So, higher the frequency, smaller be the wavelength.

So, FM has high frequency than AM, thus, FM has lower wavelength as compared to AM.
