What change in mass occurs when a radioactive atom emits an alpha particle?
4 from the alpha. Betas have negligible mass and gammas have no mass.
How are fumaroles different from hot springs?
A fumarole is a vent on or near a volcano that emits gas. A hot spring is a pool of water heated by an underground source.
How do heat transfers by radiation?
Heat transfer by radiation occurs in the infra-red part of the electromagnetic wave spectrum, because matter emits and absorbs radiation with that range of frequencies.
When metal is heated the light emitted is because it gains energy as they return to lower energy levels?
Just the opposite. As an electron returns to a lower energy level, it emits a packet (quantum) of energy that may be a visible photon.
A black hole emits no light because of its?
a black hole emits no light because of its high gravity
What is a blitzar?
A blitzar is another term for a fast radio burst, or the phenomenon which emits such a burst.
Difference between direct and indirect cathode ray?
In a directly heated cathode, the filament is the cathode and emits the electrons. In an indirectly heated cathode, the filament or heater heats a separate metal cathode electrode which emits the electrons.
Who observed that if an object is heated to a high temperature it emits radiation in a certain way?
nothin.
Explain why earth's atmosphere is mainly heated from the ground up?
Earth's atmosphere is mainly heated from the ground up because the heat is absorbed into the ground. The warmed surface of the earth then emits heat as infrared radiation which rises into the atmosphere. There the greenhouse gases like water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane absorb and hold the heat.
What change in mass occurs when a radioactive atom emits an alpha particle?
4 from the alpha. Betas have negligible mass and gammas have no mass.
Radioactive decay occurs when?
When a radioactive element slowly turns into another element/s when it emits various particles.
When a solid is heated it emits electromagnetic radiation known as An example of such radiation is the element of a stove stop burning bright red?
blackbody radiation
How are fumaroles different from hot springs?
A fumarole is a vent on or near a volcano that emits gas. A hot spring is a pool of water heated by an underground source.
Why does sun emits radiations?
Radiation just means light, but in all frequencies (instead of just the ones we can see with our eyes). The sun emits radiation as a biproduct (side effect) of fusion. I am not patient enough to try and explain fusion:) Wiki it
How does the heat recovery ventilator works?
The heat recover ventilator works by cooling and dehumidifying the air around you. The ventilator sends fresh air from outside and emits it indoors, heated.
How can you distinguish calcium carbonate from other deposits?
The chemical formula of calcium carbonate is CaCO3. It emits CO2 when heated. This gas tuns lime water into milky white when reacted.
What is quartz fluorescence?
Fluorescence occurs when a substance has absorbed light and later emits that light. Quartz is a material that undergoes this process. Minerals and creatures can both exhibit fluorescence.
