Gamma rays are the most powerful

Gamma rays are not necessarily harmful to the planet Earth, but to all the living organisms that inhabit it, as Gamma is a powerful form of radiation.Gamma-rays are produced primarily by four different nuclear reactions: fusion, fission, alpha decay and gamma decay

GAMMA RAYS

Gamma-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, as are radio waves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and microwaves. Gamma-rays can be used to treat cancer, and gamma-ray bursts are studied by astronomers.

Electromagnetic (EM) radiation is transmitted in waves or particles at different wavelengths and frequencies. This broad range of wavelengths is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. The spectrum is generally divided into seven regions in order of decreasing wavelength and increasing energy and frequency. The common designations are radio waves, microwaves, infrared (IR), visible light, ultraviolet (UV), X-rays and gamma-rays.

Gamma-rays fall in the range of the EM spectrum above soft X-rays. Gamma-rays have frequencies greater than about 1,018 cycles per second, or hertz (Hz), and wavelengths of less than 100 picometers (pm), or 4 x 10^9 inches. (A picometer is one-trillionth of a meter.)

Gamma-rays and hard X-rays overlap in the EM spectrum, which can make it hard to differentiate them. In some fields, such as astrophysics, an arbitrary line is drawn in the spectrum where rays above a certain wavelength are classified as X-rays and rays with shorter wavelengths are classified as gamma-rays. Both gamma-rays and X-rays have enough energy to cause damage to living tissue, but almost all cosmic gamma-rays are blocked by Earth's atmosphere.

Wo audio speakers are placed on a vertical rail. speaker a is placed at head-level while speaker b is place at some variable height, \delta yδy, above speaker a. both speakers receive simultaneous input from a sine-wave generator so the speakers each produce a pure sinusoidal sound wave with a wavelength of 0.531 meters. calculate the lowest height that speaker b can be placed above speaker a to produce a minimum of sound heard by person standing \delta x = 7.86δx=7.86 meters directly in front of speaker a.

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.

10. the kinetic theory of matter states that atomic particles will move if the temperature is above the freezing temperature of water atomic particles bounce off each other one time in their life atomic particles are constantly bumping off each other because particles are in direct contact with each other at all times all matter is made up of atomic particles which are in constant random motion
