Define A Gamma Ray .....---_---__☘️​

Physics
1 answer:
MrRa [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

gamma ray, or gamma radiation (symbol γ or {\displaystyle \gamma } \gamma ), is a penetrating form of electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It consists of the shortest wavelength electromagnetic waves and so imparts the highest photon energy. Paul Villard, a French chemist and physicist, discovered gamma radiation in 1900 while studying radiation emitted by radium. In 1903, Ernest Rutherford named this radiation gamma rays based on their relatively strong penetration of matter; in 1900 he had already named two less penetrating types of decay radiation (discovered by Henri Becquerel) alpha rays and beta rays in ascending order of penetrating power.

What is the minimum mass needed for a star to be on the main sequence? What happens to stars that do not meet the minimum mass?
Mariana [72]
Main sequence stars are characterised by the source of their energy.They are all undergoing fusion of hydrogen into helium within their cores. The mass of the star is the main element for such process or phenomenon to take place for it is a determinant of both the rate at which they perform the said activity and the amount of fuel available. 

To answer the question, the lower mass limit for a main sequence star is about 0.08. If the mass of a main sequence star is lower than the above-mentioned value, there would be a deficit or insufficiency of gravitational force to generate a standard temperature for hydrogen core fusion to take place and the underdeveloped star would form into a brown dwarf instead.

The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °c. at higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be
Scilla [17]
   <span> The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be.....
a) higher, because the altitude is greater.
b) lower, because temperatures are lower.
c) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C.
d) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air.
==> e) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower.
--------------------------
Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules.

I hope this is helpful. </span>

Listed following are three possible models for the long-term expansion (and possible contraction) of the universe in the absence
sineoko [7]

Answer:

From smallest ratio to the largest ratio:

Coasting Universe - Critical Universe - Recollapsing Universe(From left to right)

Explanation:

The coasting universe is one that expands at a constant rate given by the Hubble constant throughout all of cosmic time. It has a ratio of actual density to critical density that is less than 1

The critical universe is one that is at balance with no expansion .I.e. the actual density and the critical density are equal, which makes the ratio of actual density to critical density to be equal to 1

Recollapsing Universe: The expansion of the universe reverses in the future and the universe eventually recollapses. The recollapsing universe has the ratio of the actual density to the critical density to be greater than 1
