Hi there!
Question - Which of the following statements is true?
Answer - C. You are exposed to nuclear radiation every day.
Why - "radiation in the form of elementary particles emitted by an atomic nucleus, as alpha rays or gamma rays, produced by decay of radioactive substances or by nuclear fission."
B. The Earth radiates an amount of energy into space equal to the amount it receives.
Part of the solar energy is reflected by the Earth into space, this is known as albedo. The other part of the energy radiated by the Earth in the form of infrared radiation, is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, which cause most of this infrared radiation to be emitted into space. Therefore, the net flow of energy is zero.
That particular group of elements is reffered to as the "Noble Gasses"--a title that comes from the fact that these gases are very "secure" and don't mix well with other elements.
Answer:
the exposed core of a dead star, supported by electron degeneracy pressure.
Explanation:
A white dwarf is a low luminosity exposed core of a dead star having mass comparable to the sun but volume comparable to the earth . So its density is very high . These stars have lost the capacity to generate energy through the process of fusion . Due to high gravitational energy , it goes on shrinking but ultimately balanced by electron degeneracy pressure. It is not a main sequence star as it has lost the power of fusion .
