What refers to the number of cycles a particle riding the waves passes through in a given amount of time?
frequency ..... A+
What term refers to the number of waves passing a specific point in a given amount of time?
The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a fixed amount of time is known as the "frequency".=====is called the Frequency of the waves (located on page 10 of the Penn Foster - Sound Study Guide)=====The number of waves that pass a given point per second is measured in units of Hertz (Hz). Hertz is a unit for cycles per second.The number of cycles that a wave completes in 'S' seconds is 'S' times its 'frequency'.
What particle does argon 39 atomic number 18 emit when it decays to potassium 39 atomic number 19?
An electron - also referred to as a beta particle.
Describe what happens to the proton number and the mass number when an alpha particle is emitted by a nucleus?
Proton number is decreased by two while mass number is decreased by four. Since alpha particle is similiar to helium nucleus.
When an alpha particle is emitted the atomic increases by what?
The emission of an alpha particle (which is a Helium nucleus) from a radioactive nuclide would decrease its atomic number (z) by two, and its mass number by 4. So for example, Plutonium-239 (z=94) would emit the alpha particle and jump back down the table to Uranium-235 (z=92). It is possible to go up the table (increase atomic number) through certain beta decays.

Which particle does not change in amount in an atom?
The particle in an atom that cannot change is the number of protons. If that changes, it is no longer the same element.
What subatomic particle is the atomic number equal to?
The number of protons equals the number of electrons.
Number of complete cycles in a second is a whole number where as it is not?
The frequency does not have to be a whole number. 3 cycles in two seconds is equivalent to 1.5 cycles per second so the frequency is 1.5 Hertz. That is not a whole number!
Does the length of the pendulum affect the number of cycles?
no. it affects the period of the cycles.

What neutrons are in an alpha particle?
A nucleon is the amount of protons and neutrons. An alpha particle has an atomic number of 2 and a atomic mass of 4 then it has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.There are 4 nucleons in an alpha particle.
What is the change in the atomic number when the atom emits an alpha particle?
The atomic number will decrease by 2, the number of protons in the emitted alpha particle. An alpha particle is a helium-4 nuclei with two protons and two neutrons.
What happens to the atomic number when the nucleus releases a beta particle?
When the nucleus releases a beta minus particle the atomic number increase with 1.When the nucleus releases a beta plus particle the atomic number decrease with 1.
What particle consists of two protons and two neutrons it is the same as a helium nucleus release of a what particle by an atom decreases the atomic number by 2 and the mass number by 4?
an alpha particle
Frequency of a sound wave determines?
The number of cycles in a given time. :)
