"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves. They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays. They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.
Being so short, they carry lots of energy. They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA. They're dangerous.
The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation. The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.
As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.
You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays. The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.
It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up. Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.
Explanation:
Gamma rays are ionizing electromagnetic radiation, observed by the decay of an atomic nucleus.
Uses of gamma rays :
Sterilize medical requirements. Sterilize food Used as traces in medicine Gamma ray astronomy.State which type of variable is plotted on the x-axis
and which type is plotted on the y-axis.
Answer:
Often the independent variable is plotted on the x-axis - and example might be time (an experiment where time is measured by a watch or an independent mechanical device)
The dependent variable is often plotted on the y-axis - and example here might be the velocity or the acceleration,
It may be the responsibility of the experimenter to determine the value of the dependent variable by some type of measurement
After the experiment, scientists organize and (blank) the data.

how is light reflected from a prism
Answer:
White light entering a prism is bent, or refracted, and the light separates into its constituent wavelengths. Each wavelength of light has a different colour and bends at a different angle. The colours of white light always emerge through a prism in the same order—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

what is the difference between the two reactions that can occur during radioactive decay?
Which statement is true?
A. When a gas condenses to a liquid, it absorbs energy.
B. When water boils, it releases energy.
C. When ice melts, it absorbs energy.
D. When water freezes, it absorbs energy.
Explanation:
The correct answer is option B
Answer:
C. When ice melts, it absorbs energy.
Explanation:
When ice melts, it is getting hotter by absorbing energy and changes from a solid to a liquid. This is an endothermic reaction.
Two astronomers are viewing temperature data from each of the sun's layers, but the layers aren't identified. Describe one way the scientists can use temperature to identify which layer they are studying.(1 point) The highest temperatures are from the corona. The highest temperatures are from the corona. The lowest temperatures are from the photosphere. The lowest temperatures are from the photosphere. The lowest temperatures are from the core. The lowest temperatures are from the core. The highest temperatures are from the radiative zone.
Here we can study the different temperatures of each one of the layers of the sun.
We will find that the way that the scientist can identify which layer are they studying is "The lowest temperatures are from the photosphere."
A brief description of the temperature of each layer is:
Center of the sun: about 15 million K
Radiative Zone: Goes from 7 million K to 2 million K.
Convection Zone: goes from 2 million K to 5800K
Photosphere: Is in average 5800 K , but there are sunspots with lower temperatures, of around 3800 K.
Chromosphere: goes from 4300 K to 8300 K
Corona: Around 2 million K.
So now we can analyze each of the options to see which ones make sense.
A) The highest temperatures are from the corona.
This is false, we can see that in the center and in the radiative zone we have larger temperatures than in the corona.
B) The lowest temperatures are from the photosphere.
While on average the temperature of the photosphere is larger than the smaller temperature of the chromosphere, in the photosphere we have the sunspots, and there we have the smallest temperatures in the whole sun, so this is true.
C) The lowest temperatures are from the core (or center).
Clearly false, there we have the larger temperatures.
D) The highest temperatures are from the radiative zone.
Again false, the larger temperatures are in the center.
So the only true option is "The lowest temperatures are from the photosphere."

what is molecular formula give short answer
Explanation:
molecular formula consists of the chemical symbols for the constituent elements followed by numeric subscripts describing the number of atoms of each element present in the molecule. The empirical formula represents the simplest whole-integer ratio of atoms in a compound.
Answer:
The symbollic representation of a molecule of an element or a compound present in a molecule is called molecular formula.
For example: molecular formula of sodium chloride is NaCl.

in the Newton's Third Law of Motion state three characteristics
Answer:
Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

Answer:
Pressure is 1.96 × 10^12 Pa
Explanation:

height = 4 cm = 0.04 m
density = 20 g/cm³ = 20,000 kg/m³
But for force:

Nikki has a momentum of 45 Kilogram meters per second and a mass of 30 Kilograms. What is her velocity?
Answer:
45/30
Explanation:
bbsksksbsnbksbsksbs
Nikki has a momentum of 45 Kilogram meters per second and a mass of 30 Kilograms. then her velocity would be 1.5 meters per second
What is momentum?It can be defined as the product of the mass and the speed of the particle, it represents the combined effect of mass and the speed of any particle, and the momentum of any particle is expressed in Kg m/s unit.
Mathematically the formula of the momentum is
P = mv
where P is the momentum of the particle
m is the mass of the particle
v is the velocity by which the particle is moving
As given in the problem Nikki has a momentum of 45 Kilogram meters per second and a mass of 30 Kilograms
P = 45 Kilogram meters per second
m = 30 Kilograms
By substituting the values of the momentum and the mass in the formula of the momentum
P = mv
45 = 30 ×v
v = 45/30 meters per seconds
v = 1.5 meters per seconds
Thus, Nikki weighs 30 kilograms and moves at a 45 kilogram per the second momentum. subsequently, her velocity would be 1.5 meters per second.

When is the pressure of the man on the ground more – lying position or standing
position? Explain.
Hi,
The man on the ground in standing position has more pressure. This is because when he stands, only his legs are in contact with the ground. While lying, his body is more in contact with the ground, therefore, he exerts less pressure.
To the point, a man standing position on the ground had more pressure.
More is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforted.
Thank you...
Who exerts more pressure? a) A girl of 50 kg, wearing heels with an area of 1 cm2. b) An elephant of 4000 kg with foot area of 250 cm2.
Answer:
The girl exerts more pressure.
Explanation:
Pressure can be defined as the force exerted normally or perpendicularly per unit area.
i.e P = F/A
Girls
Area of the heel = 1cm² = 10^(-4) m²
Force = mg = 50 × 10 = 500N
Pressure =
[tex] \frac{500}{10 ^{ - 4} } [/tex]
[tex] = 5 \times {10}^{6}[/tex]
Elephant
Area = 250cm² = 2.5 x 10^(-2)b m²
Force = mg = 40000N
Pressure =
[tex] \frac{40000}{2.5 \times {10}^{ - 2} } [/tex]
[tex] = 1.6 \times {10}^{6} [/tex]
Between which types of elements do ionic bonds occur, and how do electrons act within the bond
o nonmetals and nonmetals, electrons shared
o metals and metals, electrons freely moving
O metals and nonmetals, electrons transferred
nonmetals and metals, electrons shared
Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.
the real answer is
O metals and nonmetals, electrons transferrednonmetals and metals, electrons shared
