Answer:

A. 28 years

Explanation:

Applying,

R = R'(2ᵃ/ⁿ).............. Equation 1

Where R = Original sample, R' = Sample left after decay, a = Total time taken to decay, n = half life.

From the question,

Given: R = 12 g, R' = 6 g, a = 28 years.

Substitute into equation 1 and solve for n

12 = 6(2²⁸/ⁿ)

12/6 = 2²⁸/ⁿ

2²⁸/ⁿ = 2

Equation the base,

28/n = 1

n = 28 years.

Hence the half-life is 28 years

Compare photons of gamma and radio radiation. which has: the longer wavelength? the greater frequency? the greater energy?
Nataly [62]
<span>Gamma radiation has a shorter wavelength, a higher frequency and higher energy than radio radiation. Wavelength is inverse to frequency and energy (i.e. higher wavelength means lower frequency and lower energy, and vice versa).</span>

Think of Earth's shape. How does the shape of Earth affect the amount of heat different
diamong [38]

Answer: The Earth is an oblate spheroid which is more elongated along the equator.

Regions along the equator receives more amount of direct sunlight from the sun causing higher temperatures along the region. While places along the poles receives less amount of heat since heat is scattered in a larger area due to the shape of the Earth around the poles.

Explanation: So places along the equator experiences higher temperature due to the direct hit of sunlight. And places along the polar regions experiences cooler temperature since it receives less amount of sunlight.
