-- The lenses of eyeglasses work because of refraction.
-- A pencil standing in a half-glass of water looks broken because of refraction.
-- The lenses and mirrors in telescopes and microscopes work because of refraction.
-- When the sun is setting and it looks squashed ... shorter and wider than a true circle ... that's caused by refraction of the sunlight through Earth's atmosphere.
Answer:
I = 12 A
Explanation:
For this exercise we use the relationship that voltage is proportional to the product of current and resistance
V = I R
I = V / R
let's calculate
I = 120/10
I = 12 A
Alpha particles have both high mass and low velocity, but it would be the former that determines why they can't penetrate. An alpha particle is made of two protons and two neutrons, which is quite a large mass for a particle. This large mass keeps it from penetrating too deeply into anything, since it will essentially "get stuck" when it comes too near to another atom.
So the answer, I believe, is B. Alpha particles have high mass.
