Is nuclear waste renewable or nonrenewable?
Renewable and nonrenewable resources are being used every day. Both these resources help us with everyday life, although some are better for the economy than others. They are both sources of Energy.
Does Bullet for My Valentine have subliminal messages in their music?
As this question arises for nearly every band, no one but the band members know for sure.
What substance can you drop onto a scorpions head to make it sting itself to death?
Scorpions do not sting themselves to death. This old wive's tail arises from the fact that the tails curl over into the body as the scorpion dies...especially when it's being tortured.
What is a unilateral acoustic neuroma?
usually quite good provided the tumor is diagnosed early and appropriate treatment is instituted. Long term-hearing loss and tinnitis in the affected ear are common, even if appropriate treatment is provided
Where did castanets originate from?
The castenets are associated with Spain in most people's minds, but the attached Wikipedia article gives equal billing to many countries with Islamic origins or Spanish influence. If the question arises from a highschool music appreciation class, then "Spain" is the likely answer being looked for. If it is for a World Music Class, then it is worth reading the wikipedia article!
What is background radiation List some of its sources?
Background radiation is the nuclear radiation that arises naturally from cosmic rays and form radioactive isotopes in the soil and air. Some of its sources are : the sun, heat, soil, rocks, and plants.
How can mechanical energy be turned into nuclear energy?
This is not possible, nuclear energy arises because of nuclear reactions which are not influenced by mechanical application to a material.
This is a high energy photon resulting from the redistribution of the charge within the nucleus?
The high energy photon that results from the redistribution of the charge within the nucleus is called a gamma ray. It refers to a penetrating electromagnetic radiation that arises from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei.
What is the relationship of solar energy to nuclear energy?
They seem independent to me - except that solar energy arises from nuclear fusion in the sun
What will happen if Faraday did not discover the electromagnetic induction?
If Michael Faraday had not discovered electromagnetic induction, it is likely someone else would have. Important discoveries sometimes are inevitable as technology arises.
How are chemical potential energy and nuclear energy different?
Chemical energy arises through reactions between atoms of different materials, whilst nuclear energy arises through reactions in the nucleus of the atoms. In chemical reactions the nuclei are not affected or changed.
What can produce electromagnetic waves?
When a charge is stationary then an electric field exists. If that charge moves uniformly in space then magnetic field arises around the direction of movement of that charge. If the same charge gets accelerated then electromagnetic disturbance is produced in the space. So any charge oscillating or moving in a curved path would produce electromagnetic disturbance. Such a disturbance is known as electromagnetic waves.
What is radiant heat transfer?
Radiant heat is when thermal energy is converted to electromagnetic energy. The movement of atoms and molecules generates electric and magnetic fields. Photons are emitted and carry (transfer) the energy. This is called thermal radiation. A less strict meaning is the heating of objects, like walls , floors etc., to transfer heat into an area.
What is the relationship between solar energy produced by the sun to nuclear energy your facilities use?
Energy produced in the sun arises from nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei, whilst nuclear energy used in power plants comes from fission of uranium nuclei. They are very different.
Why is sea water used to cool nuclear reactors?
Sea water is used to cool nuclear reactors in emergency situations when fresh water is not available. We usually find very pure water used in nuclear reactors as a primary coolant. This water stays quite pure and retains little radiation after shutdown and cooldown. But if an emergency situation arises and the "regular" primary coolant (the fresh water) is lost, it must be replaced with any water to cool the reactor. Sea water is better than nothing.
What dangerous wastes are produced by nuclear power plants?
Power plants do not produce "dangerous radioactive waves" or "dangerous electromagnetic waves" or "dangerous subsonic sounds" or anything of that nature. Coal fired plants may produces some sulfur dioxide but that's about it.Nuclear power plants produce some radioactive waste but the major danger arises from the operation in the US of such plants which is aimed at producing plutonium for bombs.
What does necessity arises mean?
Same as need arises.
