Is the element with largest atomic mass always present in highest percentage by mass in a compound?
yes
What type of electromagnetic radiation is used to treat the waste water?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is commonly used to treat waste water. UV radiation in the germicidal range (between 200-300 nanometers) is effective in destroying harmful microorganisms present in the water. This process helps to disinfect the waste water before it is released into the environment.
Which atmospheric gases absorb UV radiation?
Ozone absorbs UV radiation. It is present as ozone layer.
How do electromagnetic radiations differ?
Electromagnetic radiation is concerned with the movement of photons (individual, discrete 'packets' of light energy.) The frequency of electromagnetic radiation is directly proportional to its energy and inversely proportional to it's wavelength. Thus, a higher frequency will mean that the photons have a shorter wavelength and have more energy.Different frequencies, and therefore energies, of electromagnetic radiation will give it different properties. Because of this, the frequencies of electromagnetic radiation are divided into a spectrum based on the different properties of electromagnetic radiation of different frequencies. This spectrum goes from radio waves at the very low end to gamma rays at the other end.See the link at the bottom for a diagram of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.However, in the below image the word 'heat' is wrong. Between Infra-red and Radio waves are microwaves.Nuclear radiation is normally concerned with any form of radiation emitted as a result of radioactive decay, in which a large, unstable nucleus of an atom breaks down to form a more stable one.There are three types of nuclear radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma. Alpha decay is when an unstable nucleus emits an alpha particle which is composed of two protons and two neutrons; i.e. it is effectively a helium nucleus. Beta decay is when an unstable nucleus emits a beta particle (an electron), and gamma emission is when an unstable nucleus emits high energy electromagnetic radiation called gamma rays.
An oxygen from present in the what filters ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
ozone
Why can humans not see radiation?
because they are present at the invisible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
What is electromagnet composed of?
Electromagnetic radiation is composed of electrons and photons. Since electromagnetic radiation can display wave as well as particle properties, the manner in which the radiation is presenting itself, and the way it is measured, will define which component or what ratio the components are present.
Is the element with largest atomic mass always present in highest percentage by mass in a compound?
yes
What type of electromagnetic radiation is used to treat the waste water?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is commonly used to treat waste water. UV radiation in the germicidal range (between 200-300 nanometers) is effective in destroying harmful microorganisms present in the water. This process helps to disinfect the waste water before it is released into the environment.
What is ionizing radiation and how can we reduce the risk of it damaging us?
Ionizing radiation is electromagnetic radiation or particulate radiation having enough energy per quantum to remove electrons from atoms, thus creating positive ions.The types of electromagnetic radiation with enough energy per photon (the quantum of electromagnetism) to ionize atoms are:ultraviolet Cx-raysgamma raysThe types of particulate radiation with enough energy per particle (i.e. quantum) to ionize atoms are:alpha particlesbeta particlescosmic rays (both primary and secondary)The only way to reduce the risk is to minimize exposure, but remember exposure cannot be completely eliminated as all of these types of ionizing radiation are present at low dose rates all around us.
Which one of the following discount frequencies will yield the largest present value give a stated future value and annual percentage rate.?
daily
Is radiation present in a vacuum?
yes
How is energy transfered when no matter is present?
Energy can be transferred when no matter is present by electromagnetic radiation, such as light or radio waves. However, the actual energy is matter, because matter and energy are convertible, simply different forms of each other, using Einstein's famous equation e = mc2.
Which country has the present largest army?
China has the largest army to the present day
Is solute the part of the solution present in the largest amount?
The solvent is present in the largest amount.
Which country has ultraviolet radiation?
At present, Australia is said to receive high levels of ultraviolet radiation.
What force is present in radiation?
the weak and strong forces
