What is a flame test

Answer By exposing materials to a hot flame (from a Bunsen burner typically), the color of the flame can be used to identify the material. Certain elements give off a characteristic color when heated to high temperature. See the Related Links for "Wikipedia: flame test" to the bottom for the answer.

A method of obtaining an emission spectrum from a sample

What is the nuclear decay equation for potassium-40

There are three beta decay modes for 40K, and so three equations.

The equation for the negative beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 2040Ca + -10e

where the -10e represents a beta particle or electron.

The equation for the positive beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 1840Ar+ 10e

where the 10e represents a positive beta particle or positron.

The equation for the decay of 40K by electron capture is:1940K + -10e --> 1840Ar + ve

Are all the fuels fossil fuels

No Solar and wind power are both not fossil fuels.

What happens when an unstable nucleus undergoes radioactive decay

Particles or electromagnetic radiation are emitted.

What could the fourth quantum number of a 2s2 electron be

ms= +1/2

What represents a alpha particle

4/2He

What would result in a transmutation

An alpha particle being emitted would result in a transmutation.

What is the first quantum number of a 3p3 electron in phosphorus 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3

n=3

Is amplitude the apparent change in wavelength

Nope. Amplitude varies as wavelength change.

Amplitude of a wave is not related to wavelength. Amplitude describes the strength or forcefulness of a wave, not the length of a wave.

Is there a word called loght

loght

What is the half life of a radioisotope if a 100g sample becomes 25g after 18 years

9 years

In a nuclear fission reaction a freely moving neutron is introduced to nuclear fuel such as uranium 235 what happens next

A neutron is absorbed by an atoms nucleus

Which of these safety features aims to keep nuclear radiarion contained

Steel-reinforced concrete

How much energy is released if a sample 0.025 kg mass through radioactive decay

2.25 times 10 to the 15

What is the wave length of a light of frequency 6.42 x 10-14 Hz

Light cannot have a frequency of 6.42*10^-14 Hz. The lowest frequency for visible light is approx 100 septillion as large.

What is the frequency of a wave moving at 24 ms with a wavelength of 3 m

8Hz
