Is glass wool a sound absorbing material or not?
yes.glass wool is one of the sound absorbing material while ground glass is not.
What is smaller an atom or an atom's neutron?
The neutron is a part of the atom, therefore it is smaller.
What species are formed by the decay of neutron?
electron and neutrino are formed by the decay of neutron.
What scentisit described the existence of the neutron?
Ernest Rutherford described the existence of the neutron.
What two types of surface that is important for absorbing solar energy and keeps the planet warm?
what two types of surface is important for absorbing
Is glass wool a sound absorbing material or not?
yes.glass wool is one of the sound absorbing material while ground glass is not.
What can happen to Thorium if it absorbs a neutron?
Absorbing a neutron and emitting a gamma photon Th-232 become U-233.
How many neutrons are there when uranium 235 is bombarded with a neutron?
Uranium 235 has 143 neutrons; absorbing a neutron (neutron,gamma reaction) the isotope uranium-236 is obtained.
Is glass wool a sound absorbing material?
Yes
How can nuclear changes occur?
These can happen by fission where a nucleus splits into two parts on absorbing a neutron, or by radioactive decay.
Which is the best sound absorbing materials in partition walls?
glass wool
How does sound proofing work in a recording studio?
Sound absorbing materials. multiple layers of glass.
When a neutron enters a fissionable nucleus its entire momentum is transferred to the nucleus Does this accelerate the remaining nucleus or is the momentum transformed somehow?
Conservation of momentum means that the speed of the nucleus (the combined nucleus, after absorbing the neutron), must change, yes.
How are blackholes detected by astronomers?
Yes, they may be inferred by the bending of light rays in their vicinity. And the creation of the extraordinarily energetic Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) may be due to one Black Hole absorbing another. Or at least one neutron star absorbing another.
What are the requirements for nuclear fission to take place?
A nucleus which on absorbing a neutron becomes unstable and consequently splits. This happens with U-235 and Pu-239, which are the most common examples.
How can the rate of reaction be slowed down in a nuclear fission reactor?
By inserting the control rods which absorb neutrons using boron, cadmium, or other material with a large neutron capture crosssection. If the reactor should begin to run out of control the SCRAM system will suddenly insert large amounts of neutron absorbing material, instantly stopping the neutron chain reaction.
