How many half-lifes is 49.2 years ?

(49.2 years) / (12.3 years per half-life)  =  4 half-lifes.

In 4 half-lifes, (1/2) · (1/2) · (1/2) · (1/2) of the original sample remains.

That's (1/2⁴) or (1/16) of the original.

(1/16) of 48.0 mg  =  <em>3 mg</em> .

=======================

Step-by-step:

== Start with 48 mg .

== After one half-life, 24 mg remains.

== Then, after the second half-life, 12 mg remains.

== Then, after the third half-life, 6 mg remains.

== Then, after the fourth half-life, <em>3 mg</em> remains.

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for this, the easy one, is

N=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{H} where No is the initial amount of the element, t is the time in years, and H is the half life. Filling in:

N=48.0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{49.2}{12.3} and simplifying a bit:

N=48.0(.5)^4 and

N = 48.0(.0625) so

N = 3 mg left after 12.3 years

Find the angle for the third-order maximum for 591 nm wavelength light falling on a diffraction grating having 1460 lines per ce
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

15.32°

Explanation:

We have given the wavelength \lambda =591nm=591\times 10^{-9}m

Diffraction grating is 1460 lines per cm

So  d=\frac{10^{-2}}{1460}=6.71\times 10^{-6}m (as 1 m=100 cm )

For maximum diffraction

dsin\Theta =m\lambda here m is order of diffraction

So 6.71\times 10^{-6}sin\Theta =3\times 591\times 10^{-9}

sin\Theta =0.264

\Theta =15.32^{\circ}
