<span>Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions.
1. slows down neutrons
moderator - This is the substance that slows down fast neutrons and makes them slow neutrons which are easier to capture by the atomic nuclei so that the fission reaction can continue.
2. absorb emitted neutrons
control rods - These are rods made up of a substance that easily absorbs neutrons. Their purpose is to slow down or shut down the reaction.
3. mass of unstable atoms
nuclear fuel - The entire point of a nuclear reactor is the capture the energy released by the fission of unstable atoms. So this mass of unstable atoms is the fuel for the nuclear reactor.
4. concrete and lead enclosure
shield - This is the enclosure that prevents radiation from escaping into the general environment.
5. energy transfer medium
coolant - Since the purpose of a nuclear reactor is to generate usable energy, the coolant extracts heat from the fissioning core and that heat is generally used to boil water which in turn is used to operate turbines that power electrical generators.</span>
Most marine bioluminescence is blue-green, which is easier to see in the deep ocean
Explanation:
As per science, Emission and production of light by a living organism is defined as Bioluminescence. Bioluminescence occurs widely in marine animals whereas it is triggered by a physical disturbance is seen by humans, such as a moving boat hull or waves.
Throughout the water column bioluminescent organisms live and bioluminescence is extremely common in deep sea which shows that visible spectrum is more limited to marine animals than humans.
"Ionization energy" is the one among the following choices given in the question that <span>decreases with increasing atomic number in Group 2A. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". I hope that the answer has helped you.</span>
<h2>
All waves must ____ have to travel through
</h2>
Explanation:
Wave
It is the periodic disturbance in a medium.
Types of Wave
There are two types of wave in general depending upon their propagation through a substance.
• Mechanical
• Electromagnetic
Mechanical Wave
It is the kind of wave which needs medium to travel. For example: Sound Wave
That means sound can be heard only whenever there is presence of certain substance like water, glass, air etc .It can’t be heard in vacuum no matter how loud is the sound.
Electromagnetic Wave
Is that which can travel through medium as well as through vacuum. For example: Light
But unlike sound, light can be seen through a substance or in vacuum. That is the reason it is referred as electromagnetic wave.
