Answer: The half-life is the amount of time it takes for a given isotope to lose half of its radioactivity. If a radioisotope has a half-life of 14 days, half of its atoms will have decayed within 14 days. In 14 more days, half of that remaining half will decay, and so on.

sasho [114]

Answer:

Red has the longest wavelength among all the visible colors of light.

Explanation:

Visible light is the only electromagnetic radiations which can be seen by human eye.  When white visible light passes through a prism it breaks down into 7 distinctive colors of rainbow.

These are red, orange, yellow, green blue, indigo and violet.

Red has the longest wavelength of around 700 nano meters with violet has the shortest wavelength of 380 nano meters.

A certain parallel-plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric for which κ = 5.0. The area of each plate is 0.027 m2, and the pl
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Energy will be 4.776\times 10^{-5}J  

Explanation:

We have given that dielectric constant k = 5

Area of the plate A=0.027m^2

Distance between the plates d=2mm=2\times 10^{-3}m

Electric field E = 200 kN/C

We know that capacitance is given by C=\frac{K\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{5\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.027}{2\times 10^{-3}}=0.597\times 10^{-9}F

We know that electric field is given by E=\frac{V}{d}

So V=Ed=200\times 10^3\times 2\times 10^{-3}=400volt

So energy will be E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.597\times 10^{-9}\times 400^2=4.776\times 10^{-5}J
