Answer:

c) 22,920 years

Explanation:

The half-life of C-14 is 5730 so in 5730 years , amount of C-14 is reduced to half.

In 5730 x 2  years , the amount of C-14 is reduced to 1/4 .

In 5730 x 3 years ,  the amount of C-14 is reduced to 1/8 .

In 5730 x 4 years ,  the amount of C-14 is reduced to 1/16 .

In 22920 years ,  the amount of C-14 is reduced to 1/16 .

So the answer is 22920 years.

Lightning a. occurs when a positively charged cloud base induces a negative charge on the Earth's surface. b. travels most often
mart [117]

Answer:

c. may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

Explanation:

Lightning is a discharge which is due to the reaction between oppositely charged charges in the clouds, or between clouds base and the Earth surface.

The motion of the cloud causes charging of clouds by friction, thus the reaction between opposite charges (jumping of charges from one cloud to another) in the cloud can lead to lightning. Also, oftentimes the bottom of a cloud is negatively charged so that this is attracted to the positive charge on the earth surface. Thus leading to a discharge called lightning.

Thus in the given question, the appropriate option is C. This implies that, lightning may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

Why does the candle light has no shadow when light fall on it?​
andrezito [222]
Shadows are the absence of light, they are created when an object blocks light. In other words, shadows are the product of light particles, known as photons. These particles “bounce off” of the object without reaching the other side. Therefore light by itself will not form a shadow.
