For this question, CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER, then explain your reasoning in the RATIONALE section below: Alpha, Beta-plus, Beta-minus and Gamma decay are all different forms of radio-Active decay. A certain radio-isotope emits ONE alpha particle, and its products then emit TWO beta-minus particles in succession. The atomic number of the final resulting nucleus will now change (as compared to your starting nucleus) by
A. zero
B. minus 1
C. minus 2
D. minus 3
Use a sketch, an equation in addition to your precise and concise description. Please give a very detailed answer.
1) Discuss the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion.
Read the following items carefully. State your assumptions if any. Show your COMPLETE solution and BOX your final answers. Keep your answers and solutions in 4 decimal places.
> Initially, 100 milligrams of a new radioactive substance Tobium, named after its discoverer Sir Tobs, was discovered and collected from one of the moons of Jupiter. After 6 hours from collection, the mass decreased by 4%, If the rate of decay IS proportional to the amount of the substance present at time t, find the amount of Tobium remaining after 48 hours.

A example of one is attached as well. The problem about the ROCK is the example CR. The problem you ARE writing a CR for is 5x^2-8x=3. Instructions below. For the CR's, claim you should answer the question of , do you get 2 real solutions, 1 real solution, or 2 complex solutions? For your reasoning you should explain how you know. Use the example attached to help you answer. hints: that plus minus sign means there are two answers. If the number under the square root is positive, you have two real solutions. If the number is negative you have two complex solutions. If the number is 0 under the square root you have 1 real number solution.arrow_forward

As long as an organism is alive, it keeps its carbon isotopes in balance with the atmosphere, but at soon as it dies, it stops taking up new 14C, and so the geologic clock starts. You found a shell buried in sedimentary layers, which has 6% of its original 14C left. Determine the age of the shell. Show your work.arrow_forward

- Radiocarbon dating is the most common and important absolute dating technique in archaeology. The method has proven invaluable for providing calendar dates for a range of different materials and many different time periods. Radiocarbon dating, however, is not without its limitations and uncertainties, so it is important for archaeologists to be aware of a range of issues when using the technique. For the second part of this assignment, please answer the questions below. 6. List two kinds of archaeological materials can be dated using the radiocarbon method and two that cannot be dated with radiocarbon. 7. In one or two sentences, explain why radiocarbon ages need to be calibrated into calendrical ages? 8. A radiocarbon date on wood charcoal was obtained from Layer N in the stratigraphic profile above. The date has a radiocarbon age of 5500 BP ± 50 yrs and it calibrates to 4450-4260 cal. BC.
