Explain why ionizing radiation is dangerous?​

Physics
1 answer:
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

When the dose is high enough, ionizing radiation causes two types of harm to humans: direct tissue damage and cancer. Direct tissue damage happens when enough molecules are broken apart that the cells simply can no longer function. This can lead to radiation burns, radiation sickness, organ failure, and even death.

Calculate the required rate of return for Climax Inc., assuming that (1) investors expect a 4.0% rate of inflation in the future
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Required rate of return = 18.5 %

Explanation:

given,                            

rate of inflection = 4 %

risk free rate = 3 %                      

market risk premium = 5 %                    

firm has a beta  = 2.30                                  

rate of return has averaged 15.0% over the last 5 years

now,                                                                      

Nominal risk free rate = risk free rate  + inflation

                                    = 3%  +  4%

                                   = 7%

Required rate of return = Nominal risk free rate + β (RPM)

                                       = 7%       +          2.3 x 5.0%

Required rate of return = 18.5 %

Make a rough estimate of the number of quanta emitted in one second by a 100 W light bulb. Assume that the typical wavelength em
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

#_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's calculate the energy of a single quantum of energy, use Planck's law

         E = h f

         c= λ f

         E = h c / λ

          λ= 1000 nm (1 m / 109 nm) = 1000 10⁻⁹ m

Let's calculate

          E₀ = 6.6310⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1000 10⁻⁹

          E₀ = 19.89 10⁻²⁰ J

This is the energy emitted by a photon let's use a proportions rule to find the number emitted in P = 100 w

                #_photon = P / E₀

               #_photon = 100 / 19.89 10⁻²⁰

              #_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

A sample of a gas in a rigid container has an initial pressure of 5 atm at a temperature of 254.5 k. The temperature is decrease
skelet666 [1.2K]

The gas is in a rigid container: this means that its volume remains constant. Therefore, we can use Gay-Lussac law, which states that for a gas at constant volume, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. The law can be written as follows:

\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}

Where P1=5 atm is the initial pressure, T1=254.5 K is the initial temperature, P2 is the new pressure and T2=101.8 K is the new temperature. Re-arranging the equation and using the data of the problem, we can find P2:

P_2 = T_2 \frac{P_1}{T_1}=(101.8 K) \frac{5 atm}{254.5 K}=2 atm

So, the new pressure is 2 atm.
